Sony Repair Guide: Common Issues and Fixes

Brand Model Fault Detailed Problem Solution By
SONYKV1945RS
Picture distortion, replaced ic501, cx-557About the top 10 scan lines were stretch, very hard to detectbut customer complained. vertical output waveform could see ringing,apparently leakage in the ic from horizontal.
SONYKV1921
Shut downUnit shuts dowm erratically. this problem confused theservicer because the original problem was a shorted damper. when ac wasapplied, the unit ran fine up to about 90v ac in then suddenly guit.by using light bulb technique we located q510 breaking down
SONYKV1913
No soundNo sound, momentary raster. found q206 and q205 leaky whichdrags the 135 b+ low (70v).
SONYKV1913
No vhf lowNo low (2-6) channels. could not get high (7-13) band toturn off. found d101 leaky.
SONYKV1910
Faint retrace lines on specific channel onlyFaint retrace lines only on channel 7. this problem appearedonly when the set was turned to cable 7. it was observed that thevertical sync pulse was compressed on this channel. this resulted in5-6 retrace lines appearing at top of screen. linearity w
SONYKV1207
Picture noiseVertical bars across screen, excess ringing off 190v line offlyback. c540 was missing from circuit.
SONYKV1207
No low vhfNo low vhf channels, voltage on q102 remains high regardlessof band switch position. found d059 diode on m4 board leaky.
SONYKV9400
Set would lock on one chCould not change channels. checked the 33 volt line and foundonly 5 volts. traced to a leaky q18 transistor.
SONYKV3000
Intermittent loss of red colorCustomer complained of intermittent loss of red in the color.servicer found bad connection at base of q1344 on the b board.
SONYKV2648R
Shut down, replace ic601 and othersShut down. indicator light comes on momentarily after turnon.
SONYKV2602
Dead, replaced q601, d501, b rect, etcSet dead. no sound, no picture. found defective the follow-ing parts: bridge rect. power module, q601 transistor, d501 zener diode,and 5 amp fuse.
SONYKV1946R
Dead, replace q901 and q602No sound - no picture. found q901 and q602 shorted.
SONYKV1945RS
Shut down, solder splashImmediate shut down after turn on - less than 1/4 second.dealer suspected shut down circuit or power supply but could not evenpower on oscillator. all sweep voltages checked with meter showed 0Ωat 15v line. 15v line on md board shorted to ground.
SONYKV1945R
Picture distortion, replaced hlcComplaint about horiz. linearity specifically when writingtransversed screen. replaced hlc with p/n 1-459-136 (hlc from 1930r).problem resolved. expect inductance of hlc (1-459-316) too low. pleasesupply definite fix - have had 3 complaints to date.
SONYKV1923
Sound distortion, replaced d2006When set was first powered up, volume was maximum and couldnot be lowered. unit was turned off and restarted with no sound now atall. checking output of a/d convertor, tns3701bns, found no pwm signal.measured standby supply voltage, pin 8, with power o
SONYKV1722
Set fails after a few days, replaced r569Intermittently this unit would fail after servicing for astart circuit problem anywhere from one week to two months later. theunit had been in 7 times in the last 6 months. after running for aconsiderable time under a heat lamp the voltage at the colle
SONYKV1207
Poor verticalVc amp leaky. repaired by replacement q101, 2sc1815 withreplacement 2sc1364. unit was ok for 6 weeks, then q101 failed again insame way. replaced and checked circuit. found no reason for failure.perhaps static problem. enclosed you will find the ori
SONYKP5040
Test signal interference, install capCross hatch bleed through on kp-5040. bar pattern when view-ing a weak incoming active channel. this condition sometimes can be moreeasily observed by setting the tv line switch s907 to the line position.in this configuration a faint bar can be seen ru
SONYKP5040
Picture distortion (oscillation), add capOscillation (snivet) down center of screen noticed on set inclose proximity. also had white horizontal lines similar to ignitionnoise.
SONYKP5040
Color distortion, replaced ic3301 and crtRed very weak, unable to set gray scale. bias wrong onpicture tube. changed ic3301 corrected bias, but red picture tube bad,had to change it too.
