If it is clean, find the screen pot of the arcing tube, turn it down and test the set

 

i tested it, when i tested it, the anode sparked, i recorded it, so i will upload it to youtube so you can see, i also am wondering if its possible to replace the anode clip, i have a different style anode clip that i think 'might' work better, then again, i am 16, and my knowledge of CRT tubes only goes to basic concepts, how they work, basic wiring, deflection coil adjustment, and turning old tvs into diy oscilloscopes (they work really well too!)

 

so does anyone know if i can swap the anode clips from the random anode cable i have to the one for the kp-61hs10?

here is the video of the anode sparking

 

i replaced the anode clip, and its not sparking anymore, but now the tv is just turning off... i wonder if i reconnected all the cables properly... or do i have to change the screen pot back to its original position?

 

the light on the front of the tv blinks 4 times.. which is vertical deflection malfunction, so i guess i didnt connect a cable or, conencted it to the wrong place, i will look and see if i can figure anything out.. no sparks now, so thats a good thing... i think..

 

a cable was unpluged...

 

but now there isnt any video... just a black screen.. but there is audio.... need some help here... anyone know what to do?, it was working fine, but it was out of focus, so i pressed flash focus, it went through its process, it took longer then usual, and when it was done, the blue channel was out of alienment, but i could tel that the deflection coil needed to be adjusted, but before i adjusted it, i decided to turn the tv off and turn it back on... the screen was blue with white circular lines, so i turned it back off, then tried turning it back on, and now there is no picture at all, but there is sound... and the timer/standby light is just blinking non-stop

 

i dissconnected the HV cable from the blue tube,and also the two cables that come from the blue tube and connect to the focus block, then i turned on the tv, still no picture, but now it is giving me a error code of 5, which is video out abnormallity on C board or A board.... i will look into it now..

 

Don't do too much meddling. The error codes indicate that screen is too low. I told to reduce screen to prevent sparking.
Since sparking is gone. Turn on the TV and readjust only the screen u reduced until u get a picture without sparking. If u get a picture without sparking, then u are good.

Turn it off wait for a few mins. and then turn it back on check if u get the blinking.

U need to give me time as I am on a different time zone.

I helped u since u said u had fixed it before and the input you gave is quite good on the basic knowledge but I never realized that u could be 16.
Since u worked on it pretty good, I helped along. So please don't do anything stupid.

To prevent further sparking u should get the corona dope. That area is too small and will spark as dust accumulates with in couple of months.

 

Video clearly indicated that u need to insulate the anode cap as it was done by the factory. I cannot say anything more to this matter.

Follow my advice as u had before.. A warning...u could get spark for a limited amount of time. It is putting stress on the flyback driver. Eventually it will blow. Then you might have no choice but to buy the FBT Assy completely.

 

Ok, i revived the set from the dead, but the green and red tubes are showing 'pincushion' how do i fix this, is it a adjustment on the tube itself (which i dont believe it is) or is it in the service menu? i have the service manual with me

 

i will take a picture to show you

 

after further inspection, i relized its only the green channel showing the pinchusioning

 

i have the red and blue lenses covered, here is the green http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/8495/1006866d.jpg


Also, i have ordered the corona dope

 

I am getting domain error now from image shack. What's wrong?
the other pictures are fine but the last one.

Can u get the picture clearly?
Any sparking?
Any more blinking codes?

Click on my nick and email me the service manual, I have to read to guide you.

 

no error codes, no sparking, everything is perfect, except for the pincushioning on the green channel, here is the picture again, new link this time, http://img192.imageshack.us/i/1006866d.jpg/

once again, i have the red channel and blue channel covered so im only seeing the green channel

 

Not bad for a n00b..

Follow the service guide for alignment.
Have by any chance accidentally moved the purity magnets mounted near the deflection coil.
It will be glued, from the white marking u can see if it is moved. Recheck the green gun thoroughly.

One more thing. Clear the error codes now. From this you will get fresh codes should any more occurs

 

OK, i will inspect the tube and make sure the purity magnents arnt moved out of there normal position, and yes, i am a noob, but i do good work... most of the time but of course, not without help

 

Ok, i take it the purity magnents are on the deflection coil, if so, it all looks fine, nothing knocked out of alignment or anything, at least not visibly, so i guess i will go into the service menu, right down the existing config, and adjust accordingly, i already cleared the codes, thanks, i will post the results of the adjustment
