Art,

Nah, I just follow directions really well... Hunt and peck, search the
internet, make a bunch of mistakes, learn a little bit each time, come back
here and plead for help, try not to get electrocuted, etc.

I'll probably just fix the input jacks since I don't really care about
variable output sound jacks. Maybe if I get bored...

P.S. This thing is HEAVY...

Seems the replacement flyback was bad. No focus voltage from it. I
replaced the flyback with another and now it comes on. I used my scope
to
check for activity on the horizontal and vertical circuits. They were
there
so I have to believe the set wasn't coming up because of incorrect
voltages.

Now, the led flashes several times and the set comes up.

Need better eyes to fix the traces where the board is cracked.
Input/Output
jacks don't work.

Art,

I have power to the heater elements in the crt and the set responds to
the
remote for power on/off. I can hear the HV crackle when it fires up.

I'll look for actitivy on the controller IC lines to see if something
could
be getting pulled to ground and check outputs of the power supply to be
sure
they are within specs.

Thanks!

A specific sequence to the flashes would indicate a specific error
code
(4
flashes, 4 flashes, etc). Constant flashing indicates probable power
supply
or controller failure.

Hi all,

Found this by the side of the road and decided to give it a try.

Ordered a couple Sony TV p/s repair kits and after installing the
first
one,
I got a big fat spark from the flyback and dead components.

Replaced the flyback and p/s components again and now I can hear
the
set
power up however the led flashes constantly.

One other note, the set was dropped at one point and the main pcb
cracked
near the AV input/output jacks. Someone attempted to repair them
once
and
from looking at the schematics, the inputs that were repaired were
unused.

What does the constant flashing indicate and where do I start
looking?
I'm
tempted to remove everything associated with the external jacks.
Will
the
set do this if there is no input signal?

Thanks!

Kirk S.
