Hi folks,
Although most Neon and Cello problems are corrupted Eeproms, have had a few where the PS was a bit suspect.
Had one in today in a C3298DVB where the 24v dual shottky was S/C on one side - Thought a doddle, so replaced it and the 24v output was about 8v, with or without the inverter plug connected. Noticed a smell where a SM power transistor on the underside was getting hot enough to melt isolation plastic.
Wonder if anyone is clued on it, as seems a decent enough PS where caps don't yet seem to bulge ?
Have a shematic from an RCA set - Attached, but no component list - Chris.
