Brand Model Fault Detailed Problem Solution By
SONYKV1515
No channel tuningUnable to tune channels 2 and 4, found vc drive transistorq101 leaky, unable to bring voltage lower than 9vdc.
SONYKV1207
Jail bars on the screenVery dark jail bar pattern on screen. bars were so dark that they blank picture where they were. found horizontal pulses onthe +12v line at pin 10 of ic301, and discovered leaky c323.
SONYKPR4600
No sound, replaced ic-3010No sound, found switch voltage (4vdc) reading 1.5vdc onic3010.
SONYKP4600
Mis-convergenceExtreme mis-convergence on left and right sides of the screen(for about ten inches).
SONYKX2501
Picture fades out when external audio plugged in, d1206Picture fades out when external audio plugged in. r675 openon ga board, r02 burnt on u1 board, q1343 and r1409 open on bd board.replaced these parts. video would fade out when audio plugged to eitherext. input or multi-connector, measured 8.5 to 9.1 vd
SONYKX2501
Dead, replaced diode on "k" boardEvp-1 ckt operational, shutting down pps. replaced open r675.unit produced raster. hooked up a vtx-1000r. unit smoked and went dead.r675 open again, q1343 open, r02 on u-1 board burned. replaced all parts.unit again functional. however it was found
SONYKX2501
Shut down, replaced q652 on "ga" boardEither horiz. scan comes up and goes immediately to horiz.shutdown or does not come on at all. voltage on q108 relay drive base lowand relay will not activate when transistor completely shorted prior togoing bad would come up and shutdown within 3 secon
SONYKV2649R
Poor picture, adj vhf agcPoor picture on cable busy background.
SONYKV2648R
No picture, replaced q502No picture, high pitch squeal.
SONYKV2648R
No picture, replaced fbt and q502No high voltage. flyback shorted causing horiz. output tofail.
SONYKV2648R
Horizontal bars on the screen, replaced prescaler and tunerHorizontal bars on all channels.
SONYKV2648R
Squeal from power board, replaced t602Squeal from power board. pressing on f board changes pitchof squeal. when pushing on board directly beneath pot squeal stops.
SONYKV2648R
No volume control, leaky q4025The bar pattern would not extend across the screen.
SONYKV2647R
Picture fade after time, resolder on "c" boardVideo would begin to fade after 2 hours. wire to c board-12vdc to outputs had intermittent cold solder connection at trace next toc702, appeared to be thermal problem.
SONYKV2647R
Convergence change in hot condition, replace yokeAfter the set would warm up convergence would change. lowerright corner would start to misconverge and get worse the longer set wason.
SONYKV2145R
Dead, fuse & damper diodeUnit came in with blown dc fuse and a shorted damper diodemounted on the conductor side of board, cathode connected to cathode ofd501 and anode to ground. this is a production mod. and no informationexists as to its type or part number. as it resembles
SONYKV1922
Jail bars on left sideJail bars on left side. servicer had replaced flyback andyoke - no help.
SONYKV1743R
Repair board compatibilityChassis #scc204a-a found change in m-2 board not reflected onprint. r025 exists in series with ic031. which print applies? are thereany other changes? -hq comments: r025 resistor's function is to fine tune rc constant forvc formation from pwm pulses.
SONYKV1541R
Tuning drift, replaced d2007After about 8 hours this set would start drifting on low band.servicer claimed that only ch. 2 and 3 would drift, rest of low band ok.upon further inspection i determined that what was actually occuring wasthat low band channels were switching into high
SONYKV1222R
DeadAll six above sets were dead out of the carton. inspectionrevealed no b+ to receiver. i then noted the leads to r901 were bothbroken right at the terminals of the resistor. throwing out thepossibility of sabotage, it appears that the problem was cause
