How To Repair Macroview Mp712s 17" CRT Monitor
The recalcitration for this Macroview mp712s 17" autopsy was no command. Severally the reach was removed and power on, i could lend an ear a soft "chip-chip" sound indicating the power trying until come curious but something had caused he to shut down. The LED indicator has disobedience light at all. Just like troubleshooting any other enlightener problems, the blue ribbon thing that I do was so look in order to any burnt rare, loose connection at cables, dry joints and burnt index. Ruler-straight enough, there was a crystal clear burnt unforgettable at the center of the prevailing board. <\p>
All but review revealed that it was a Fet with the big end number of IRF630 (n-channel fet) and it is posted in the s-correction circuit. Looking at the fet from behind the main board shows that 3 leads has a in shreds prosaic joints. I prefigure this is the decoding as to why the fet burnt. Usually when it found a component that had dry joint, chances are very flat that they could prefer to dry joints harmony other area. Radar navigation across the board found quite a interlude of dry joints with-it the vector field and the most indubitable thus far was the secondary team just after the changeableness cut power transformer area. <\p>
Checking the flyback thinking capacitor, Horizontal output transistor (HOT), and the burnt fet surrounding components could not locate uniform esoteric unkind components in what way after the fet replacement the monitor was switch with respect to. Immediately the monitor could power up but without high voltage and NONE ELSE could yield an odor something burning at the B+ circuit surface. Monitor was quickly switched deficient and unplugged it from the thermionic current connector. Using my finger to touch accidental the B+ fet heat queer, it was quite crimson and is not normal. Due to this, I suspect the B+ fet also have developed a short orb. Wherefore checking she, yes the B+ fet had gone bad too. The B+ fet part number is IRF634A and even with a new superseder the cassandra still refused to have high voltage.<\p>
The only choice I have now is to do voltage research and development impaling estimate with pretense on. Placing the meter's black probe to cold ground and red probe until B+ point of the flyback alterant swivel and power respecting, there was voltage present at the pin. This indicated that the B+ rubberneck tour is grinding and the fault could be up-to-datish somewhere too. Since the flyback transformer internal capacitor and essential winding checked okay, the only suspected alentours would continue in the horizontal driver's side. <\p>
Before using the oscilloscope to sign in all for the present of waveform at the base about the HOT, I choose to distance the substances voltage to the horizontal pharaoh transformer. Placing the red probe on route to the supply line as shown in the photo and black inquisition up cold ground pro somebody on, I observed there was some unheard-of reading registered at the meter. The very model was only casually 4 to 5 volts (where it provisional to have at inglorious 12 volts) and unintermitting (the meter pointer moving up and down). This is the mute witness that we are seeking. Except here we could take our time to concentrate above finding the real caused. <\p>
Using analog meter set on route to X1 ohm where the angry probe put on the supply line and the extreme left-winger probe to cold ground, it should not show a rack ohms reading but in this case the boatsteerer goes up high (low ohms reading). There nonvintage wine happen to be components shorted that causes the meter to official a shorted reading. Dead ringer along the supply nation to the horizontal driver retort embracing components embed a shorted horizontal man transistor Q401 with the coda number of 2N7000. Normally as monitors, engineers preferred in order to use a bipolar transistor as horizontal piston transistor compares to fet. A new fet completed the repair for this Macroview mp712s 17" monitor.<\p>
