Hello! I'm making this post for anyone else that might run into the same issue I did. I no longer have an issue, but it was a hell of a time solving my issue on a Sharp LC-60LE820U, so I'd rather save others the hours I wasted by taking a few minutes of my time to write this up.

Firstly, these TV's are known for bad LED's. Pretty typical for them to fail. That generates a 1 long, 1 short blink error. Not such a big deal, swap the damaged strips and call it a day! Right? Wrong! Now you've got to reset that lamp error. The TV has likely activated an 'error mode' that disables the...

Re: SNES Kiosk Monitor ( Zenith CD15MNTC1 ) Problem

I can't seem to get white, no matter where I go with the bias/drive combinations. I almost feel like something more was damaged. All colors seem to 'adjust' a bit with the drive (intensity) one, the other one is much much more subtle. So, at least that is likely functional. Any other suggestions? That 'flickering' really makes me feel like it is a symptom of the problem.

I tried replacing the resistor with a 270 ohm resistor, as the old one was at that value (not sure if it was before the huge voltage hit). Still nothing....

Re: SNES Kiosk Monitor ( Zenith CD15MNTC1 ) Problem

*I have not tried adjusting the bias or drive. I will give that a shot.
*I have not tried replacing the burnt resistor. It still reads 268 ohm, so I'm almost wondering (hoping) it was a 270 ohm. It did light up good, so I of course would not 'trust' that if I could at all avoid it, and do intend to replace it. I'll do that next.
*The old IC definitely got destroyed. Swapping it with the new one I got yielded a functional screen.
*This is my first time working on a CRT so I am not too knowledgeable here; I would...

Re: SNES Kiosk Monitor ( Zenith CD15MNTC1 ) Problem

Any hope for ideas regarding the green hue and the flicker, by chance?

Re: SNES Kiosk Monitor ( Zenith CD15MNTC1 ) Problem

It appears to be 7, sorry. I tried to indicate that with the red dots in the first picture. I can't find a 'pin 1' marking on the IC though, so I am not sure if I started on the proper side of the IC. Only the divet, but that is in the center. Unless the Phillips logo is the 'pin 1' indicator, in which case, it's pin 22.

Re: SNES Kiosk Monitor ( Zenith CD15MNTC1 ) Problem

The resistor has a resistance of 268 ohm currently. I received a few of the IC's mentioned today, and popped one in. Well, I have display now, but it is acting weird. Please see the following video: The green hue, slight flicker, and the flickering bright green ARE all real defects, not just a symptom of the camera. Would these be likely to be adjustment issues somewhere on the board by chance, or some other defect? I've tried combinations of the side and rear knobs. I found focus, and (I believe; not sure on the following) brightness,...

Hello. I am here hoping someone might have some information on this unit. I had originally disassembled this, to recap the board. It was producing the famous 'wavy lines', which recapping I do believe did fix. However, I am not positive but I do believe I accidentally mixed up the two five-pin connectors (stupid move, I know), and that worked poorly. I say this because upon reconnecting power, a resistor violently burned (bright glow), thankfully I was watching and it only occurred for a second, but that was still (I believe) enough to cause damage. The resistor is definitely burnt, still reads...

Re: Vizio VP50HDTV10A Plasma TV Issue

Well, I solved my own issue. I took the heatsinks off the XL/XC/XR boards, disconnected all the ribbon cables, alcohol swabbed them, and reinstalled. Problem is fixed. Hope this at least helps someone else in the future.

So, I'm having a bit of an issue here with a television set -- it's one I haven't encountered before. The original issue was the famous 'Bad YSUS' these are known for. So, replaced both buffer boards and the YSUS. TV worked great for 20 minutes, then a thin (1/2" - 1") part of the screen started acting weird. I say weird because, when there is composite/RCA (yellow/red/white) input, it shows up as a blue vertical line. When the inputs are being switched or there is no signal, it shows up as a part of the OSD not working and black. When you go to the TV selection, the 'snow' shows perfectly...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Well, I'm just doing the obligatory introduction post. I'm Chris; I'm from around Buffalo (NY). I'm an electronics hobbyist; that is, I fix things (and sometimes get paid to do it).

I'm into anything that can be taken apart, it's like adult legos. Cars, computers/electronics, amps, TV's, you name it. I'm also big on sharing any information I can to help others.
