That TDK block you looked at in the CRT is a transformer and it likely wasn't bad. Likely the corrosion you found led to trace damage which cut off something important in the vertical deflection circuit. The slow death you witnessed where it had intemittent momentary vertical collapse would further point to a trace corroding away.

I think it's probably an old form of genius. I remember buying products called "Cap'n Crunch Oops!

I don't remember what the "Fun Shapes" product was (it was food of some sort), but I specifically remember thinking after opening the package: "Oh... clearly what happened here is someone at the factory pulled the wrong lever and a person in the marketing department was like: 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'.".

That gunck was not leaked capacitor oil, it was just soldering flux left by the manufacturer, usually it is not conductive and does not prevent it from working. You had to have unsoldered the part, and measured the board contacts without the part, as if it were shorted it would result in a low voltage reading. These CRTs are quite common to have bad contact in the welds due to the heat, you can check this simply by poking things with a piece of plastic or rubber and seeing if anything happens.
Bro I think I can help regarding the TV because I fixed two of these last week , one was a 14 inch TV and the other was a 1980 Sonodyne-Toshiba Colour TV (It was a very expensive TV of that time in India) so here is what was maybe wrong. First thing is to remove the vertical deflection chip entirely and then checking the voltages because the chip is prone to shorting on failing , which causes the voltage to drop , happened exactly in my case. If still the voltage is low , you should see a 25v 1000uf capacitor near the vertical ic , replace that one , and also replace the diode which goes from the transformer to the vertical ic. Now about the transformer , its probably okay , just has some burned traces but in case its dead , most CRT's have very similar boards so you should find one from a board which has near specs as your tv. If everything above fails , you can get CRT replacement boards for around 15-20 dollars ( they come without a RF port so you will need to buy an RF modulator alongside it ) and you can replace the original motherboards with those. If your crt has a thin neck , you need to buy a replacement thin neck board alongside which costs 1-2 dollars and replace it with the fat neck one on your replacement board. I'm definately sure you can make the CRT work again and hope you the best!!
3:53 If you hadn't broken the thing, here are some tips. The transformer may have gone bad but thats unlikely. There probably is a dead mosfet that is driving the transformer, and that dead mosfet looks to be the one on the bottom of the screen. But if the mosfet is fine then the mosfet driver is likely bad and not sending a voltage to the mosfet gate, but if that too is fine then the mosfet driver power supply is likely bad. BUT before all this, you should check if the vertical deflection chip is even operational. If VCC and GND is shorted in the chip, then the supply voltage will drop to like 0.1 to 0.5 volts. Or there are just some bad solder joints. BUT also the transformer probably isn't broken. The mosfet not designed to deal with a huge spike in current may have died and some kind of over current protection on the main PSU might of happened not letting the television turn on.
This was actually really interesting, I'm glad you were able to make a video out of these projects, even if they were fails. I like how you didn't instantly say what went wrong. I was literally making up theories on what could've happened as the video was going, which kept this really interesting and fun to watch. :)
Its great to see someone talk about screw ups in repair. Its comforting. I remember pulling a working dell inspiron gaming computer from the trash that was my ticket to cheap gaming. After extracting it and having it still work, I screwed up at the last moment by plugging in the wrong laptop display to eDP port, apparently stopping it from booting again, rendering it a lost cause even after waiting for capacitors to discharge

After having done a number of repairs that didn't end as expected, it shows honesty and authenticity when you show the good, bad and the ugly. And yeah, that black bezel in pieces that was too short was ugly.
The Mitsubishi TV was not made by a car company though. Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (original parent of Mitsubishi Motors) and Mitsubishi Electric have been separate companies since the post-WWII occupation.
Now so sure, the quality of a channel is dependent on the quality of the videos. If I watch a MattKC video, I know for a fact it'll be good as all of them are. If he stops making only good videos, I lose that confidence. I think it was a good call
Its actually pretty good to leave in errors you made or if the project fails. Bcs other people can learn from it & not make the same mistake you made. Micheal MJD actually preventend a capacitor blowing up bcs other people kept the errors they made in the video's he saw (from like the 8bit guy)
You could probably get replacement guts for the CRT. They're still made in China, since they're popular in south-east Asian countries. That's about all I know, though.
I love electronics but I wouldn't dream of removing or adding anything to the circuit board until I familiarise myself with it first. I would religiously map out the board & all of its components and to test them individually. When I've worked on something, it would be close, back to factory condition
My family used to have a 20-in Emerson flat panel CRT that's the same vertical collapse. Funnily enough, my mother continued to use the TV like that for about 3 months.
wait hang on... am I understanding this entirely wrong, is it just a joke that I don't get it, or did she really keep watching a single horizontal line of TV content for 3 months???????
Matt jokes about how a company that developed Shrek for the original Xbox made transformers for crts, TDK is an electronics manufacturer that even sold cassette tapes and had a subsidiary for game development that went defunct.
I have been there myself. I repaired a monitor. Plugged it in, turned it on. Lifted it up to see the screen working. All good working fine. Placed it back down on the desk… the earth wire to the frame which was off at this stage fell down to the board. It shorted it with a bang and tripped the safety switch on the house. Reset everything and the screen was totally dead.
Failures are the best, 2 days ago I failed fantastically, putting in an IPS screen for my gameboy color, I got everything in and it was working great except the touch sensor, I opened it back up and saw that the ribbon cable for the sensor had snapped. I desoldered the snapped end and when I did that I ended up lifting the solder pad, after searching around I found out that I could fashion a new touch sensor just using some kynar and copper tape and solder it on to a different part of the circuitry. My next course of action was to attempt this fix, as I was testing it before closing the shell up it was a success, but then due to butterfingers I dropped the new touch sensor onto the GBC motherboard and it immediately turned off and now will not turn back on.

4:40 holy shit something similar happened to me, i was trying to repair a monitor and it had a large capacitor on the power supply, which obviously I shorted everytime to not kill myself. While doing some testing i did the some stupid thing, i pressed the power button of the monitor to turn it off, and shorted the cap, but I didn't realize that the power button only cuts the power from the main PCB, not the power supply, so, the next thing i saw was a huge spark, i shorted 220v AC, since the cap just after the power cable. No need to say, i couldn't repair the monitor
I found a 2017 iMac in the garbage with a broken screen. Looked in the CPU socket, had a 7700k in it. RX 570 on board. Made $200+ dollars on the CPU and another 275$ on the logic board, PSU and casing. And luckily it didnt just end up in a landfill. Repairing Apple stuff is weird - even the older stuff in some ways..
Your videos are really relateable as i bought a non-functional keyboard 2008 pre-unibody Macbook Pro for around $95. I also bought a replacement keyboard for $20 and attempted to make the replacement according to ifixit guide. I ended up finshing the replacement but i broke the aluminum pins holding the keyboard top case in place and the brightness and backlight stopped working completely. :(
That's weird, I used to have a CRT I bought at a thrift store for the sole purpose of using it for my NES. It too was made by Mitsubishi and although it had a very bright and clear image for a while, I turned it on one day to see that it had the same vertical line problem. Maybe an issue with the hardware in Mitsubishi TVs from that time?
I've seen this place in the UK near Northampton it's called the retro computer museum and it's basically a place full of old retro game consoles and game consoles and some arcade machines like atari , xbox 360, Nintendo 64 pokemon edition and playstation 1 with all of them having a lot of games and they have 2 player 1 player 4 player games and it's just a generally cool place to look at.
that was the transformer driver for the vertical deflection (or something like that) they almost never fail, it's usually something before them that fail
