Title: Ceronix monitor board horizontal retrace ic
Post by: Labrat on August 22, 2013, 02:22:03 AM
 :104- can the horizontal  retrace ic be swapped between RCA and Chungwa boards. I did try and ended up with a worse picture. Was told most ic were interchangable.

I'd be surprised, bit it's possible. Cross the parts numbers and see if they are the same. If not, they can't be swapped. What is a horizontal retrace  IC? If the retrace lines are on the top, bottom or both then it's vertical output IC problem. If they are on the sides then it's a horizontal output transistor problem. Although a HOT problem would show up as bars or a wavy border on each side of the screen, not retrace lines. Show us a picture of the problem. Retrace lines can be caused by the flyback also. Indicated by a picture that's way to bright at the same time

The company I purchase parts through said that the 2 ic were interchangable !!! Will get picture tomorrow when I start back at the workshop. All this is a bit new to me after being a gaming tech on the road to changing to a bench after 10 years so may have lots f weird questions. I'd all ought today got 6 ceronix boards back running ad 5 RCA .
Thanks or your prompt reply/support.

They may well be, but until you cross reference the part numbers off each you won't know and, like I said, depending on how the lines present you may be dealing with a vertical problem, not horizontal
