troubleshooting procedures, and some common failures reported to Thomson’s
Tech-Line.
The troubleshooting procedures may include circuit verification procedures used to
eliminate a circuit area from the troubleshooting steps. When using the circuit
verification procedures, care must be exercised to prevent further damage to the set.
Reference material referred to by this manual includes:
• ESI service data
• Training Manual
• Parts Finder (for Part Numbers)

SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION

Safety information is contained in the appropriate Service Data. All product safety
requirements must be complied with prior to returning the instrument to the
consumer. Servicers who defeat safety features or fail to perform safety checks may
be liable for any resulting damages and may expose themselves and others to
possible injury.

All integrated circuits, all surface mounted devices, and

many other semiconductors are electrostatically sensitive
and therefore require special handling techniques.

This troubleshooting guide covers several circuit areas. These areas are related to
dead set or shutdown type symptoms only.
Circuit areas are:
• Power Supply
• Deflection (Horizontal and Vertical)
• Pincushion Shutdown
• Shutdowns

Troubleshooting Fundamentals
One definition of troubleshooting is the diagnosis and repair of malfunctions in
electronic equipment using “Logical Analysis” and “Systematic Checks”. The key
phrases of this definition are Logical Analysis and Systematic Checks. Without the
application of these two principles, troubleshooting complex electronic circuitry is, at
best, a hit or miss proposition. It’s also known in some circles as “Shot-Gunning”.

It’s important to remember that troubleshooting is something of an art form and is as

much a mental process as it is checking waveforms and voltages. In order to
effectively troubleshoot electronic equipment there are several skills the technician
must have.

The technician must have:

• A solid understanding of basic electronics. He or she must understand how
a transistor, resistor, capacitor, coil, diode, etc. work. They must also
understand AC and DC circuits. Even with the best test equipment, without
this basic understanding of electronics, the technician is only guessing as to
the cause of a malfunction.

• A basic knowledge and understanding of how all the parts of the

instrument function together and how they affect each other. This
overview of system operation is necessary in order to understand how the
individual circuits can affect the overall operation of the equipment. This
is necessary in order to be able to associate a malfunction or symptom
with a circuit. In other words, could the suspected circuit cause the
specific type of symptom seen?

Page 5
When discussing troubleshooting techniques or principles there are a couple of
things that should be kept in mind. First, no one can teach a technician the best way
to troubleshoot. Troubleshooting is a skill that’s very individualistic. This means that
each and every technician will troubleshoot the same problem or malfunction
differently. That doesn’t mean one method is right and the other is wrong, just that
there are many different ways of solving a problem and that’s what troubleshooting
is all about….Problem Solving. However, there are some basic steps and guidelines
that can help a technician get started. A skilled technician will develop his or her own
style with time and experience.

In most cases troubleshooting can be divided to three basic levels or steps:

1. SECTIONALIZE
2. LOCALIZE
3. ISOLATE

SECTIONALIZE; determine which major functional group or section of the instrument

contains the fault. Generally, most problems can be sectionalized by carefully
analyzing the symptom.

LOCALIZE; determine which major circuit within a section can or cannot cause the
exhibited symptom. This usually requires checking major or key test points.

ISOLATION; find and repair the stage and/or component that has failed. This step
requires detailed measurement and monitoring of signals and voltages within the
suspected circuit area.

To quickly and efficiently diagnose a malfunction, the technician should follow a set
sequence of steps each time he services a piece of equipment. There are five (5)
basic steps in troubleshooting or symptom analysis.

1. Physical Inspection
2. Operational Check
3. Sectionalize
4. Localize
5. Isolate

Page 6
Following these five simple steps and having a basic understanding of electronics
along with how the equipment works will organize the technician’s troubleshooting
into a logical pattern or sequence and increase their effectiveness as a troubleshooter.
Remember, these are only principles and can be interpreted in many different ways.
Also, troubleshooting is a very unique skill and is learned by doing. All these
principles and concepts can be applied to servicing virtually any type of product or
equipment. The five steps of troubleshooting may seem obvious to some or complex
to others but with time and experience they will become second nature

ITC008 Shutdown
Shutdown consists of:
• An XRP circuit that monitors the heater pulse from pin 12 of LL05.
• Over voltage and over current shutdown for pincushion
• +12Vr shutdown
• I2C Bus Communication shutdown

Determining which shutdown circuit to troubleshoot is the key. There is no quick way
and from past experience, one just needs to start the process of elimination and
eliminate them one at a time.

Each shutdown has it’s own “trigger”. This “trigger” is what causes the shutdown to
occur. More then one “trigger” my feed into a single shutdown circuit. These types
of shutdowns seem to be the most difficult to troubleshoot. For example, in the
ITC008 pincushion shutdown over current and over voltage are on the same line
feeding the shutdown of horizontal drive. In this same shutdown circuit, feedback
from the IHVT (LL005) is used to kill drive signal while energy is still being transferred
from LL005. In this shutdown there are three signals that can kill horizontal drive and
shutdown the set. Knowing how to disable each will aid in troubleshooting what
“trigger” is causing the shutdown.

This section will provide troubleshooting tips on how each shutdown “trigger” can be
isolated in a safe manner. In some cases there is no way to isolate the trigger
therefore, some understanding of the shutdown will help logic out the “trigger”. Other
times it is trial and error.

Page 7
XRP EHT Shutdown
Use extreme caution when doing this procedure!!
Start by disconnecting the CRT anode lead and CRT socket. Then locate JL905 at
grid location 8,UU on the main CBA. Unsolder one end. This disables both the EHT
and excessive current shutdown for high voltage. Use caution with XRP EHT
shutdown disabled and keep on-times to a minimum.

Over Voltage / Over Current Shutdown (Pincushion)

This is by far the easiest to disable. The feed back information that causes shutdown
comes through connector BF001. By unplugging this connector the shutdown is
disabled.

+12Vr Shutdown
This is not a typical shutdown circuit but more a lack of run voltage issue. The +12Vr
is used as the run voltage for Horizontal driver amp TL033. If this voltage is missing
TL033 will start but never run. Supplying the +12Vr from an external DC source
verifies the +12Vr as the problem. This voltage should be supplied to the Cathode
of DL012 and referenced to cold ground while the set is pulsing or trying to start.

I2C Bus Communication Shutdown

With this shutdown it is a trial and error situation. Error codes are logged for
communication shutdown but can only be read if the set is operational. Knowing that
the Tuner, MAV CBA, and Alert Guard CBA are the only communication problems
reported it is safe to use the process of elimination for this shutdown.
The Alert Guard CBA is the only one that is of Plug and Play nature. Both the Tuner
and MAV CBA will cause shutdown if connected or not. Therefore; trying the Tuner
and the MAV are by trial and error.

NOTE: DP027 will short whenever feedback is lost or an excessive load on the
secondary of LP003 is present. This will shut down the power supply. IF DP027 is
shorted, check FZP61. If FZP61 is open, check the +13.1V for excessive load and
check the feedback circuit (IP001, TP022, and IP050) for proper operation.

1. Check RAW B+, if not OK check the full wave bridge rectifier DP002/003/004/005
and it’s associated components.

2. If RAW B+ OK, check the current sensing resistor RP020. If open, this would
indicate there has been a severe over current condition between the drain and
source of TP020. Check and replace all defective active components on the
primary side of LP003. Check for excessive loads off secondary of LL03 before
reapplying AC power.

3. Check for DC voltage and waveform on the gate of TP020. A waveform, like the
one on page 11, indicates the oscillator is running. If there is no waveform
unsolder the drain of TP020 and check for 7.8Vdc on the gate. 7.8Vdc on the gate
of TP020 indicates start-up circuit is working go to step 5. If a waveform is present
on the Gate of TP020, the primary switching of the supply is working.

Start-up Circuit Test:

Working unit voltages with the Drain of TP020 open: (HOT GND Reference)
• Gate = 7.8V
• Startup ckt = 8.9V (Measured on TP025 (E))
• TP025 C = 8.0V, E = 8.9V, B = 8.3V
• Junction of RP006 and 007 = 32.4V

4. If DC on gate of TP020 is wrong, check TP025, DP027, DP023, RP006, and

RP007 and replace if suspect. Hint: 27V on the emitter of TP025 indicates that
the base circuit of TP025 is open. Check DP023, RP125, RP132, or open circuit
to pin 3 of LP003. If there is 0V on the emitter of TP025 and DP027 is shorted,
check the regulation feedback circuit associated with IP001 and IP050.

5. If no waveform on gate of TP020 (DC OK), check TP022, TP023 and their
associated components. Replace all transistors if one has failed or is suspect.
If TP020 has failed more than likely the other transistors have been stressed and
the circuit will self-destruct again when plugged into 120 AC.

6. If TP020 checks OK (with primary circuit pulsing), check IP050 (Reference

Regulator) and IP001 (Opto Coupler) and their associated components. Also
check for excessive loads of the secondary of LP003.

Dual Voltage Regulator IP030
There are two output voltages from IP030 but only one is switched. Pin 4 controls
the output on pin 8 (7.9V). When pin 4 goes high, there should be 7.9V on pin 8. This
is easy to check by simply removing (unsoldering) pin 4 and checking the output. If
voltage is present on pins 1 and 2 then pin 8 should be 7.9V if IP030 is working
correctly.

The other output on pin 9 is 3.3V. This voltage is used for System Control standby
B+ and Pin 6 of IP030 is the reset voltage for IV001 (SysCon). When power is first
applied, IV001 turns on the dual regulator (IP030) for a short period of time. During
this time Degauss is energized and pin 8 of IP030 is switched on supplying the 7.9V.
No relay click could indicate IP030 3.3V problem.

IP030 Troubleshooting
1. Check for 13.1V on pin 1 and 2 of IP030. If the voltage is correct go to step
2. If missing or not correct troubleshoot standby power supply.

2. Unsolder pin 4 of IP030 and check for 7.9V on pin 8. If the voltage is present,
go to step 3. If the voltage is low or missing suspect IP030.

3. Reconnect pin 4 and check for 3.3V on pins 6 and 9. If present, go to step
4. If the voltage is low or missing suspect IP030.

Page 12
 4. With pin 4 of IP030 connected, monitor pin 8 and press the power switch. If
7.8V momintarly comes up, system control and regulator are working
correctly, suspect a Horizontal startup problem. If there is no change on pin
8 troubleshoot system control.

ITC008 Deflection Troubleshooting

In order to troubleshoot deflection we must first understand where the signals are
generated. In the ITC008, IV001 (TV Processor) is used to generate both the Vertical
and Horizontal drive signals. The generation of these drive signals depends on
several external circuits and proper operation of IV001.

First, being system control, IV001needs to have VCC (Stby), GND, OSC, and
RESET to function. Next, some sort of user interface (Remote or FPA) to tell IV001
what to do. IV001 also needs a set of instructions to perform the expected command.
This instruction is in the form of “DATA” found in the EEPROM (IR001). The “DATA”
is used to set up registers in IV001. These registers include Horizontal timing,
Vertical timing, and shutdown settings. Transfer of "DATA" happens each time the
set is turned on. Failure to properly transfer the "DATA" will result in a dead set
condition.

This troubleshooting section assumes certain sections of IV001 are working correctly.
These sections are System Control and Signal Processing.

Vertical Deflection Troubleshooting
(No Vertical Deflection)

Setup: Remove CRT Socket, apply AC power and turn on set. When troubleshooting
a Vertical deflection problem where the set is operated without deflection it is
customary to remove the CRT socket(s) to prevent the CRT from being burnt.

1. Check for –12V on pin 4 of IF001 referenced to cold ground. If missing suspect
DL010 and RL010 or a problem with the –12V supply. If correct proceed to
step 2.

2. Check for proper waveform on pins 1 and 7 of IF001. These waveforms are
generated by IV001. If not correct, troubleshoot IV001 vertical section or
suspect EEPROM alignment data corruption. If waveforms are present,
check for 48V P-P on pin 5 of IF001. If present IF001 is working and problem
is in the yoke circuit. If not go to the next step.

3. Compare the voltage found on pin 2 with that found on pin 6 of IF001. These
two voltages should be about .3V different. If they are equal, DF010 should
be replaced.

4. Check for –10.3V on pin 3 of IF001. This is the boost circuit for IF001. When
this voltage is missing suspect IF001, CF010 and DF010. If correct IF001 is
working and problem is in the yoke circuit.

Hint: If set is shutting down and removing DL062 allows the set to operate with out
vertical deflection, suspect IF001, DF010, and CF010. These are the most common
failures of the Vertical circuit causing the set to shutdown. Also check the +12Vr
circuit (RL012 and DL012) off pin 6 of IHVT (LL005).

NOTE: Settings in the EEPROM (Vertical) can also cause shutdown. Misalignment
of Vertical Slope (parameter #06) and Vertical Amplitude (parameter #08) can cause
the protection signal from the E/W module to activate and shutdown the instrument.

To correct for this problem, temporarily disconnect BL101on the E/W module to
restart the instrument and reset both parameters.

Horizontal Deflection Troubleshooting
(No Horizontal Drive)

1. Unsolder collector of TL35 (Horizontal Output Transistor).

2. Monitor the base of TL35 and press the power switch. The set will cycle until
power is pushed again. A horizontal drive pulse should be present at the base
of TL35 while it is cycling.

3. If a drive pulse is present on the base of TL35, IV001 and the driver circuit are
working correctly. The problem is off the collector of TL35. Suspect Yoke,
Yoke return circuit, pincushion, LL05 and the secondary side of LL05.

4. If the drive pulse is missing check for drive at pin 33 of IV001. If missing,
suspect CV004, CV005, CV006, CV007, CV008, and RV001 components off
of pins 15,16,17, and 19 of IV001. Corrupt data in the EEPROM could also
prevent horizontal drive.

5. If drive pulses are present at pin 33 of IV001, check for them at the emitter of
TL031. If they are missing, disconnect DL062 and recheck. Drive pulses on
the emitter of TL031 with DL062 removed indicates that drive shutdown has
occurred (See shutdown troubleshooting section). If drive is present at the
emitter of TL031 with DL062 in circuit, check for drive at pin 3 of LL032 (LL033
alt). If drive is present at pin 3 of LL032, suspect LL032 (LL033 alt) or a
connection problem with LL032 (LL033 alt). If missing go to next step.

6. Check for 13.0V at the collector of TL033 in standby mode. If missing,

suspect RL037 and RL038 or TL033 (shorted). If present suspect DL035,
RL034 or the +12Vr source.

NOTE: Pin 33 of IV001 (Horizontal Drive) will have 7.0Vdc when drive is missing.
Possible causes of no Horizontal Drive:
• Corrupt EEPROM data
• +VCC missing at pins 14 and 39 of IV001
• Internal OSC off frequency. Capacitors on pins 15, 19, 16, and 17 of IV001
effect PLL circuits.
• XRP detected at pin 36 of IV001

Alternate Vertical Troubleshooting Information
Repeat failure of the vertical output IC (IF001) can be difficult to find and expensive.
The following information pertains to troubleshooting the vertical circuit with the
vertical yoke disconnected. By unloading the vertical circuit it is possible to make
checks to the vertical output IC with out damaging it.

1. Disconnect the CRT socket and BF002 vertical yoke connector.

2. Using the Voltage chart, check for correct DC on all pins of IF001. If a voltage
is not correct see the notes section of the Voltage chart for possible causes.

Pin No. Voltage Notes

Incorrect waveform from IV001 or

missing wavefrom. Check for open or
1 +.7 shorted components between pin 21 of
IV001 and pin 1 of IF001. Check
feedback resistor RF006.
Check for open circuit from +12Vr
2 +12.2 source. Remember if the +12Vr is
missing the set will shutdown.
This voltage is internally generated by
IF001 and pin 4. If missing, suspect
3 -13 IF001 or pin 4 voltage missing.
Common parts for incorrect voltage
are: IF001, DF010, CF010.
Check DL010 and RL010 off pin 7 of
4 -13 LL005. If RL010 is open check for
shorts on the -12Vr source.
This voltage is controlled by IF001 and
the input pins 1 and 7. If pins 1 and 7
are correct suspect IF001, RF006,
5 +1.6
RF009, and RF007. Voltage High
indicates no drive to pins 1 and 7 of
IF001.
This voltage should be lower then pin 2.
6 +11.8 DF010 is a common failure along with
IF001.
Incorrect waveform from IV001 or
missing wavefrom. Check for open or
7 +.7
shorted components between pin 22 of
IV001 and pin 7 of IF001.

ITC008 Pincushion Shutdown Troubleshooting
Pincushion shutdown occurs when TL101 (Pin Driver) pulls excessive current
through RL111. As the current increases so does the voltage. IL101 pin 12 monitors
this voltage change and when the voltage exceeds the reference voltage found on
pin 13 of IL101, IL101 (comparator) switches states and puts a high on pin 14. This
high is sensed by TL061 base turning it on and killing horizontal drive. To defeat this
shutdown circuit and troubleshoot the pincushion circuit, disconnect DL062.

Some of the common failures in the pincushion circuit have been:

• DL101
• DL102
• DL012

1. Verify the set is in pincushion shutdown by disconnecting BF001. If the set

stays on, the pin circuit is causing the shutdown. If the set still shuts down the
problem is not with the pincushion circuit.

2. Unsolder DL062 cathode. This removes the shutdown protection. Use

caution when operating the set with DL062 disconnected. Short on-time is
recommended.

Board Assembly (CBA). If the voltage is high suspect an input signal problem
or incorrect adjustment.

Note: This voltage can reach +130Vdc. Caution should be taken if this
voltage exceeds +50V. +50V is the over voltage shutdown of the pin
circuit. With DL062 disconnected the over voltage shutdown is also
disabled. Running the set with voltage in excess of +50V can cause
additional damage. Short on time is highly recommended.

Tech-Tip: The Pincushion CBA is a replaceable module, however; troubleshooting

the module to component level can be accomplished. One of the common failures
has been cold solder connections on BL101. An oscilloscope and multimeter are
required to isolate other problems. Keep in mind that the voltage readings found in
the schematic may not be exactly what your set has. The pincushion circuit has
adjustments for the different screen sizes therefore the voltages and waveforms can
be slightly different. For example: TL101 pin 3 shows to be 18.0V, our test set used
to develop this troubleshooting guide measured 20.8V. An acceptiable range for the
voltage on pin 3 of TL101 would be from +15V to +30V.
