No, I still haven't opened my TV, once people here finishes vacation I will do it ( so I still have a couple of days to live.


One of the rules of TV repair:  Never work alone,  that way if you do get fried,  there will be someone to call the emergency services :-)

btw: if you turn up all R, G, and B amps, you'll get a brighter picture and nothing else...

What I need is another TV..
I think I'll leave it, not worth the time, I probably won't be able to do anything...

<<<>>

actually you can't die 'cause there is no Amps but you will have a REALY painful SOCK.
ofcourse if you have cardioid probs then dying is an option...
As a careless profesional in this things I was shocked many times because I was careless when discharging the anode cap...
But I assure you... I NEVER got used the sock!!! and at 2 circumstances I cut badly my hand on the case...

Pffft... girlymen...

I've been nuked by a 1950 tube and by a 1960 tube in the past. It won't kill you unless you are unfortunate enough to bang your head on the corner of the bench/table as you fall on your arse. (But perhaps your TV has a bit more oomph than the 1950/60 if you're in europe?)

I recommend the following:  a long screwdriver so you don't accidentally touch anything with your hand/arm (only hold onto the handle, not the shaft), and wear rubber soled shoes so you aren't vertically grounded, then, put a nice mat down on the floor so if you get a suprise you at least have a soft landing.

As my local Commodore repair center tech once said, "Well it won't kill you, but you'll probably have a nice little nap if you accidentally touch that." :lol:

And for (insert deity of choice here)'s sake, take your feckin watch and rings off before you go prodding around inside there!  :lol:

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Great! :lol:
There was a time in my father's life, around 30 years ago when he fixed very old CRT's. He once toutched one that was on and got knocked inconscious for like 10 minutes  :-o
