Hitachi shut down

Mar 06, 2005 1 Replies

I posted this same problem a few times in the last 3-4 weeks. The set will not power up. Model #50EX10B. I have checked, replaced, and checked some more, various components. I have traced a problem to the system IC0001 and eeprom IC0002. I should have 5 volts at pin #44 of IC0001 (on/off) circuit, but I have 0 volts. I should have 0 volts at pin 3,4 of eeprom, but I have 5 volts. I scoped the data lines on the eeprom, but I don't see any type of data, only steady 5 volts. I am aware that corrupted eeproms can cause many different problems for a TV, and am suspecting this as the culprit to all my problems, since some of the problems are intermittent. The B+ wasn't regulated (198 volts), kept blowing fuse, blew Hot twice, etc. Now the set won't do any of this. Only relay clicks on/off with power button. Would a faulty eeprom cause all these problems, including missing the 5 volts on pin



44 of system IC? Anything further I can check/test here before replacing another component? Thanks a bunch group for all you responses and help to this point.

If you have a switching power supply problem and have too much B+ to the Horiz output and if you defeat shutdown you will break the Green CRT. First problem. Now you probably have other problems since the fuse blew to the horiz out. Too much voltage to the other circuits can cause problems there too.
