hay i got a 55' philips where after a while the green CRT will start acting funny. the color will shut off and then start this green line flicker across the screen? any thoughts?
Nobody but a highly patient, highly experienced repair or electronics assembly person who works with soldering on a daily basis should attempt this repair. Far too much is riding on it. One misstep and you could wind up with a giant boat anchor. Contact me about doing it. I will equip you with a lifetime warranty on my work.
ok thanks... i'll get to the disassembly and resoldering this weekend and let you know how it goes... how would you know if there is a lamp? can you see in it like a regular light bulb... thanks for your time Bob...
@vangbro920 Are you sure you want to take this on? I have advised that only professional grade soldering people handle this repair, and you may be. But I have to sincerely doubt it, if you are not already aware that these sets don't use bulbs but cathode ray tubes.
This is not something to be taken lightly. One false move and you'll have a several hundred pound boat anchor on wheels! If you are a beginner, I would advise stepping away from the TV right now...
Thanks for the email reply and link to this video... I find the info very helpful but do you have any video or know any video link that shows you step by step to take the board out and redo the soldering on the board. Thanks.
Yes. The blue flash and intermittent brightness etc. are a warning shot across the bow. When the cold solder joints I talk about in my video are allowed to continue after their effects have been noticed by the owner, things eventually go critical. Doesn't take much. Your set is "going into protection".
Luckily they are still emminently and affordably repairable. Contact me directly and we'll do a phone troubleshooting session to figure out what has to happen next.
Also, I didn't mention (hey, this was my very first video!) that I perform that resoldering operation on the Pioneer power supply boards. Send your board to me and I'll save your set and give you a lifetime warranty on my work. Contact me by phone or email and I'll get you the particulars:

If you liked this video, contact me. I will keep CRT RPTVs alive and well indefinitely, as they are ageless, permanent sets.
Thanks for watching. Call me for how to get it done right. And permanently!
