Smearing out of one or several colors, best seen in txt-mode, my 27CE4599/30R smeared out in red and green, not in blue, fully exchanging the drivers (input and output complete, otherwise the RGB driver will blank the crt) moved the fault to the other color
Replace the 180K feedback resistors in the amplifiers with normal 1/4W metal film instead of 1/8W, they can become open circuited (in mine both green and red were faulty in this way).

E/W fault
Coil L603 (part num RCILP0286BMZZ) had severely burnt up and Q506 E/W driver 2SD2391 (Part num RH-TX0151BMZZ) was short circuit. If you have this fault check L604
for invisible dry joints, if you don't you may find you still have an E/W fault when you have replaced the faulty parts (Regards - LB) Goldstar TV Model: CIT-9322

At switch on the Led Blinks 3 times, supply tries to come up with a Tick-Tick sound. After trying 4 times to come up it goes to error standby with Led blinking very fast. Error code 3
Make sure primary side of power supply is ok by desoldering jumper JL26, connect Pin 3 of IL01 (protection) to pin 4 ground. Bypass DP127. Put 100W/230V lamp on usys. Turn on the set the lamp should glow and pot PP120 should regulate it. I found CL007, CL015 and TL003 shorted (Navneet) Grundig Video Model: GV400 / GV440
