2.3 Vertical & horizontal processor 2.3.1 Vertical guard: This vertical feedback signal on pin2 when the level on pin 2 is below 0.35v or high than 1.85v the guide circuit inserts a continuous level of 2.5V in the sandcastle output signal of pin 17.The results in the blanking of the picture displayed, thus preventing a burnt-in horizontal line.
2.3.2 Vertical drive output: The drive o/p pin1 of U401 delivers a drive current of 1.5mA at 5V output through R302 to U402 pin1.
2.3.3 Sync separator: The video input through C401, R401 and filter C402 to pin 5 of U401.The Sync separator is designed such that the slicing level is independent of the amplitude of the Sync pulse. The
8 black level is stored at pin7 by C404. The slicing level is stored at pin6 by C403 and decided by R403.
2.3.4 Phase detector: The phase detector circuit is connected to pin8. The circuits are activated depending on the voltage of pin18 and the state of the Sync pulse noise detection circuit, C405, C406, R405.
2.3.5 Supply (pin9, 10 and 16): U401 can start operating by application of a very low supply current into pin16. When the starting circuit is taken from pin10 via internal diode, and the voltage on pin16 will stabilize to a typical value of 9.4V
2.3.6 Horizontal oscillator, horizontal output transistor, and second phase detector (pin11, 12, 14 and15): The oscillator is connected to pin15. An external RC; C409, R412, VR401; sets the frequency combination between pin15 and ground. The open collect horizontal output is connected to pin11. The duty factor is set by an internal npn emitter follower stage connected to pin14. When no flyback pulse is detected at pin12 the duty factor of the horizontal output stage is set to 50%.
2.3.7 Mute output and 50/60HZ identification (pin13):
Pin13 has the possibility for 50/60HZ identification. A pull-high resistor R408 achieves the function.
2.3.8 Sandcastle output (pin17):
The sandcastle output pulse generated at pin17.
2.4 Vertical Deflection Block
• Power amplifier：
‧ The DC level across C308 and the current is detected by R306 and feedback to U401 through R311.
‧ The driver output comes from pin5 and it drives the yoke by a negatives slope current ramp R419 is used to stabilize the power amplifier.
‧ Boost power D301, C305 is connected to pin3. 9 • Flyback generator：
‧ U301 pin6 is the output of the flyback generator that when driven, jumps from low to high condition C305 transfers the jump to pin3
• Vertical size control：VR301, R312, R308.
2.5 Horizontal Deflection Block
• Horizontal drive buffering：Driving source-U401 pin11. Driving transistor-Q40, to pull high the
driving waveform to drive the Q401(MOS FET).
• Horizontal deflection：Horizontal Output transistor-Q401; Load-Yoke inductance and C414 ;

3 Troubleshooting Instructions
‧ This chapter describes possible failures of the monitor with corresponding check/correction actions, and guidelines for safe operation and service of the monitor.
3.1 No Display, No Power
3.1.1 First of all, turn power off, use multimeter to check Q901, and R904, replace if bad. Turn power on after that.
3.1.2 Check DC voltage across C906. If no voltage or voltage too low, check and fix the following
components：AC receptacle poor contact, fuse F601 broken, power switch malfunction, or
bridge diode D901 bad
3.1.3 Check voltage on U901 pin 7 for start up condition：If voltage on U901 pin 7 reaches the start
up voltage(around 15 to 17.5V), U901 UC3842 will start to work and output 5V at pin 8. If
voltage on U601 pin 7 is too low, check and fix following circuits：start up circuit R914,
and C914.
3.1.4 If no output pulses at U901 pin 6, check and replace U901. 10 3.1.5 If driving pulses at U901 pin6 and drain of Q901 are correct but voltage at U901 pin 7 low than threshold voltage --causing U901 to stop and restart periodically, check and repair following circuits. Power transformer T901 bad; D903 short-circuit/opened.
3.2 No Display, power output normal.
3.2.1 Check and fix FBT B+：If no B+（27.5V）on pin2 of FBT replace D906, C916.
3.2.2 Check driving output voltage：0 or very low check and replace Q402, Q401.
3.2.3 Power off monitor. Check yoke connection. Use multimeter to check D501, D502, D401, Fix if any is bad.
3.2.4 Power on, check voltage at pin10 of U401 if no voltage, check and fix Vertical circuit B+, D904.
3.3 No Display (No Raster).

3.3.3 Check G2 voltage if fail, check and fix FBT or D502.
3.3.4 Check K (cathode) voltage at negative of D501 about 150V, If no voltage output Check and replace D501 and C501.
3.4 Vertical Deflection Failure
3.4.1 Vertical display can't be held--check and fix：U401.
3.4.2 Vertical raster abnormal (one horizontal line, size too small or fold back on top / bottom) --
check and fix：14V supply at U402 pin2, if has voltage check and fix U301.
