Title: makvision 2929 blowing HOT
Post by: RichSorr on August 14, 2015, 08:19:42 am

I have a makvision C2929D that keeps blowing the HOT and burning up the 1k resistor at R68. Any suggestions as where to look next?

When I turned it on after replacing those parts I got a high pitched squeal and a few clicks followed by a puff of smoke from the resistor.

any help is appreciated

no luck with those caps. I replaced everything once more and still have R68 smoking with some high pitch whines and clicking. Oddly enough I pulled the HOT off and it tested fine this time around.

I couldn't put anymore time into it. Installed a 26" LCD and will save the chassis for a rainy day. thanks for the help
