Sony KDL-37V4000 - Bright picture.

(1/2) > >>

Turnip:
Hi Folks,

Have one in where picture is bright with low contrast and a vague sort of fine patterning.

Suspect T-con - Any thoughts ? - Thanks, Chris.

Just had a look on line - Suspect it's an AS15-X problem well known on the 32" version, not yet mentioned on Fleabay for a 37" mend.

Hi Chris,

I suspect the erudite Turnip would be correct. Sony generally use AS15-U, but you can use AS15-F or AS15-G as a replacement.....oh, I see, you're looking for a dodgy T-Con from the Flea.

Whatever, T-Con it will be. Go for it.

Hi Bruce,

Hadn't even taken the back off at the time, so merely speculating.

China does a new T-con for about £20 post paid, so thought go for it, and a AS15-U for a couple of quid so can practice changing it, hopefully not damaging tracks.

Note that some chap said that all AS15 chips are exactly the same in essence, only print is changed to protect named folks hoping make the pound - Could be wrong - Thanks - Chris.

zomikula:
Yes all as15 chips are same in function.
Can sub in the cheapest one  :thumbup:
About £1 i think from china.

Also get some kapton heat tape.

Tape around the chip
and use hot air to remove the chip will come off quite cleanly

downunder:

The solder blob on the underside of the IC does make it stroppier to get off, but hot air or butane torch will shift it. Yes, take care lifting it off as the tracks are very fine.
