Re: NEC FS5197 TV, Blank screen, sound okay

If EHT and heaters are ok, the problem must be manifesting on cathodes
or grids. (Emission so dire you cant see a thing is pretty unlikely,
but I have come across it once.) I dont see that theres anything to
suggest other than metering those and working back from them. Of course
the cause may be far away from the cathodes, possibly as far away as in
the tuner. Without a cct diag youre going to have a hard life!

Thanks guys but ----- A big sorry --
I forgot to mention that the on screen display is working fine. The crt and
it's voltages are okay. The problem is in one of those multi-legged devices
or in a switching transistor(s). Video In or TV just produces a blank
screen. Setting the onscreen menu to display a blue background for no
signal also produces a blank screen. I started poking around the
transistors located around the tuner/video stage. Unfortunately as I said I
don't have a circuit so it's a bit tough to find out where each stage is
and what each section does.

By asking in these newsgroups in the hope someone may have helpful info.
Failing that get the data sheets of the various chips and work around
them. Fixed a number of sets with no ccts, some problems are very simple
to solve, others just time comsuming.
