Re: Philips tv help please!
Hi
This is a general method I used lots of time before:
Normally it is something loading the LOPT on one of the secondary windings. Either a leaky rectifier diode, shorted capacitor or some stage that is fed from these windings. Simple ohm-meter tests on the diodes, caps etc. should point to any faulty component on the secondary side. If that turns out to be OK, try disconnecting the feeds to the various sections, audio, vert etc. You may not have any picture coming up, only a line or something, but it will help identify the stage that consumes all the power causing the line stage to go in protection mode by allowing only the designed max power thru the LOPT. This is why the voltage is reduced, because something is drawing more current.
