I have come to the conclusion that I need help. My son went down stairs christmas morning to play his new game and couldn't get it to come on. No picture on the screen. Turns out it turns on just no picture. No fail lights. Projector appears to power up and make normal static snap crackle pop sounds. Internal patterns do not work. When I raise and lower the contrast I hear a change in sound in one of the boards on the back swing down panel. Have tried swapping every board and both power supply.

Measure the G2 leads to see if the HV shuts down after it comes up. The G2 should be between 500 and 800 volts per lead on each tube. That will tell you if the HV is staying up.

Hi,

Have You verified that the filament voltage is present -that is- if the tube necks show the orangeish glowing?

Do what curt says, if you have no HV you might have bad neck board. You said you changed out all boards so I assume you did the Vim? But I bet not the VNB's since they are harder to do a quick swap. If so then remove one at a time the black umbilical cords going to each tubes VNB and start up. Reconnect as you move on to the next VNB. It will fire up the when the bad VNB is removed, the spotkil circuit might have kicked in.

the tubes do not glow. and going off the sound it makes i would say the HV is not staying up but i will check the G2 and vnb as soon as i get a chance.

If you have HV, your CLM may be suspect, but if you changed it then this post might be worthless to you. Normally I find if the machine is operating normally with no error lights and you have HV but no picture, its normally the CLM. You will know more after checking the G2 and the neck boards. Not sure where you are in eastern Ohio, but I am in the northern Akron area if you need a hand. Good luck!

You pulled it off the tube pin? BAD MOVE! You may have spot burned the tube at turnoff!

If you pulled the G2 lead off the CRT neck board going to the HVPS, then you're OK.
