Re: MS-2930 black screen
An update:
After reflow soldering, i had picture on 15khz but bad, i could see retrace lines and poor colors, but nothing on 31 khz.
I decided to clean the "black goop of death", so i take off the flyback and resolder it, no change... This morning i switch on the blast and no picture even on 15khz, i only see retrace lines.
Someone can help me?

Re: MS-2930 black screen
did you check the solder on the crt socket, ms2930 are well known for getting bad solder joints on the socket

Re: MS-2930 black screen
I have this chassis now, Crt socket was already reflowed, when I turn on and I have a big sparkle on the primary, if I put off fuse f701, I don't have sparkle.
Strange thing, i don't see retrace lines like Astrosega.

Some update : I heard big sparkles on the screen, exactly like that:

I think i will give up, i don't want to kill my tube, i will send back the chassis to Astrosega if nobody has tips about it. Do you know where i can find the service manual?

Re: MS-2930 black screen
Update of the day, after cleaning all the black glue, i have finally a picture!
With 15khz pcb / 15khz on the remote : screen is clearer on top so i can see retrace lines, when i reverse horizontal from the yoke, i reverse also the issue.
With 15khz pcb / 15khz on the remote : picture with normal sync issue
With 31khz pcb / 15khz on the remote : picture with normal sync issue
With 31khz pcb / 31khz on the remote : Black screen, i can see retrace lines if i increase bright pots but when i switch off power supply, i can see picture few millisecond!
