The set received for repair in dead condition. There was no Model number or any other details, nowhere on the set or its inside.
The power LED at its front panel lights up; upon switch it ON, and goes ‘dim’ immediately and shows fluctuations in its intensity.
An “Ish, Ish, Ish” noise is heard form the SMPS side circuit of the set.
No audio thumb, no video or filament of the CRT do not glow.
Checked the voltages out from the SMPS.
All the output voltages were OK; except +B111VDC. It measured at about 81VDC, and is fluctuating.
The Horizontal scan output transistor overheats too.
Clear evidence to damaged LOT [Line Output Transformer].
De-soldered out the horizontal output transistor, and checked it with multi-meter set to Meg-Ohms range.
No abnormal measurements detected.
Un-soldered out the LOT.
There was no number sticker on it.
Without its number, it will be difficult to get from the electronic spare part market.
I called the party, and asked them to buy it from anywhere.
He has bought one.
The number of the new LOT he bought is [TF-0107-OU BSC 24-01-40] Might be a Chinese make.
Not sure; whether it is the original number or not. I’ve attached the photo of both the LOTs here.

Replaced the LOT and HOT [Line Output Transformer & Horizontal Output Transistor]
Checked all the other components by following its schematic. The main board to this TV is shown here. As there is no model number, that I can see anywhere in the set, I did follow a schematic using the main system control chroma jungle IC TDA9370PS; as in this main board too used the same.
No other problems detected.
Connected to AC mains; and switched it ON.
There is no raster at all; but the CRT filament is glowing.
Checked the +B voltage; once again. OK. 111.5VDC.
As the LOT is a new one, the screen volt pot-meter of it was set to extreme left [Minimum].
Advanced the pot-meter, till the raster came up.
Kept it at this condition for about 10 minutes.
Switched it OFF; unplugged it from AC mains socket, touched the heat sinks of both SMPS drive transistor and the Horizontal Scan Output transistor.
The heat at HOT heat-sink was normal; but it was abnormal at SMPS drive transistor.
A slight overheat felt to my fingers. At the same time, when I switched it ON; a very feeble high-frequency noise was there coming from the SMPS transformer. It shouldn't be so. Must be so silent. I did suspected the windings inside this transformer for a while, but it was not.
When I touched the +B voltage smoothing capacitor, 100MFD160VDC, it was too hot. It shouldn't be so. Must be cool.
I de-soldered it out from the circuit board, and tested it for capacitance. Shows only 30MFD. Checked its electrolyte leakage resistance. Shows only 135Ohms. This capacitor is damaged. We can say it to be leaky. Just see, there was no bulging on this capacitor; yet it is damaged.
Replaced the capacitor with a new one of same capacitance.
Switched ON the set, and tuned in to an on-air program; after connecting it to external antenna.
Auto-tune function is OK. Tuning memory lock is OK.
But; some color patches are at the screen.
Replaced the de-gassing posistor; as it might be the possible reason. Yes. It was.
Checked the set. OK.

PICTURE - AFTER REPAIR
The party has lost its original remote control and thay have bought an other one. It works fine with this Tv. I’ve attached its photo here.
It’s a TUSCAN VSA 3-IN-1. It can be used with 3 brands of TVs. Videocon, Sansui &Akai.
You can select the brand of your TV. There is 3 separate selector buttons are there at this remote control [at the bottom right side of it].
Just see it.
