Good morning all, Well, on to phase two. I removed the monitor from the chassis and it’s now on my work bench. The fuse tested out to be good. That bad component that we looked at awhile back, no longer looks like a chip to me. I thought it was going to be a 10 or 12 pin chip that I could easily remove and replace if need be. The component looks like it’s made up of a couple coils soldered directly to the circuit board. I took another picture of it from a different angle. See below.
Additionally, I watched a couple videos of testing the B+ voltage. One video was saying that the voltage they we’re looking for was 208 VDC, while another video was looking for a 108 VDC. Does anyone know the exact voltage for my Hitachi monitor? This monitor is type 37OESB22, Model: 13” COL GAM MNT. I couldn’t find any video specifically for the Hitachi. Also, when I’m test for this B+ voltage, can I just make a patch cable to supply the initial 120 VAC to the 3 prong plug? I’m going to try to get started tonight with this additional testing.
