Try checking the power supply capacitors, will be hi voltage, about 165VDC.
BE CAREFUL If that don't work check vertical side capacitors. You will be
checking for microfarad value. The part will be blue or gray in color, and
about an
inch tall. If you do the work yourself it will be about 10 to 12 dollars. If
you take it to a shop it will be anywhere from
150 to 250 dollars. But it could be the flyback, what the 160v source
drives. The flyback runs allot, including the hi
voltage to the picture tube and what not. Ask more if you need. The vertical
side is usually on the right looking from back.
The flyback is on the right back w/a thicker red wire coming out of it,
looking from the back. Donald

I have a 27" Sony Trinitron TV, model KV-27S15. It is 10 years old. It's
been a great TV until it broke. :-) (I love the dark picture tube.)

For about a minute before it died, the picture squeezed in from the right
a
couple of inches. After that the TV just shut off and it won't give any
signs of life now.

I found a description of this problem on this newsgroup's FAQ on the web
(which is how I found this newsgroup), but I'm afraid that the description
of the problem is all Greek to me.

I'd like to repair the TV if it is not too expensive (otherwise I might
buy
a new, larger TV :-)
Is this repairable and how much might it cost?

Thanks.
