just finished this repair walkthrough, although I am sure it will still be revised. I'd appreciate any feedback (good or bad) you have on it.
Thanks

I just completed the procedure following the walkthrough. I am have a major problem with the convergence. The blue seems to be too large. Even when I line the cross hairs, the white cross hair is 3/4 the size of the blue. Do you have an idea on how i can adjust this???? This was performed on a 52" phillips 51pp9303h 17.. Thnx Matt |

Turn set off.
Using a small paint brush remove all dust/contamination from the G2/Focus block.
Using a bright light, identify the row of FOCUS controls on the block and identify which color is which.
Remove Screen
Put up center cross or crosshatch.
Looking directly into CRT adjust the focus for that crt for the smallest centercross/crosshatch lines.
Do this for each crt.
Reinstall the main screen.
Put up the centercross and seperate the colors.
Install a piece of typing paper taped over the center cross.
From the back of the set look up at where the centercross is and you should be able to see the individual colors.
Adjust the thumb screw for the smallest line for each corresponding color.
DO NOT ADJUST THIS WITH THE ELECTRONIC ADJUSTMENT ON THE g2 BLOCK. THIS IS THE OPTICAL ADJUSTMENT.
Recombine the centercross.
Hopefully you are fixed.
Hope this helps
Jesse. |

Jesse didn't say anything about convergence. What all did you do? |

I preformed a coolant change on the blue and green guns of a phillips 51pp9303h 17. I was in sdm mode doing the convergence when the screen flickered a couple of times then shut off. When I turn the set back on i get a constant beeping sound but no power to crt's..... |

Unplug the set and let it reset, plug back in and set may come back on. If you followed the fluid change directions you certainly do not need to go into any of the service menu's. The normal consumer menu is all that you need.
Hope this helps.

If you have coolant leaking into the yoke windings you will start arcing between the yoke and the crt and will not be able to visably see the arc.
Only way to check this is to remove the yoke and clean crt and yoke - you usually can see a possible burn spot on the yoke. Sometimes this can be corrected with silicone if it has not progressed to far.
Hope this helps.
