Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
Just got a very nice Astro 2 with a nanao ms-2932 inside. After 2 days the screen went blank during a gaming session and has not returned to life after.
When I turn the cab on I hear a double clicking sound and I can hear the game starting but no screen. If I turn the power off I hear another small click after 30 secs or so (end of the video)
The neck does not glow or any static on the screen.
Anyone an idea or come across this before?

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
its going into ocp due to a short on either the vertical or horizontal deflection circuits-
can you see any leakage from the horizontal drive coil,it would be a mass of black tar like substance

It's in the video at around 0:40.grantspain wrote:can you see any leakage from the horizontal drive coil,it would be a mass of black tar like substance
Was it ever resolved if the tar causes actual issues? I have it in my most of my chassis and it hasn't been a problem (yet?).

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
Thanks for the info, I'll have a look later when I get home. I think he chassis can use a clean anyway as there is some real filth on some parts. Worst case it needs a new one but I prefer to fix this.
It's just really annoying that it happened after 2 days no real game time yet and 2 mega disappointed kids. Not sure which is worse

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
the tar substance is the potting agent from the horizontal drive coil,the coil gets too hot for the potting agent and it leaks-if it leaks across the horizontal output transistor and beyond it will short out the components-if it does not touch any components it will not cause a problemnem wrote:It's in the video at around 0:40.grantspain wrote:can you see any leakage from the horizontal drive coil,it would be a mass of black tar like substance

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
So would removing it be enough or do I need to replace anything? I'm looking at replacing the whole chassis but if that's not needed I'd be happy enough to just whip out the soldering iron and minimize the damage.

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
after taking a closer look it seems indeed that the tar is touching some parts, but it seems near impossible to remove.
Any ideas on how to clean this? or is this a lost case.....

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
when i repair these chassis with this leakage I have to remove all components that the potting agent is touching and clean the components and chassis with contact cleaner,replacing any shorted components
not an easy job for a novice

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
indeed, I'll leave it like it is, better swap for a new chassis and see if it still worth to get repaired.grantspain wrote:when i repair these chassis with this leakage I have to remove all components that the potting agent is touching and clean the components and chassis with contact cleaner,replacing any shorted components

Need to get it up and running as soon as possible, getting withdrawal symptoms....

I thought after all was said and done it was concluded that the potting agent is non-conductive? I think the wiki even says so. If not it should be updated.

Just read it and indeed it says that.mufunyo wrote:I thought after all was said and done it was concluded that the potting agent is non-conductive? I think the wiki even says so. If not it should be updated.
Screen just died mid game and hasn't come back to life. Looks like something is shorting or there is a problem with the amount of power coming in.
Unfortunately I have no means to measure the voltage or check anything and be 100% sure.
So atm it's guesswork. Have nothing else then the sound in the video and the picture of the "goop"

This is what I'm thinking, since I have the tar all over (and under) different components.mufunyo wrote:I thought after all was said and done it was concluded that the potting agent is non-conductive?

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
It's just very strange, I read somewhere else that the agent together with epoxy resin over time could turn out to be conductive.nem wrote:This is what I'm thinking, since I have the tar all over (and under) different components.mufunyo wrote:I thought after all was said and done it was concluded that the potting agent is non-conductive?
I just know I had a working screen that died on me making me cry a lot. Especially since I just got the machine 3 days ago...

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
Hi Grantspain,
I Think I've the same issue with MS-2930 chassis. A lot of mass of black are near the Coil and HOT and flyback.
But I've tested the HOT and it's Ok , could it be possible that the BU Q701 (Leaked)?
From your experience regarding your last 5 chassis does the BU was impacted or it still the HOT?
Does we need to replace the Coil? and what is his reference?
Thank you

Re: Nanao ms2931 remains black :(
In my case everything was cleaned and tested thoroughly by princessprinprin but the issue is somewhere in the power circuit.
Still not sure what it is and how to fix. Hope yours is a bit easier....
