    Request for Opinion on some broke Sony CRTs

    I have the following monitors and they are all broke. I would like an opinion on whether the repair costs would be high or not. They are out of warranty so I would use a monitor repair shop.

    Sony G200 17" FD trinitron - doesnt power up, orange led only. Worked fine then that happened one day.
    Sony 15" Trinitron - screen was getting progressively dimmer now unusable
    Sony 17" Trinitron - was taking many tries to power up each day. Was powering up but not making the strong ping of the display initialising until after the 7th try when it would power up, the display would come up but wavy and then the display would appear ok and it would work fine. Now only gets the green led then a click and the orange led. Nothing else.

    any ideas which one(s) to take. I know it is difficult be give me some idea. Basically they are closing the store room at work so all broke stuff has to be either repaired or dumped.

    The first one... Does the amber LED blink or is it on constantly?

    The second one (15"), check for filament voltage on the CRT. It should be about 5 volts. If filament voltage is present, and the filaments light up, it sounds like the CRT may have bit the dust.

    The last one, sounds like flyback.

    I quit repairing monitors years ago, they're so throw-away today... However, there's always salvation for a good Trinitron!!

      ah no i messed up, the FD trinitron is completely dead. Pity, that was my favourite monitor until I got the samsung 173p. Miss the DVDs on the FD though the sammy doesnt have the speed but it surpasses the FD for static images...hail PVA matrix . Now with sammy 710v's on sale (my new office monitor) not so much reason to resurrect the old stuff. but i could use another one or two lab monitors if it does not cost too much to fix the sonys. I guess the 15" is toast though.

        Sony Trinitron KV32FV27 Suddenly Dimmed
        by cmonkey
        A couple of days ago I finally got my hands on a locally sourced Trinitron and after lugging all 175 LBS home I gave it a good cleaning inside and out. The guy said it had been in a shed for 2 years, but the outside wasn't too bad. The inside was another story and while there was no evidence of mouse, it had certainly been kept in a VERY dirty home.

        I cleaned it to an acceptable level of grime, at least clean enough to where nothing would heat up from the dust insulation. I then tried it out and it worked!

        I'd say I had it on for about 15 minutes or so and then lugged...

        Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) Vertical Deflection Stopped
        by motorahead
        Hi everyone, I've been troubleshooting my 20" Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) CRT after it failed to show a picture. The standby LED is blinking 4 times, which according to the service manual is a failed vertical deflection via the self-diagnostic check during power up.

        After getting the TV checked out by a technician and doing research on my own. The most obvious first step was to replace the IC502. I've done so with an exact NOS replacement with no luck. I've read a few suggestions to make sure the 12V supply to pin 2, but that voltage check would seem misleading? It seems if the...

        Strange CRT Fault (Sony Trinitron M1410U)
        by sickboy
        This is a CRT I sold a few months ago and it's came back with this weird issue. It's intermittent, but not a thermal fault, or tap sensitive - just completely random. The right side of the picture completely blanks out (picture is not shifted). The on screen display is unaffected though, so not a fault in the line section. Anyone seen anything like before in a CRT?
