padgett Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 After sitting for a month or two I fired the Reatta up and am only getting a part screen .e.g top 1/4 and bottom quarter are missing & screen seems compressed. Sometimes the top will restore but not the bottom. Does it reform the caps eventually or do I need to dig out a spare ? Missing top and bottom Just missing bottom - pops back and forth but no full scream yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogold99 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Looks like time to swap with the spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS_Porter 89 Burgandy Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Looks like a CRT problem but the touch screen is an overlay grid and each touch pad is a programmed location. I suspect the touch functions still work right? The CRT electron beam is swept horizontally rapidly until it reaches the bottom and then jumps to the top to begin another vertical sweep. Looks like a DC component of the vertical sweep out put has failed. Most likely repairable if a schematic was available. A good TV tech could fix it....... oh just find a spare.

padgett Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 If a capacitor problem could just need reforming, got top 1/3 back after 10 minutes, may just let idle some more. Do have untested spare that has been on shelf for 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
