Apparently VERY common conversion blah blah power supply problem with older
Sony Rear Projection TVs. Where can I get the part and how easy is it to put
in? The repair shop quoted $250-$350 cdn, but I'm an electrician and would
like to know if I can do it myself.

Whats the Model Number ?
What is the part you think is gone ?
Tell us more.

Also, do you have the necessary training to do the registration adjustments
once you have it up and running again?? Question, you being an electrician,
will you allow a computer or tele technician to wire your home, or
business?? That is unless they have proved they are totally competent in
doing so??
IMHO!! You get paid for the abilities for which you have been trained and
show competency and experience in doing it correctly. Why don't you have the
same respect for those who do the repairs on these infernal Consumer
Electronic Products? The price quoted is moderately fair for the repairs on
your product.

It is not exactly a matter of putting in x,y and/or z part in a Sony
SMPS. After the obvious failed parts are replaced, certain steps MUST
be performed analyzing the regulation and waveforms of the power
supply to ensure that it will not blow up again. Then there is the
good possibility of other failures in the set that could have caused
the power supply problem.

If you have experience repairing switch mode power supplies to the
component level and all the required equipment, then you can have a go
at it, otherwise best left to a trained technician.

Art, you are exactly right. This is why I ask prior to proceeding. I was
hoping it was a simple procedure and
could save a few dollars. Thanx for the response guys!

Thanks Gov!! Did not want to seem harsh but in the decades of playing with
this garbge I have seen too many FUBARS becase of impatience, ignorance, and
outright stubborness. My addage is let the shoemaker mend the shoes and the
doctor tell him why his hands hurt. Have a pint of Labatts Blue and relax,
Eh.
