Sony TV Power Supply
Is it really a weakness in the tv? How long did it last before it failed
the first time? It is a critical design and great care must be taken when repairing it in order to have a good solid fix. It does work very well to give a solid picture, little picture size changing as brightness changes. It is not that is is a bad design, but when it goes, it generally takes out several parts, and all need replaced or it will blow again. Not fun from a repair standpoint, but with the proper training and equipment, a solid repair is possible with no problems. If it were my own tv set and the picture still looked good before it failed, I would have no problem putting up to $100 into the tv for repair. Any decent quality tv today of the same size will run $280 or more depending on features. If you are concerned about being without a tv set at all while it gets repaired, pick up a second hand tv set for use, decent 20" tv sets can be had used for $50 or less. Call and find some Sony trained and authorized shops in your area, see what they charge for an estimate when you take it in, should be around $30 for a detailed estimate with total repairs around $90-100 or so for that failure. Any good tech that has repaired several of these should have the equipment and knowledge on the specific things that must be done for a good repair. David "Phil" wrote in message ...
