Default Sony TV, collapsed field

Replaced 0R47 res after I decided to measure the voltage on the res
properly, doh!
TV now works :-)
I wonder why it broke. Could it be linked to our new policy of switching
off at the mains and not leaving it in standby?


I see Sony sets with only a resistor in the supply from the FBT secondary
open often enough with no other issues to not worry about it any more. I
think the resistor is just sized conservatively. I doubt that it has
anything to do with your power configuration. We do see a lot of bad solder
joints on the vertical outputs and that could play a role. Like the HDT, we
always resolder the vertical output when we service a Sony.
