Re-solder FBT -safety concern

Jun 23, 2008 1 Replies

Hi, my Panasonic Quintrix F 24" TV keeps stretching the display in the horizontal direction (objects became fatter). I was told that re-solder FBT section may solve the problem. I can reach the solder side without disconnecting the anode from the tube. My concern is should I discharge the anode & AC input filter capacitor before proceeding?



Thanks in advance ck


You don't need to discharge the CRT before soldering the FBT.
