Does anyone know the polarity of the W801 deflection board socket and also the polarity of the P204 video neck board socket? Are the two sockets even polarity sensitive? I just replaced the whole thing (deflection board, video neck board and remote control board) because the screen started pincushioning a couple of months back and wasnt able to be adjusted anymore. I have everything else wired (confidently) but Im scared as hell with these two last connections (damn why didnt I mark them). Currently there does seem to be a direction to the ease of inserting them into the sockets, one way is easy the other way not so much without forcing them into the sockets. I just dont want to take the chance before firing it up. |

no polarity for either one. one on the deflection board is the AC for the degauss, the neckboard connector is ground... no polarity. |

Thanks, :cheers: Yeah I didnt think so cuz they didnt have any special grooves or guides on them to prevent reverse polarity but wasnt sure. So, tried it pushing them in the easy way. I guess there are more problems though... -screen stays black -can hear the normal clicking as if no signal or in screen saver mode (typical when the monitor was working) -can see the green power lite on the deflection board. -everything else appears to be seated properly. (no burning smell!!) Ive read about 8 times out of 10 that a black screen may be caused by a bad power supply.?. The board (deflection, neck, remote) are all brand new from WG as a $175.00 replacement, I've had it for about 3 months in bag and box though since I just moved and finally had a chance to install it. Guess I should call them to see if there is somthing Im missing like a special procedure with a new board, with windows or somthing else or to see if they'll replace it after 3 months..I doubt it. If nothing else Ill put the old one back in and live with the pin-cushion a little longer. :cry: |

sometimes they ship replacement boards and replacement flybacks with the "screen" control on the flyback turned all the way down. see if that's it. |

hmmm, I'll have to dig through a schematic and see what\where exactly I'm supposed to do this. Noob here if you hadnt noticed! ??? [edit] is it one of these guys in the attachment? |
