Date: December 19, 2001
Need replacement of the 46 or 53-inch Lenticular Screen, which is No Longer Available. Description Lenticular Screen Lenticular Screen Lenticular Screen Lenticular Screen Lenticular Screen Lenticular Screen Part Number 4-036-466-01 4-036-466-02 4-036-466-11 4-037-360-01 4-037-360-11 4-064-343-01

Solution: Note:

Both the Fresnel and Lenticular Screens will need to be replaced with current parts listed below. Because the Lenticular screen is No Longer Available you can not change the one screen with the new type. Both screens must be replaced with the parts in the table or the picture quality will not be acceptable.

Subject: CRT Replacement Symptom: (161X)

Date: August 21, 2001

Ground of replacement CRT may be different than the original. Heater resistor value change may be required.

Solution:

When replacing the CRT the following changes may be necessary.
When replacing the CRT the original may have used a braided wire across the CRT to ground the CRT and CRT Board. The replacement CRT uses a grounding wire that connects to a ground lug. This grounding lug wire should be packed in the replacement CRT box. See picture below.
See note on last page Ground wire P/N 1-900-235-84

Heater resistor value change.
When the CRT is replaced it is required to check the heater resistor value. This resistor value will change depending on how many newer CRTs are used. It should be checked even if you are only changing one CRT because one might have been replaced prior to your present repair. Failure to do so may cause the CRT life span to be shortened. In order to determine if the CRT heater resistor is the older value or not, check the color of the CRT plastic pin base stem. (See Fig 1) Black stem indicates an older CRT and the value of the heater resistor was not changed. White stem indicates a newer CRT and the value of the heater resistor may require a different value. 3.
Procedure for replacing the heater resistor.
1. After replacing the defective CRT, check the color of the CRT plastic pin base stem of all three CRTs. (See Fig 1) 2. The value of the heater resistor, on the E or G Board depending on the model, will be determined by how many of the CRTs have a white stem base. Refer to the chart below. 3. Check the heater resistor value in the set and confirm if it is the correct value as per the chart below. If not please replace the resistor with the correct value.
Replace resistors for the heater circuit with the correct value resistors specified by the number of the new heater CRTs as shown in the following chart. Part Number Chart Description

Note: As of 4/24/01, PJ CRT will begin the use of colored stem caps in their process. The color of the stem cap will match the color of the CRT.
They will begin with red and green. White will continue to be used on the blue tubes until the supply is exhausted, at which time they will begin the use of blue stem caps also, we expect this to be sometime in June 2001. Please see picture below. There has been no material change, only a dye added for color. Engineering analysis of dimensions, arc testing, flame testing, and pin cap adhesion show no change in performance from our current stem cap. Please note, that depending upon shipments, you may continue to see white stem caps only for some time.
