SONY KE-42M1 Plasma problem
Hi I working on Sony KE-42M1 plasma tv.When tv is on the picture did not
appear but after 2-3 seconds the symphtoms looks like picture wash out the screen from black to real picture but still picture looks pretty dark(don't see any colors).If I send 7 bar colors signal all of them is black.I changed the BP board which is make the video but problem still exist.My thoughts that it could be Y-board because the power supply is ok(checked all voltages output)or screen itself.Is anybody had the similar problem with this model?Any help will be appreciate.Thank you |

SONY KE-42M1 Plasma problem
The only way to fix these TV's is by board swapping. Component level
service is not supported. Refer to the service manual for any necessary setups that may be required after board swaps.

I've heard quite a few reports right here in this group of people doing component level service on flat panel sets. |

do it. I've heard quite a few reports right here in this group of people doing component level service on flat panel sets. Bang on ! I may take 15 days to fix an lcd or plasma but i'm doing it component level. Some of the faults i've seen: 100k chip resistors that measure 100 k with a meter but measure lower in circuit when powered up causing SOS ...power trip. Broken track from one controller going to another , that too mid layer in the pcb. Dry electolytics , thats a normal one. Busted MOSFETS Defective panel blowing precious panel driver ics and a hole in my wallet Bad optocouplers in PS etc ...... I love the fact that most authorised service centres are strictly prohibitted from carrying out chip level repairs. Gives us a competitive edge. Better pricing and quicker delivery. They have to wait 6 weeks for those boards. |

I enjoy servicing equipment, but I don't have quite that much patience. |

We're a Sony SES warranty center, and they really get those things out fast. 2nd day air is standard shipping, but since we're only about 200 miles from Kansas City we still usually get them the next day, at no charge for freight. Out-of warranty repairs will be a problem down the road however. The rush-rush nature of warranty repairs means we wouldn't have time for component-level troubleshooting of plasma or lcd in most cases. We're required to get those things done fast. Even extended warranty companies are really pressing us on the time issues. Sometimes it is necessary to order all the boards and return the ones that didn't fix it. Panels take longer though, since they come by freight carrier and not DHL or UPS. Still mostly component level for audio repairs however... Mark Z. |

Mark Z. usually in plasmas I do the same swapping the boards.this is actually the fastest way to fix but what happen if I bought the board paid money but this is the wrong board because the tv doing the same?thats headache and waste of time for me and for client.Anyways is anybody seen the same problem in sony like mine?thanks |
