Sony KV36XBR400 intermittent HV.
This set came in with a complaint of no picture. The first time I
tried it except for being in need of a slight Hor. stat and focus adjustment it came right on. The next time I tried it it had filament but no HV. Brfore I pull the D board out, does anyone have any thoughts on this repair? Thanks, Lenny. |

Sony KV36XBR400 intermittent HV.
About a half dozen possibilities come to mind. The first would be IC8002,
IIRC, the MCZ3001 regulator controller. Also, there are a couple of resistors and caps that open up that can be problems, bad FBT, drifting in the HV protect circuit, 9v regulator with bad solder joints, etc. Do you subscribe to any tips databases or online forums for repair help? Have you even just googled the problem? I strongly suggest you join a group like TechAssist or NESDANET or TechData, and get a tips program like WinsTips. For as little as $50 a year you can have access to lots more information without having to have someone else look it up for you. Leonard wrote in message ...

Thanks, Lenny.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I did Google the problem and found that the symptoms I read were somewhat different than mine. This repair sounds like it could be involved and as you said without training on this chassis this may be a job for PTS. Do you feel that the problem is probably confined to the D board though?

Lenny.. More than likely, yes. But you need to be more familiar with the circuit anyway to be sure. I would definitely repair it rather than pay PTS to fix it. Once you get to know the sony design of this set you can easily fix lots of other models. If I was working on it I would download the service manual and training info, along with numerous tips on the model from one of the sites I listed earlier, then look for help from one of the many other techs who suscribe to those services and who have lots of experience on similar sets. Just having access to the tips, archives, and file libraries usually results in a fix. Once you do the research and can't figure it out, there are lots of very helpful techs that are willing to help. Much more serious discussion of repairs goes on on those forums and listserves than here. Lots of techs do not want to post in public forums like this and don't want the hassle of all the carping and novices. Leonard |
