Title: Remote Board is going bad I think .
Post by: Hyderyoda on December 27, 2014, 03:04:52 pm
Ok I got a Simpsons a few weeks ago but its hard to get it bright  enough to play with out a washing out the screen . If I play with the remote board it moves around and can make the screen dark . Remote Board is a " 8264p-001 ". Need help do you thinks its the remote Board or the fly back ? Where can I get a new remote board from ?

It would be quite a waste to just buy a new remote board since they are nothing more than a bunch of pots. Most likely the cable/connector is bad.

Do a cap kit first, maybe find someone with a rejuver and try that first. you should always be able to turn up the brightness enough to blow out the color. if the color is blowing out before the tube gets too bright then a rejuv is going to need to happen.
