I know I haven't fixed the problem on the unit.....that's why I'm here
looking for clues. I did
resolder the horizontal drive, & anywhere else a bad connection was
found. Replaced the horiz. drive capacitor, but didn't have the VDR
used in this set. It measured open circuit, &
it SHOULD be ok. I used a variac to slowly ramp up the 120 volt ac
input, pix was perfect, but only 30 secs later...it gently blew all the
parts. They never even got hot, just slightly warm. They were generic
parts from Mat I think. I know some Sony's don't like generic. Would
Sony originals have fixed it? Do you have any tips? Thanks. Dani.
