Dead | Unit is dead tech replaced the ic601 and r607 and the flyback, but when power was reapplied the set destroyed the power supply again. | Unit had a blown ic601 and r607. tech had failed to check the condition of the power supply output for the 135 vdc power supply.. it was discovered tsound was a 1.2Ω short to ground caused by a shorted protect diode in the secondary of the power supply. i cannot stress enough the tech needs to check all loads on the secondary of the power supply for shorts, and use a variac to start up all power supplies. all parts replaced earlier are destroyed and need to be replaced | Muller |

Dead | Originally dead with shorted ic601 converter ic and horizontal output transistor shorted too. | Checking the collector of the horizontal output transistor the retrace period was running in excess of 20 microseconds not the traditional 11.5 microseconds. closer inspection found the deflection yoke leads inside the connector were loose and the crimp for the wire to the horizontal winding were not making contact to the terminal inside the connector. | Muller |

Dead | Kv36fv1 serial 9029271. unit is dead. after talking to customer they explained that they had a power surge caused by a car hitting a power pole. | The set was completely dead. vdr602 was noticeably burned up. cutting this device our of the circuit found that it was open. however the device is connected in the circuit like a metal oxide varistor. it should measure open since it is in parallel with the a.c. line. it was discovered that no other shorted components could be found in the primer of the power supply. main line fuse was not blown! checking the raw ac voltage on the ac line filters t601, and t602 find that we have no ac voltage on the output of t602 but present on the input side. isolating the open coil and removing the defective vdr602 allows the set to turn on and operate correctly. tech will need to replace t602 and | Muller |

Dead | Kv35s36 serial 9027801 unit goes dead after 10 minutes after the power supply was repaired.q601 & q602 were not running hot they just shorted. they were replace 4 times. each time the transistors lasted 10 minutes and in 1 case 1 week. | After running the television for over 1 hour with the crt disconnected it was determined the power supply, deflection, and horizontal deflection were all working. it was further decided to replace the crt needs to be replaced. crt fixed the unit. | Muller |

KV32XBR48

Dead | Kv32xbr48. originally dead with shorted ic601 converter ic and horizontal output transistor shorted too. the horizontal drive looked odd, but this was not the problem. | Checking the collector of the horizontal output transistor the retrace period was running in excess of 20 microseconds not the traditional 11.5 microseconds. closed inspection was found the deflection yoke leads inside the connector were loose and the crimp for the wire to the horizontal winding were not making contact to the terminal inside the connector. cleaning the terminal and prepping the connection was necessary because tsound was evidence they were burned by the voltage drop in the poor connection . | Muller |

KV32V40

Dead | Kv32v40 unit was originally dead. q502 was replaced. now set has a sever over scan of horizontal sweep. collector of q512 only 2 volts q512 was shorted. l511 is burned and needs to be changed, along with d504 d503, d502, c511, c513, and l511. | After replacement of the components the sweep was still excessive. when using an oscilloscope on the ic351(31) the e/w pin out we found 6 volts dc, and no 60 hz parabolic wave form. if this e/w output pint was touched to ground through a 270Ω resistor the picture narrowed up to a an almost normal width. product had defective ic351. | Muller |

Dead | Kv32s40 unit will run for several days then it will short the horizontal output transistor and destroy the power supply ic601 | This product was brought into the shop wsound the set was operated with the crt disconnected for approximately 100 hours continuously. it ran fine. but 6 hours after the crt was connected the horizontal output and power supply self destructed again. unit has defective crt suggest the tech replace the crt | Muller |

Dead | Kv32s40 serial 8001469. unit had the power supply ic601 shorted and open r607. tech replaced these components and it shorted out again at the instant the television is plugged in. | I never recommend that after replacing these components in the power supply that the set have full line voltage applied to it. the odds are very high the new components will be instantly. suggested the tech use a variac to do these tests. this power supply should start running at 10 vac as a line power supply. the current should never go above 100 ma during a no load test. max 800 ma during a normal load. when running this power supply at 15 volts the current was surging to over 200 ma. checking al the loads on the secondary found no obvious short circuits. however when checking the capacitors in the primary we found c610 has internal resistance of 470k, tsound should be no internal resistance. replaced c610 and restored normal operation. suggest that c609, c610, c611, and c612 be automatically replaced | Muller |

Convergence | Kv27v22 serial # 8051260 will not converge the bottom red green or blue horizontal lines | Unit has over 6 permaloy magnetic on the crt bell in the area of the bottom of the yoke. this is not a good sign. it is also a rebuilt crt. we are not going to place more permaloy strips on this crt. it needs replacement. | Muller |

Color banding | Sony kv32v15 serial 9013716 aa-2d unit has horizontal banding of purple and red at top of screen. if the color was reduced the banding would disappear. color bar did not have a normal appearance | Resistor r354 was not soldered in correctly. the resistor is in the color afc circuitry. it had a .15 ms ripple on it causing a phase shift in the chroma in the first 4 to 5 inches on the picture. problem was caused by a glue used to secure the surface mounted resistor. the glue prevented a good connection of the resistor to the pad. cleaning the glue away and resoldering corrected the symptom. | Muller |

Chroma | Kv36xbr200 when the customer is using the rf input labeled vhf/uhf the set will picture will lose chroma intermittently. but when using the aux input the chroma is solid and does not vary. the tech replaced the rf switch without effecting the symptom. | The customer is using two different rf power supplys. cable tv and a satellite dish. the catv is being feed into the rf input labeled vhf/μHf and the satellite is fed into the aux input. it appears the tuner does not correct the aft when two different rf power supplys are used. the channel will has to be readdressed again for any aft correction to occur. suggest the customer used the satellite in the s-video and separate video input mode. in his present configuration the customer is loosing all stereo reception, and all high frequency detail over. this corrected the symptom. | Muller |

Chroma | Kv35s36. unit has random chroma phase shifting. the tint will vary radically. ntsc color bars are not stable. ""barber polling"" effect of colors on bars. "" | Suggest the tech look very close to the connection s to ic351(4) this the chroma afdc filter. components r354, c355, c355 are in the afcfil circuit. it is possible the trouble is a jungle ic but before replacing it is recommended to check the aforementioned components first. note: when checking the components it was found that c366 has glue touching each end of the device. the glue effectively replaced the value of the device. cleaning the glue and reinstalling the device corrected the problem. | Muller |

Chroma | Kv35s26 unit has the tint phase shift and color lock up problems only on the hughs satellite receiver. vcr and over air signals have solid color lock up. | This symptom acts like it is a problem with the satellite receiver. inside the satellite receiver tsound is a ntsc encoder which injects the 3.579547 mhz color oscillator signal in the video. if this oscillator is too far off frequency it will not phase lock with the 3.579545 mhz in the television. this is a software problem with the satalite receiver. a software download will be available to all receivers in late | Muller |
