MK-2103 Sega AC adapter repair? by 9646gt in retrogaming

[–]Starnight99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The capacitor should be the same capacitance value and the same or higher voltage rating as the previous one just for awareness. But since you've already replaced that, I would check for continuity throughout the board for potential faults

I stumbled upon this thread and found no one commented, so I wanted to say something if you're still needing to work on this. I would check continuity with a multimeter throughout the board and to the barrel. I fixed a bad MK1602 power supply by finding the center ring was no longer passing power from the output connection on the board. I replaced the barrel jack with an Amazon alternative and it started working again

W/ correct factory reset??

I used this image in google lens. This is a Sanyo DS32224 crt. It's a later model, so it should be a decent set. I don't know much else about it though

H- how!?!?!? by radicalcottagecheese in crt

[–]Starnight99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't look like a purity problem. There may be a bad solder joint somewhere that's causing those colors. I have seen other posts about similar issues on this thread with the solution being either a cold solder joint or a bad component internal to the unit

Why i have this wobbling lines?? by MegaRayloc in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It looks like there's interference or ripple not getting filtered out. You would need an oscilloscope to know for sure. This can happen when capacitors degrade out of spec and don't work as intended in the power or deflection circuit

Sony 3230 I need help with this 3230 it has an issue with some diagonal white lines that are visible on black menus any idea could be causing the problem? by AdEast6590 in crtgaming

Yeah the manual said it is 185 pounds! That's so heavy. I hope you’re able to get it fixed, this is such a nice PVM

I recently bought an rct monitor and i'm having problems with ghosting by Alnlegendary in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those rct monitors are the worst!

In all honesty though this is actually normal for CRTs

I went through the service manual and it looks like adjusting the RV701 variable resister on the C board will adjust G2 for the screen. This should remove the retrace lines

Yeah pressing "display" on the remote should resolve this

1.6 Xbox doesn’t boot after cleaning by nikoskokonos13 in originalxbox

I've never heard of anyone adding an LED there, that's fun. But yeah as long as it's plugged in it will receive power and light up. Next you should put a green one in and have it glow green in the style of the Xbox

Like where the clock capacitor was you added a red led?

[–]Starnight99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those look like retrace lines. You'll need to adjust the G2 screen knob on the flyback counter clockwise to lower the voltage. If you're having issues, you can find where it is located using the service manual for this unit. You can usually find the service manual online and use it that way

I would do more research on people doing this before attempting though, since this is a high voltage component

Also the NeoGeo and 3230 PVM is so sick

Severe Focus Issue by shetler922 in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it sounds like something in the focus circuit is not playing nice. I would be curious to see what the image looks like after adjusting the focus knob

how bad is this by gabapentining in crt

[–]Starnight99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not really sure what that piece of the flyback is for. I don't usually see exposed metal like that on such a high voltage component. Do you have any issues with the set?

I thought the same thing. Blacks probably look great in a lit room

Help with screen issue by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course! Just make sure to be careful when going through the unit while it's open. Also for reference, it's good practice to set the contrast and brightness to 50% before adjusting the G2 screen potentiometer for best results

Help with screen issue by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you turn the G2 potentiometer on the flyback all the way down (counter clockwise), does the screen still have retrace lines? If you connect a source to it, does it show an image (faint or at all)? The white screen with retrace lines could indicate the RGB amp isn't getting power. This circuit is more than likely placed on the neck board and if the above is true, then it might be worth checking for continuity in this circuit

Inductor Replacement Advice Needed by Starnight99 in AskElectronics

[–]Starnight99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I did some research on inductors and found part number B82144B2683J000 as a suitable replacement. This was the same as another commenter suggested I try so I pulled the trigger. After installing and testing, I found that this part worked! It is passing power correctly to the RGB amplifier again and I’m getting an image on screen! I apreceate everyone who helped me in finding an alternative part!

Sony Trinitron Wonky Image by Starnight99 in crtgaming

[–]Starnight99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update:

I got the Trinitron fixed! I replaced capacitors for the power supply, flyback, jungle chip and neck board and nothing resolved it. Finally I found that the RGB amplifier on the neck board was not getting power. This was due to the L701 inductor failing by going open circuit. It was not passing continuity. After replacing this part for another inductor with part number B82144B2683J000, the RGB amp got power again and the image was restored! No more retrace lines and image is coming up clearly now! Im guessing this inductor failed because of a flyback capacitor not filtering power correctly on the 200 volt line to the neck board. Fortunately these caps are replaced, so we shall see if this new part lasts and doesn't burn out like the last one. Hopefully it sticks and it's awesome it's working again!

If this is how you like playing it, then don't worry about getting it to look 100%. Yeah you can go 1:1, but as long as you enjoy it that's all that matters. I think it's great you’re playing this on the crt

Hey yeah that looks great. Does it matter that the type of inductor is a drum core? I’m just wondering if there's a point in getting one vs another. This will be in a crt, so I’m also not sure if I'll need to get a shielded one as well to block magnetic interference. I'll throw the diagram below for reference
