    Chapter 3 - Troubleshooting Video Failures Service Tip: If a service call is made for a “no video” complaint, a warranty repair would require the technician to bring a BAL board to the location. Problems that develop in the video circuits can appear as subtle or The technician will install the board (hopefully the correct one) and if the major distortions, a loss of one or more colors, improper video level, or video problem is not remedied, it is safe to assume the problem might...

    This will mainly be determined by availability of components replacement of the entire LCD panel was mandatory. This is not only from the LCD panel vendor along with decisions by Sony based on sales costly from a warranty standpoint but it also makes it near impossible to quantity and failure history of the TCON assemblies.

    Chapter 4 - Appendix Figure 4-3 illustrates 2 examples of a loss of control data to the drive IC’s. In the first example, an entire group of column drivers has lost the data stream for red. The second example involves the complete loss of drive data for all RGB information to the right side of the screen.
