    Sony KV-4000 Troubleshooting Questions

    I just acquired a KV-4000 that needs attention in the following 2 areas. Any assistance that you can provide is very much appreciated - thanks in advance.

    I am getting dark horizontal banding wherever there is a light area on the screen - for example, if there is a line of 1/2" white text on a light blue background in the center of the screen, then the whole 1/2" horizontal area will be a darker blue band there - the text is not smearing, and it is razor sharp. When watching a DVD through the video input, there will be numerous occurrences on the screen as the scene changes. I am not using the built in tuner, I am only using the monitor inputs. Not sure what this is, but adjusting brightness and contrast do not affect it.


    There are markings for horizontal centering and vertical centering on the board, but I do not see any adjustments on either side of the board - no VR pots, no switches, no plug in pin - the horizontal centering is way off to the left. How would I adjust this?

      Sony XR-55A80J OLED TV 5 blinks - Troubleshooting steps
      by jason123
      Hi there,
      I see a couple of posts related to the troubleshooting of similar TV. The one I have is acting slightly differently and I'd love your help.

      So it has the 5 blinks. Previous owner got a TCON, no luck. Got a new Main board (though he didn't do the USB firmware update), again, no improvements.

      I see 2 posts that are relevant:

      ViewSonic Pf815 (branded as P225f) Horizontal Deflection Issues - Running out of Ideas
      by rstrube
      Note: apologies I initially posted this request for help in the wrong forum! I am reposting it here and will take down the original posting.

      Hi Everyone,

      I've been working on repairing this beautiful CRT monitor off and on for the past several months and I'm really at a loss for what might be causing the problem.

      Unlike other common Horizontal Deflection issues which result in a steady vertical line, when I turn the monitor on, there is a pulsing (somewhat segmented) vertical line. I've attached a photo that shows the issue (difficult to capture without video)....

The monitor itself is branded as a P225f, but it turns out that it's actually a Pf815 that has an Add-On smallish PCB that expands it to support...

      Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
      by noisykid
      5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...

      Sony XR-77A80K 5 Red Blinks Troubleshooting
      by Dogindelusion
      Hi everyone! I am a new member and am new to electronics repair. I have a background in electrical engineering, but little experience in electronics.

      I have a Sony XR-77A80K which will not turn on and has 5 blinking red lights in the stand-by light. I had previously done a forced factory reset, which removed the error code, and the TV regained functionality for a few weeks. I repeated the factory reset and again regained functionality. This happened a few times until I so I had to begin troubleshooting the error.

      Observations:
      1) I noticed I was not getting...
