Title: SuperBug TV -> Motorola M7000
Post by: vernimark on October 10, 2013, 07:55:29 PM
Hi there,
I have a big problem with my SuperBug monitor. It's simply dead...
I started to control voltages and I can immediately see that I haven't any power greather than 73V. As you can see in the picture 150V is wrong.
I can suppose:
1)HVT doesn't wark at all
2) there is something wrong around HVT

Any idea? Any suggestion?  ???

As suggestion I accept something like "I have something spare for you" also, working or not working (with a different problem obv.)  :lol:

Your LOPT drive transistor (HOT) is not running/switching so you're seeing 73VDC just as DC on all LOPT low voltage windings, maybe?
If you have an oscilloscope, check if the HOT base is switching.

Dear Paul,
if I understood correctly transistor you mentioned  is Q9 (7696).
I couldn't find any source for buying a new 7696. Do you have any info about it? I dunno, equivalents or online shops?
Tomorrow I'll check it by my scope but I think it has gone...

Thank you :)

ok I found it.

7696 -> B2L -> NTE283...

I hope pinout is the same... 7696 datasheet doesn't exist. Or doesn't exist in my local google DB...

It might not be bad, just not being driven by the oscillator circuit, hence the need to verify with a scope. You could also pull it out and test it.
But you might get lucky and it be just a bad HOT.

now I've HV.
after reviewing all Horiz. sequence till the driver I found a broken track! someone changed a capacitor burning the tracks all around. he tried to repair the damage but skipped one connection...


.. now I've another problem :D
vertical amplitude is not stable. I can see 12V are used for this circuit and in fact 12V are not stable just like the amplitude.

12V are generated through 75V with a couple of diodes, including one zener. Probably zener diode is faulty but I hadn't one for spare. Next post :D

Looks a bit like a bad height pot.

Problem solved. 12v zener was faulty. Resto is complete, on few days i ll post all.pics

If i want to record for more than 2 seconds i need someone than help me with camera or play to the game. Or i have to buy glasses with camera inside like thesehttp://m.ebay.com/itm/200996724965?cmd=VIDESC
