Display panel not working - Sony STR-DN1080

Re: Display panel not working - Sony STR-DN1080

The far left pin has a fracture line. Even if the VFD display soldering looks ok, resolder them anyway.
Then go upstream and check other connections. Like the jumpers, connector pins, even one Kenwood I fixed it was the power transformer pin where the bad connection was for the display filament power loss.
You have to check JR121 might not be soldered on one end.

With no pics of the other end area of the board, hard to nail it.

Those look ok, but what about the ones on the other end of the display?

All sorted now. It did turn out to be the one on the other end. Sorry I forgot to take a photo to post.

Thank you all for your help. Over the moon it now work as it should.

These ones. Just do not solder the legs together when you solder them.

Thanks for sharing that picture! I'm another STR-DN1070 owner, and this helped to solve the problem. (To future onlookers: it makes a lot of sense once you look on the other side of the PCB, as those are all of the display pins.)

Posting as I found this thread while searching for experience with my STR-DH740.

As it turns out, I found 3 cracked solder joints, redid them and my display is now working - thanks!

I should have taken photos but I got excited and forgot. Happy to save myself $600.

Hi, newbie here. I too have this issue and the posts and photos are really helpful, however I’m wondering how easy is it to disassemble to get at the display.
TIA.
