    Re: Panasonic PVC-2021 Vertical Deflection

    I agree for critical regulation like the vertical IC this approach was sloppy. An IC based regulator would have been better.

    The last Panasonic I worked on used linear IC regulators and none of this zener crap.

    I could have adjusted the height but it would feel weird to do this service mode value shouldn't drift unless something had changed since calibration.

    It's against my nature to tweak service mode adjustments unless a critcal part replaced requires it. I certainly didn't want to mask a real problem like a failing vertical IC.

    All in all I think it's because of the iffy temperature stablity of the core of the regulator circuit the zener diode it's right next to the regulator transistor like 2/16 of an inch away as it generates heat (and believe me it gets quite toasty) it heats the diode. Maybe this was intentional to heat up the diode and stabilize it thermally? Maybe not.

    Thanks for all the help on this guys.

      >>i really dunno why they bothered...why not just put 7812 and be done with it...<<

      Because the 7812 would still need this circuit as it is the on/off control. You'd need this plus the 7812. The zener was cheaper.

        I honestly think that this was the core consideration of this circuit design.

        I considered scrapping the zener and using an LM317T to get the 11 volts but the end result would look a little hacked due to the resistors to set the output.

        Well hopefully I won't have to deal with a weird circuit like this again.

        Hear that Panasonic! Keep your kinky circuits to yourself .

            I'm surprised the vertical deflection was that sensitive to voltage. Of course, TVs have always had plenty of vertical overscan. It's been a fact of life from the days TV CRTs were round. Rather than using a regulator IC for the +12 supply, it should have been incorporated into the vertical deflection IC. Essentially a no cost improvement.

            And who says parts don't drift as they age? Yes, carbon film resistors are more stable than carbon composition, still care to bet some of the resistors haven't drifted in value? Caps change, too.

            For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

            Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

              Viewsonic G810 vertical deflection problem
              by Returning Buick
              I have a G810 monitor i've had for years but it has developed a problem with vertical collapse. Is there anybody here who has worked on these and can help me find where the circuit even is for the vertical deflection?

              Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) Vertical Deflection Stopped
              by motorahead
              Hi everyone, I've been troubleshooting my 20" Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) CRT after it failed to show a picture. The standby LED is blinking 4 times, which according to the service manual is a failed vertical deflection via the self-diagnostic check during power up.

              After getting the TV checked out by a technician and doing research on my own. The most obvious first step was to replace the IC502. I've done so with an exact NOS replacement with no luck. I've read a few suggestions to make sure the 12V supply to pin 2, but that voltage check would seem misleading? It seems if the...

              Panasonic TX-58AX802B - Boot Freeze
              by Shotgun25
              I have a Panasonic TV a friend gave me which I wanted to get running again.
              Seems the firmware might be corrupt because it will boot to the logo and then freeze and boot loop.
              I have tried to use a USB recovery flash following Panasonic website instructions, but no progress. If someone has other recovery methods I'm open to advice.
              I was told the problem got worse over a period of time until it wasn't booting.

              I believe this model uses eMMC for firmware storage which from my experience with android tablet is usually a short lifespan storage technology.

              Panasonic TC-P55ST50 8 blinks then no blinks
              by Andre Gilbert
              Hello! yes I know there is already lots of information about this issue. I have a Panasonic TC-P55ST50 that originally displayed an 8-blink error code. Following the troubleshooting flowchart, I ended up replacing the SS board. However, even after replacing it, the issue persists. The TV turns on and stays on without displaying an image, and continuity is confirmed on all connectors. What am I missing hereπŸ€”?
              Ok Im a mechanical engineer ...but I thought I was able to follow a rather simple flowchart for electric troubleshooting πŸ˜‚.

              Looking for Vertical IC for RCA Chassis CTC159L CRT
              by mopenstein
              I'm working on my 27" RCA console TV built in 1990. It had some vertical rollover for a few months that went away after being powered on for a few minutes. I had been meaning to open it up and check it out but it had total vertical collapse before I could get to it.

              Now that I have the time I opened it up and found a couple leaky capacitors around the vertical ic. So I figured the caps went bad and cooked the vertical IC.

              I got the caps out and replacements on order. But when I took out the Vertical IC I saw that the chip numbers have been almost completely wiped...
