High_voltage_warning.svg.png WARNING:

Opening the monitor/terminal will expose you to dangerous voltages and currents.
Those threats can still be present long after power has been disconnected from the monitor/terminal.
There is a threat to your body from flying glass fragments, resulting from accidental breakage of the CRT (includes CRT neck).
Before opening the monitor/terminal, adequately educate yourself as to the hazards/risks/precautions.



Monitors/Terminals Repair Database

Author:  Al Savage

Last updated:  31-Jan-2002

For a while, I worked repairing monitors and terminals.  Collected here are some original contributions, but mostly the collections of people with whom I've worked, plus some tips I'd grabbed from Usenet and Anatek.  In particular, I'll thank Wes Hansen here, as he kept an amazing collection of repair notes for many years, and was kind enough to share them with me.

Please don't email me asking for help with your rig; I direct you to the Usenet newsgroup sci.electronics.repair

From Anatek: "EMC is now recommending a chassis modification, to reduce the value of C635 to 10 uF/250V (from 22 uF).  Apparently, the original value of C635 was excessive, and overstressed the circuit, causing the failure of the rectifier, cap, and FET.  Also, D632 is now recommended to be outright replaced, regardless of how it checks, when C635 has failed; the rectifier can be damaged, yet still test fine on a DMM."

  Display is 3" high and centered, or pincushion, or vert not adjust high enough. Problem is on dboard, 1.5"x7" on PS side of mainboard.  For pincushion problems, try replacing:
IC5S2 = XRA10358/LA6358,  8 pin DIP
IC5S3 = XRA10324/LA6324N/LM324, 14 pin DIP

If Q102 PS switcher (2SC2898, replace with 2SC3150 or 2SC2979) is shorted, replace Q101 2N2222A also.  If you don't replace the optoisolator U103 4N35, use a variac to bring up supply AC while monitoring voltage at TP1 or cathode of D102.  Should go up to no more than 8v, then regulate bacheck to about 5v.  If it rises above 8v, check voltage at TP2.  Should step to 23.5 quickly, and not change.  If it drops off suddenly as you're bringing up the AC, replace the optoisolator.

The optoisolator cannot be checked like a diode.

Pin 10 on flyback is normally shorted to 1,4,5,7,8,9

TP1 = 5v, TP2 = 23.5v
 
  Display pulsates in an out Replace U101 L200C WY-8043224
  23.5v pulled down, 5v ok If 23.5v is OK with logic connector pulled, suspect flyback. No. 420007-01 or 80-004-08
  Hori squiggly, ripple or static If all caps check ok, replace flyback
  Display moves left/right with temperature change. Replace C202 10uf 50v first.  If persists, replace Q202 BU806
60 FBT is 420016-01B  
  PS won't fire up Check: R101 330k ohm for open.  Replace with 2W
Check: R118 3.9 ohm 1w near fuse.
  Blown fuse Check: Q101 2SC2979.  If shorted, ALWAYS replace Q102 2N2222 and IC101 4N35 optoisolator at the same time, NOT one at a time.  Do NOT use Motorola 2222A metal cap transistors, as they will not handle the input voltage and will break down, causing the 5v to go to 8v or higher, zapping the logic board portion.
  PS crowbar (squeal, no HV) If HOT Q202 (2SC3591, 2SC2898, BU406) is OK (check out of circuit), C203 .015J 400v blue mylar is shorted, located next to HOT.
  Raster, poor display, brightness won't turn down Check: D105 for open.  Replace with QFR107
  Hori wrap or dim or no display D203 UF4007 or QFR207 or QFR307
  Vert compression/expansion Replace:
IC301 TDA1175
C309, C311 100uf 50v
C211 47uf 160v
C306 22uf 50v
  Other trouble parts C202 1uf 160v
C208 470uf 35v
C209 220uf 50v
C212 10uf 350v
C205 3.3uf 50v NP
R214 220k 1w
  Screen size changes with brightness control If lots of vertical size change, suspect PS 12v+ changing to TDA.  If 12v changes more than .1v with brightness change, replace IC101 4N35 and possibly IC102 TL431CLP.  No fix for hori size change 
  PS 5v+ above 5.3v Try replacing transistor IC102 TL431CL
See "Blown fuse" for note on 2222A.
  Screen shifted left, changes with heat. Replace HOT Q202 with BU406 or 2SC3591 (but NOT 2SC2898?)
  Some pixels missing in the same chars every time Replace U16 AVASEM/9047 192017-02
150 Notes Gray harness is brightness, two wires, goes to mainboard.
Brown harness is contrast, three wires, goes to CRT PCB.
  ? C315 4.7 uf 250v center of mainboard.
  PS won't oscillate Check: C107 mylar .22uf 100v
  PS won't regulate Q102 2SC1213, won't measure shorted but leaks enough to push the 5v way too high, like the Motorola 2N222 problem in model 60.
  Hori. linearity problems, wrap C209 22uf 50v
C201 100uf 50v
Both near coupling transformer.  If you've had the fixed hori width coil out, check polarity.  If backwards, chars will be scrunched on the right side of the display.
  No keyboard I/O Check: R23, R25, R27 47 ohm 1/4w near line drivers
Check: U10 MC1588 or SN75188:
Pin 1 = -12v
Pin 14 = +12v
Pin 2 = Input 5v data pulses (when keyboard operated and you're not in the setup" screen)
Pin 3 = Output +-12v pulses
160 On powerup, second beep is on continuously. 5v too low.  Check: 4N35 optoisolator.
185 Needs its own keyboard; 60 won't work.  
325 Squeals FB shorts and case is frequently bulged. To remove mainboard, CRT must often be removed. HOT connector should have orange wire on top, gray on bottom.
  PM Replace R526 0.47 ohm on CRT PCB with 1.5 ohm 2w, per Wyse FEB 460.
350 Top line of characters are cut off Replace C212 4.7uf 160v
530 PC mono Will not have HV without a signal present (no hori oscillator).
