4900 gurus, i have one with high voltage fine but i get no video at all when
video plug is plugged into it! capkit done and reflowed all connectors and
flyback solder joints.

any ideas what to look for?

thanks,
Kelly

The video IC might be bad. IIRC the 4900 only has one. Again, the flowchart.
Got raster?

got raster but no video signal! flowchart talks about "no sync" but this is
no video!

and yes, i varified with a known good monitor. i even cut the jumper from
pins 2 and 3, no help!

Hi Kelly,
Try the flowchart here

Good luck
Rick

Do you have heater voltage? Is B+ to high (and putting it into x-ray
protect)? Try replacing the HOT?

Take a look at Randy Fromm's flowcharts...

The video front end is powered by +15 volts off the flyback. Check
Resistor R701 and diode D701. It's possible connector P204 on the
neckboard to have bad solder.

You might have a bad IC301.

Ok...

When you say "got raster" what do you mean by this? Is it a single
collapsed line across the screen? Is it full size such that if you turn up
the fly you can see the retrace lines? Is it working all the way except for
no apparent signal?

correct!! full raster/full screen with retrace lines if turned up and no
apparent signal!

ok... looking at the schematics there isn't a whole lot in the way that
would disable ALL the guns from operating...

most likely it's Q201 or Q202... you also might want to check the connector
going to the neck board, specifically pin 1... if this is gone so is your
signal...
