The picture was bright and clear and then all of a sudden went to
black. I powered set down and back up and picture came back, but then
went black again in a minute. Sound works fine, as well as channel
changer, etc. However, it has no picture, no menus, etc. I have
service manuals and schematics, but thought I'd look for some pointers
before I dig into it and see if there are known problems with this set.
Is the FBT the primary suspect? I see the FBT feeds the HV-BLOCK,
which then sends the HV out to the three CRT anodes. Can this go bad
and/or short out FBT, or is the FBT usually to blame? The FBT also
supplies another board with the Focus HV, which then is sent to the
three tubes. Can this be a suspect? Any other things I can look for
and any ways of determining the problem? I see bad caps are a problem
on the VS series, but not sure if they are on the WS models. Thanks!
