I am trying to get the tv to a service tech, without moving the entire tv, so i can take out the bad blue picture tube. I need to send it out to be
refurbished.

Sorry to inform you but you can take out the blue tube and install a new one in the home BUT there will be several alighnments that need to
be done to this set after the tube is replaced. You will need a service manual to perform these because of the on screen seervice menu. I have
the service manual and will send you a copy if you want it, but I send it through a proggy called pando because of the size of this service
manual. You can get Pando for free at www.pando.com

If i can do it myself that'll be much better ( don't have any experience fixing tv's though). I wouldn't mind if you send me a copy of the service
manual. You can send it to gunnerz09@yahoo.com, i'll appreciate it.

Larry, I have the same problem that jacktumprime had with my Sony KP-57HW40...(6 blinks associated with 4 clicks). I've been following
the posts and its clear to me that I need to replace the d board. Could you please send me a copy of the service manual.
I also agree with jacktumprime about your helpfullness and professionalism. Anyone else would expect to get paid for the time and advice
that you offer. And yes, I have already downloaded Pando.
Here is my e-mail: leoglenn@tejaslabs.net
Thanks again.

Sure will, a copy should be on its way to you soon and thanks alot for the compliment. let us know how you make out with this repair. Good
Luck

Thanks Larry. I received the manual. However, unlike jacktumprime, I'm going to get a little ambitious and try to repair the d board myself
(instead of just buying a new one). Partly due to financial issues (unfortunately I was just laid off from my job) and partly due to the fact that
I'd like to learn more about electronics and how to better use an OVM. I'm fortunate enough to own a very good OVM that was purchased for
me from a previous job (I was working in the residential construction industry). I'm also fortunate enough to have the time since I'm
currently unemployed.
You mentioned previously to jacktumprime to check C515 & 516 and the jungle IC, IC206. I assume these are located on the d board. Also,
are these voltage regulators or resistors (or neither). In addition, any information on what settings I need to have the OVM set to to check
these parts, and what kind of reading i'm looking for (or possibly a good web-site to verse me on how to properly use an OVM) would be
greatly appreciated.

OVM? You talking about a digital multimeter? A VOM?
leoglenn on March 22, 2007 11:34 AM
Yes, thats what I'm talking about.
leoglenn on March 23, 2007 8:15 AM
Yes, Sorry to show my ignorance. When I refered to OVM, I meant a digital multimeter. Can you give me any advice on what circuits I need
to be testing? You mentioned to jacktumprime to check the C515 & C516 and the jungle IC, IC 206. Are these located on the D board?

Am I asking too much?????

Hello. I just recently aquired a Sony KV-34hs510 . Problem its having is the six blinks when pluging it in the outlet. I've seen the info in
reguards to Checking C515 & 516 and the jungle IC, IC206. Thing is, I took the cover off last night to take a look inside. I decided to plug it in
with the cover off and for some strange reason it started workiing allowing me to watch tv and dvd's all last night. I try to turn it on this
morning and the same original problem comes back with the six blinks. Might anyone have any input on this?

sorry about the delay leoglenn, Using a multimeter is not something I can explain here as there are tons and tons of info on using a
multimeter. You will need to learn what AC and DC circuits are, what resistance is, how to read or look at a resistor and know the value by
the colors on them. This is certainly not somnething you will learn overnight or even in a month or so. I have been in the electronic repair
biz for a long long time and I had to learn how to use all of the tesy equipment myself. Ok forst off, you really cannot get a reliable reading or
a test for a capacitor with a digital meter unless there is a built in ESR meter.

I understand. I've actually done some research and figured out what I needed to know as far as using the multmeter. There was a part on the
D board called the FBT Assy/NX4006 that was fried. This part alone was $70, so I decided just to go ahead and order the entire D board
($140) since I could not be for sure if any other circuits were fried. I'll let you know what happens as soon as I get the new D board in.
I do have one other question regarding the high voltage cables. One of the high voltage cables that went into the FBT Assy was damaged. I
cut the damaged part off, re-stripped it and soldered a generic connector tip that I purchased from Radio Shack. The specifications on the
generic connector are as follows:
