hi guy's .
today is a very black day for me, as my dear old 150 has ceased to be. It still powers up, the fan is running but seems to have no eht. As i was a tv engineer in the dim and distant past i decided to have a look before sending it to the crt graveyard..things seem to be ok,we have ht & no burning smells but the 18 volt supply seems to be missing.
As this rail seems to go here ,there and everywhere i was wondering if any one has seen this before & could point me to a likely culprit. Just the thought i might have to go dlp is terrifying. !!

Sounds like a blown fuse in the power supply. Do you have 18 volts there ?

Hi tom. my thoughts exactly.. Took the main board out (these things are not really what you call service friendly )
Traced through the 18 v rail but everything seems ok,, bloody wickman fuses !!. trying to work out how you can run this & gain access to the underside of the board.
