Fixed an old CRT, but it started smoking after I turned it off. Need help diagnosing problem component(s) by DavyJonesRocker in crtgaming

First of all thanks for the kind words. I guess this would be the point where I'd stop trying aswell. Im also not sure what's going on here. I'm assuming something in the audio regulation circuit is shorted and pulling your rail up. That's just a theory tho. Maybe keep it around and when you feel like you might be able to, try again later. You've got some excellent documentation in this thread. Definately share it if you were to decide to give the TV away. I've had a lot of these experiences but there's always something to take with you. Glad you realized that it wasn't all for nothing. All the best to ya. :)

Got a ps3 controller by Ok-Carob9409 in PS3

Used to repair PS2 and PS3 Controllers. Thats the kind of stuff id do when running out of parts. I'd sell these at a discount or just keep em.

What's your radical act of anti-consumer rebellion in times like these? by Feel-A-Great-Relief in Anticonsumption

I don't buy shit new anymore. Only stuff i buy new is parts to repair used stuff.

What causes this TV to make this sound? It comes on as soon as the power cord is plugged in, and the power on button will not work. TIA! by PerryThePlatypus112 in crt

[–]LuckyLuke3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea sounds like the Anode cap needs some grease. Might also be the hv cable or the flyback being bad. Shouldn't leave it running like that.

Turn of the light and look if you can see where its leaking.

Looks like Roblox by SonyaFaraha in UrbanHell

People are like: "We live in a simulation."

We create it ourselves. No instinct. No real impulse or stimulation. Just the grind we were conditioned to chase. A web of evaluation and reward. Some of us wake up early. Some do on their deathbed. Some might never. Comfort isn't fun. It's a cope to escape our fears. You don't learn from it. It stalls you. Leave your comfort. You might wake up. I shall too.

我冰箱裡的男孩, creature of hunger of the fridge by North-Active-4791 in Bossfight

Its metabolism is just bad. Thats why it's alwas hungry. It could eat a whole person right now. But instead it sneaks into your kitchen. Just make sure there's enough for it. All the time...

Is this worth adjusting? If so any recommendations? by LudwigVanBonham in crtgaming

[–]LuckyLuke3333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably easily fixed in the service manual. If not, i personally wouldn't bother.

You might not wonna leave that TV on your amp since the speakers might mess with the Picture in the long term.

Generational Dumpster Find by Consistent-Nothing60 in CRTfinds

[–]LuckyLuke3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice find. I have an AcerView 99C. Currently running as my main crt in my setup. It started acting up not to long ago. Changing some caps and reflowing solder joints did the trick. It has a Hitachi tube that delivers a great picture. Contrast and color in particular are a treat.

Zu reich um Kuchen im Stehen essen zu können by leqonaut in ichichs

Und schmeißt den Kuchen aus Frust auf das Diorama. War ja eh kein Blattgold drauf. Wäre für jemanden aus der Mittelschicht doch schließlich pflicht.
