Does it look like a factory mod or someone playing arround (AKA history of set) Did you test the CRT (HK or interelement short...) ie why the Ik was grounded.. Peter Oliver Tucson Radio TV From: "TV Doctors" <tvdoctors@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: "techassist" <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KV-27FS12 Chassis BA-5 Pink Screen with retrace lines. Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 11:14:30 -0800 (Pacific Standard Time) Unit came in with pinkish/purple screen. Can barely see picture in the background. No menu display. Noticed pin 5 of IC702 on the kine drive board unsoldered and a wire added to pin 5 to ground. This is the IK pin. I unplugged the set took off wire and resoldered pin 5 to where it should be and powered the set up. Unit came on with a nice picture for anout 10 seconds and then went back like it was. Any help would be appreciated. No print on this set.
