Vertical Deflection Troubleshooting
No Vertical Deflection: The first instinct of the technician is to go after the vertical output IC8003 and understandably
so. It is a drive component with heavy current usage and heat dissipation, and it is usually the cause of the
failure..
The first check that you should perform (and this applies to all Sony televisions of the last seven years) is to
check the voltage level of the clock and data lines on the I
2
C bus. They are conveniently labeled SCLK and SDAT
(sometimes SCL and SDA). The DC voltage should not be lower than 4.6 volts. If either of these lines is loaded
down, the vertical oscillator will not start. This is the number one cause of multiple component replacements for
a simple vertical problem. You should always check the clock and data level whenever you have a strange
problem and, particularly, if it appears that you more than one problem. Although most television chassis will not
produce vertical deflection, some will generate other symptoms. As an example: The AA-2W used in Sony’s
KV32/36XBR200 sets will display a magenta colored raster with no video and insufficient vertical height. Assuming
the bus is okay, move onto the next step.
Since this chassis will go into protect mode and shut the unit down, certain measurements must be taken and
watched for during the time the unit powers up and shuts down. Unlike previous designs, the V stop feature
cannot be overridden since pin 35 of IC309 is looking for vertical pulses from Q8001.
Always remove the C
boards from the tubes when servicing a no vertical sweep condition.
The ± 15V lines are the first to check. If OK, place a scope probe and watch for a moment of vertical sawtooth
signal at pin 1 or 7 of IC8003. Any presence of drive signal here indicates IC309 is generating V drive and
isolates the problem to the output circuits. Verify vertical ramp signal on the high side of R8036 or R8039 in the
return circuit. The circuit could be running and Q8001 is not sending the V signal to IC3006.
