The resistance of the CRT heaters should be close to zero, so it should be easy by unplugging to see (a) if they're OK and (b) if the heater winding on the LOPT is OK, just in case you've got a LOPT that needs a link fitting. If these are in order, then just follow the wire, the links and the fusible on the CRT base. There's not much else! My money's on a crack in the print - it's easy to do when removing the big LOPT.

The way I read the OP was that he had power to the CRT board but felt he was losing it from that point on, hence my worry about the heaters. I had a lack of voltage to the heaters on the TX100 yesterday & it was tarnish on the wire-wrapped stake on the CRT board after much head scratching and worrying! Hoping it's something as simple on this set too.

The 163V supply rail that goes to the CRT board does not play any part in lighting the CRT heaters. These are fed from a separate winding on the LOP transformer. As I mentioned before, you won't get any sensible readings if you measure the heater supply with a meter- it's high frequency pulses!

It's possible that there is a broken track near the LOPT (as mentioned by Glyn) or that the pin connections are different on your new transformer.

The fact is though, that the line stage is not happy! If the BUT11 is getting too hot (and then failing) it implies that there is another problem.

First thing I would do is to trace the wiring from the CRT heater winding on the LOPT, right through to the CRT heater pins on the tube base.

Am I correct in assuming all the secondary voltages from the LOPT are OK? Those are the feeds from pins 4,5,6 and 7 of the LOPT. Take readings from the cathodes of the relevant rectifiers. If so, the BUT11 should be running relatively cool and I would expect the heater winding to be producing the correct voltage.
Bear in mind this chassis was designed to use various CRTs, so the manual can be a little hard to follow with the various options.

Hi all

Thanks for the replys, so i got the CRT Heaters back, only with a magnifing glass did i spot that pin 1 of M6 that conmects to Heater Pin 9 of thr Flyback wasnt making making contact with the board, sorted that and the Heaters glow a beaitiful Orange.

Next Problem...
Vertical collapse...thinking it could be the chip itself but im gonna resolder the pins first as they look about ropey, the potentiometer for vertical height is gonna have to be replaced also as its damaged (doesnt turn)

Getting closer to solving this one, thanks everyone for the help so far...any suggestions on the vert collpase

Could be the pot itself if it's fallen to bits or disintegrated in some way. If it is the chip, you also need to change any electrolytics associated with it. Make sure you have a supply to the chip....I think it's 26V.

It was the pot, replaced it and resoldered the vertical IC and vertical is back, Still have Problems though, the colour is all janky, OSD is Blue instead of green like it should be and the picture is kind washed out

also when a Scart is connected, Prog 0 should be AV but its not, just getting snow and I've no sound

Default Re: Help with a Philips Anubis AAC Set

Ok another symptom, it seems when the back cover is placed back on (it pushes the board in ever so slightly) the picture dissappears and then reappears immidiatly after this tension is released, cant see any obvious loose connections to cause it ( Im sure this is how the BUT11 Died the last time) so wont let it run for more than a few seconds while its in this state, anyone any ideas?

Certainly a dry joint or broken track possibly around the line stage.Use a head magnifier to find.

Right. Wrong colours are probably due to impurity - check the degaussing coils are plugged in. Several on/off cycles should sort it, otherwise it's the posistor.
I think the AV probalem is incidental - maybe in the menu, otherwise check the SCART socket print connections.
Intermittent picture will be either difficult or easy, depending on your luck!
I'm unhappy about the 5v rail - is it after the regulator and feeding the micro? Hopefully not, so I suspect another crack or dry joint. Might be time for an involved session with the magnifier and a good light - that may pay off.

The Micro is getting 4.8v, i think its something in the line stage, as per the service manuals suggestion i unplugged connector M5 to see if the fault was in the Power Supply or Line Stage, when the Plug is removed if i still have my +95 (and I do) the Power Supply is fine and the fault is in the line stage, Before I removed that plug i heard teh deflection coils working, when i plugged it back in the deflection coils are doing nothing.

Be very careful re: the 5V rail 4.8 V is too low!
Philips especially from the L6 chassis onwards (Sharp too for that matter) were particularly picky with that rail, 4.8V to 4.9 V caused many and varied problems, they made that rail critical, too critical IMO, 5.1V was about the normal, I thought this was OTT, the Philips L6 in particular a circuit protector/Wickman fuse only had to rise resistance wise by a fraction of an ohm to cause serious problems, no need in my personal opinion for a piece of consumer electronics.

I took this video to show what its doing. here i have the G2 turned up ever so slightly just so i can see something on the screen, this is all i get, the scan coils are back working anyway, but no picture, not sure where to look now

Default Re: Help with a Philips Anubis AAC Set

Think i found the problem.

A hairline crack on the board that goes from the edge down through each track as far as 7015 video sync ic.

I supoose when i put the back cover back on last night and lost picture that was the final nail in the coffin so to speak as it must have taken that hairline crack to the point where it severed the tracks.

I dont suppose anyone has an Anubis AAC Board they would be willing to sell by any chance?

I could try repair the damaged tracks but even then it still probably wont work

Are you sure that AV is not a separate button?

Well, that crack can be repaired as it's not in a 'hot' area of the chassis. Not something I'd have done for a customer, but as it's your set it's worth a go. What do others think?
It obviously depends on your skills in soldering in a small area and your confidence. Care with point-to-point wiring is needed.
