Hi everyone! I absolutely had to take a break from this Sony KV27XBR45 before I went crazy.. Obvious pincushion problem on both sides but it also seems to be pulsing on the sides. I carried this little monster down 3 flights of stairs and into my motel room (on the road again..) and have gotten bleary eyed working on it. I replaced L510 (yes, I actually had 1) Q505, IC504, Q503 (pin out) and checked the solder connections on L509. Absolutely no luck.. I'm starting to think I'm in the Bates Motel tonight! I have no schematic with me to help trace the circuit but I did notice the voltage on the collector of Q503 keeps changing from 3.1v up to 5.9 volts and back B=.55 E=0 but I have no idea what is correct. Any suggestions, PLEASE.
