IC 610 - 5volts regulator short? HTH Don B. drvcr@xxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter oliver" <oliver_peter1@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 10:14 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KV27S20 AA2 blows Q601 & Q602 Sony KV20S20 AA2 MFD 1996 (main chassis with seprate power supply board, discrete components, Dampered HOT) Set was brought in as a Military Shipping Damage Claim. Found Q601 & Q602 shorted, R607 open, No apparent cracks on board or visble trama to the set. The HOT seemed to be ok although it read 12 ohm B-E out of circuit (accross damper network) (tried repacing it just in case no help), VDR601 reads as open, C609, C610, C611, C612 read within tolleance on a BK 830 capacitace meter. Main filter caps test ok, and output voltage off main full wave recifier is ok. When set is pluged in will instantly blow Q601 & Q602 (2SC4834 M) and opens R607. Does not even get as far as fluxing up the HV. The VDR601 1-810-974-11 is a mashushita ZNR V10431U according to its markings (any one know if the Digikey part # P7257-ND is the same thing, it is only $0.37 where as the Tritronics list on the 1-810-974-21 is $9.09 in the sony packaging or even NTE 2V275 10mm?) [ I have the PDF's for the AA2 Chassis from sony and the Sams for the 32S20] I am thinking on the following lines: 1. VDR601 was damaged and is activating at an erronously low volatge causing power supply failure either from an intrinsic time related fault or from being inadvertantly connected to 220v while on travel. 2. additonal componet faults causing failure 3. hidden shipping related damage not easily detetable (CRT ? But don't even hear or feel the osc start) Peter Oliver Tucson Radio TV _________________________________________________________________ Gift-shop online from the comfort of home at MSN Shopping!
