8) G2/diagnostic board:

 

This board has a row of lights on the edge of the board, telling you the status of most of the power supplies in the set. This board also generates the convergence voltages to power the convergence board, and the gray block on the top of the board takes 12,000 volts from the quadrupler and drops it down to about 1000 volts for the G2 (master brightness) voltage to power each CRT.  The master brightness (G2 adjustments) are on this board behind the gray G2 block. In BG 808s sets that use Sony tubes, this block also feeds the 5Kv focus voltage to the tubes (not used in the other 808 models.)

As per the pictures, the G2/diagnostic board has a row of green LEDs on it along with one red LED, and an additional separate green LED. The green LEDs all grouped together monitor the main SMPS, and each LED represents one voltage. All of the green LEDs should be on when the set is turned on. One of those LEDs does not come on until the set goes through a full diagnostic check, about 5 seconds after power is turned on.

The single green LED away from the rest is to indicate a working convergence power supply, which is located on the G2/diagnostic board. If this green LED is not lit, the set should fire up and show a picture, but the convergence and geometry controls will have no effect.

There are 4 fuses on this board. Three are soldered in place, the 4th is in the black plastic cylinder. Replace with the same value fuse, if they continue to blow, the board or something in the set has failed.

The G2 adjustments are the individual master brightness controls for each tube. Mis-adjustment here will cause a dim or washed out image. Please refer to the service manual for the proper settings of these controls.
