STANDBY LED FLASHING AND SERVICE MODE 

SELF DIAGNOSIS 

If an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will automatically begin to flash. The number of times the LED flashes translates to a probable source of the problem. A definition of the STANDBY LED flash indicators is listed in the instruction manual for the user’s knowledge and reference. If an error symptom cannot be reproduced, the remote commander can be used to review the failure occurrence data stored in memory to reveal past problems and how often these problems occur.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATORS
When an error occurs, the STANDBY LED will flash a set number of times to indicate the possible cause of the problem. If there is more than one error, the LED will identify the first of the problem areas. Result for all of the following diagnostic items are displayed on screen. If the screen displays a “0”, no error has occurred .

SONY TV REPAIRING TIPS

SONY KV32S40

PROBLEM

A.C Hum

KV32S40 serial 9028282 that has a low level audio hum in the video input or tuner mode. Looked in the FPR on web site but could fine nothing on the subject. The hum is at 60 Hertz.

SOLUTION

The hum is a result of magnetic flux from the vertical deflection yoke. The 60 hz is radiating into the low level audio circuits through inductive pick up from lead dress and ground loops. To minimize these Remove JW086 and JW1007.Add 22AWG wire from JW270 to ground side of R477. This wire should be on the top side of the A-board and routed to following the audio signal lines from IC1401

SONY KV32V25

PROBLEM

VERTICAL

Unit has an arcing inside the flyback transformer. Replaced the transformer the unit has a bright band at the top of the screen. Replaced the jungle "IC without effecting the symptom.

SOLUTION 

Its noticed the +15 volt source was lower than expected. It was only 10 volts. It is not unusual. The voltage is normally 12 volts. What missing is the -15. This voltage must be there in order for the set to have any vertical sweep. D530 was shorted and open R536 the 0.47 ohm current
