I have a ctc169pt chassis that won't power up this unit has been worked on before as it appears that the H out transistor & the PS IC have either been replaced or resoldered.
H out transistor appears to be ok (not shorted or open) in circuit, however there is no voltage present at E C or B in stand by mode.
I checked a the diodes coming off the mains, they test ok out of circuit, I replaced CR4118 even though it tested ok.
still no standby voltage. I checked the big stand up power resister that comes off the mains (1.8 ohm 15 W) & it was open I replaced the the resistor, applied power & measured for voltage & no difference, I checked the resister again & found the new one was now open, no spark,smoke or heat, it just quietly opened.
I have no experience with this chassis or any schematics for it.
does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be ?
Thanks in advance, Roger
