Troubleshooting an HV Splitter / Focus Combo block (with more details)

turn your screens down and try turning on the set again after a few seconds try turning up the screens slowly see what happens most likely the screen controls are up to high

Would that be turning the screen knobs clockwise or counter-clockwise? If counter-clockwise, I've already tried it with the same result... any other ideas?

Thanks! ~Aaron

Could it be that the replacement HV Kit would prefer lower HV input? Is there a pot/adjustment to "crank down" the HV input? I've looked around but don't see anything obvious (This is an LXI RPTV (53") but I can't find any obvious model identification).

Thanks again, ~Aaron

Sorry for all the self-replies, I finally found the model number.

It's an LXI PTV415-AH01 Model Number: 626.54568291

Again, the issue is that after replacing the HV Splitter /Focus combo block with a new replacement kit, all three tubes warm up and light, but flicker and make a buzzing/crackling sound. After about 30 seconds the tubes all turn off at the same time although the TV remains on (power LED remains lit). If I power off then power on the TV again the tubes will flicker for 15-30 seconds and then turn off again.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I'm not sure where to go from here... I double checked all the connections again tonight and they all appear correct...

Thanks again! ~Aaron
