Hello again = Good to see you making some progress! It looks like you still have a problem in the PSU. I wonder if there is a protection circuit being activated, (perhaps Martin can tell us - also, I'll look myself when I get a moment). Meanwhile, try prodding around the board to see if you can localise the fault - sometimes it starts up again,

Hi = My Guru, BJ 'Baz' Hunter, has passed on the following info: B+O introduced a mod for the Lx2502 concerning field collapse. It is: If the Vertical Output chip has to be replaced (TDA2170 no longer available), replace with TDA8172 and Adaptor PCB and change 4R78 to 3.3k and 4R85 to 0R56 = Brian (N)

More to think about = If it does turn out to be loss of field scan, the next test is to check for 24 volts between pins 4 and 10 of IC2 (the vertical output chip). If the 24 volts is missing, you would need to check the supply circuit which comes off the LOPT at pins 12 and 4 - two diodes (D39 and D40), two safety resistors (R74 and R75) and the two

Yes, as Onyx has indicated - turn the lower of the two pots (not the Focus one) clockwise little by little - if it is loss of vertical drive, you will see a bright line across centre of screen, but first mark the position of the pot so you can put it back! I am assuming that you can recognise the LIne Output Transformer, as this is what we refer to

The white flash you get at switch off - does it look like a line across the screen centre the split second you see it? If so, it's probably field collapse ie no vertical scan (I'm assuming this set is a CRT type - will have a look when I get a minute) = Brian (Northumberland)

Re testing the capacitor - you may be measuring the resistance (ohms) of another part of the circuit! Unsolder one leg of the cap, then test it. If you can get hold of an ESR meter, you can test all the electrolytics in circuit (no power on and caps discharged). Note also, that a meter which just measures the value (capacitance in microfarads etc) of

More tests = Can you read the cct diagram? If so, try isolating the sections of PSU until the fuse stops blowing - this way you will narrow the fault down to one section. For example: on module 16 dis pin 3 of IC2 also TR4 - if the fuse still blows, the fault is in that cct! Try this with other sections until you have isolated the faulty one. Thanks

When you unsoldered those caps did you try switching on to see if the fuse was still blowing? = Brian (Northumberland)

Hello u guys = can anyone there fix the pdf for the BM6000 Service and Tech Manuals? Peter, perhaps? Cheers = Brian (Northumberland)

Hi = I cam't get a look at the Service Manual for the 6000 'cause the PDF is faulted - but have you checked the power transformer also the bridge rectifiers? (I'm assuming the 6000 is similar to the 5000 PSU-wise) = Brian (Northumberland)
