Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello! My name is Bob, and I tinker with old school rear projection CRT tvs. I joined to get some opinions as to what has happened to my favorite tv, a 2002 RCA 52" with the PTK195 chassis. I love this old tv, I have a small place and i have to sit within 4-5 feet from the screen to watch it. I had the tv "tuned" convergence-wise so good that I preferred it to any newer technology tv; I had it super-sharp, and it was awesome.

It had developed an issue about 3 years ago that caused the colors to curve outwards on the left side top and bottom corners, but it was adjustable back to perfection, albeit I had to go into the factory service mode and re-shape the green mesh; (i know i know......) afterwards it was perfection.

I noticed as of late that it was slipping out of convergence again so I decided to fine tune it with the customer advance convergence menu. I was working on it and all the sudden, with no noise or anything, the blue and red blew out into a swirl in one spot only.

Ill go start a thread w/pics and more technical detail in a minute to see if anyone can shed some light on what exactly happened.

Thank you, and i am glad to be a member of the forum!

Hello! My name is Priyadarsi, I found this interesting site while searching solutions for my Acer aspire E1-571 laptop, which is laying dead since a week.

Though a civil engineer, I have a stiff inclination to-words electronics, especially computer hardware. I hope this site will help me a lot to repair computer hardware.

Thank you all for making this site so useful, and i am glad to be a member of the forum!

Hello! my name is Michael. I found this site as I was trying to repair a Sceptre X32 TV. I dabble in repair of certain electronics and have for a while as time permits. Also amazed at the Badcap issue. And as we are dating ourselves my first PC was a TRS80 model III.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hey Guys,
As soon as I get access I will be starting a new post in the Abit forums requesting help on how to pick the correct capacitors I need for a faulty motherboard.

I did find this old post which describes my exact problem (same Motherboard and same bad capacitors):
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showth...t=ABIT+AN8+32X

HOWEVER! the original poster never linked/showed which replacement capacitors he bought (he did fix his motherboard though)
ALSO! c_hegge (Super Moderator), in the 3rd post down does post a link to some caps but they are 16mm height and when I measure mine I swear they are 20mm height (from end to end...am I measuring correctly?)

If someone wants to "necro" that old thread in response to my above questions then I will be looking for that while I wait for posting privileges.
