I just serviced my short tube 29" Mitsubishi TV which seems to blow its Vert drive IC on a
yearly basis.  I might put a SIP socket in there for the IC and some sockets for the
caps!!!!!!!  The traces are getting kinda ugly underneath, heheh.

This was actually a major problem with Mitsubishi TVs of this model, but it has great
picture, and a nice fairly flat tube (for its year as well, (1992).  I changed the caps
(which were giving weird retrace lines because they were leaking, and actually, this
caused the Vert drive IC to blow.  I changed the IC once, and the lines were still there,
I heated the caps with a hair dryer and the lines went away, then when I sprayed the caps
with FREEZE IT, bang, no more Vert .  The cap must have shorted at that point, caused
excessive current draw on a series dropping resistor and well, after all was changed,
voila, working TV again.

I hate fixing TVs.  bleah.  hehe, forgot to discharge the tube while removing the flyback
wire, ummmm, instant hair style, happened so fast I didn’t have time to yell or anything.
I didn’t even really feel much, just stunned!!
