i come home today to turn on my tv. 30 second later it shut off and was blinking. i went to the owner manuel. no helpl so i deceide to go onto the web to search for help. found your. i court the blink on the tv. it has 8 blink. i read some off the advise that u give other. sound like a bad crt or a d broad. have not gotten the chance to remove to see if it had leak onto the d board. any advise would greatly help me.
The eight blink means there is a high voltage error. This could be because the high voltage regulator circuit is bad and making too much high Voltage, or the horizontal sweep circuit is defective. No easy fix on this set I'm afraid. The D board is where the problem is, and that is no longer available. If you know how to trouble shoot solid state printed circuit boards, you will have to fix this board to the component level. You can take the D board out and ship it out to many different board repair places. DO NO SEND TO Tristate, as we have heard from two different peeps who sent their D boards there and they both were damaged in transit. Whats the likelihood of this happening from two differ ant states, in double boxed cartons? MMM.!! Go to ptscorp.com. get their telephone number and call them to get a price to repair the D board. Good Luck
thank larry for the advise. i will do that. my last question to u is that once i remove the back cover, how many print board should i see and which one is the one that i would need to remove.
if u can give me the part number to the d boards then i should be fine. thanks again........u guy are the best.....
larry i was also wondering if u can email me a service manuel for kp57ws500
There are lots of boards in there that do different things of course. I will help you out by ending you the service manual, but please, at anytime, you do not understand anything, please do not hesitate to call in a pro to assist you in this repair. These sets are way to involved to explain the insides without any technical knowledge on how the different circuits work. Good Luck. And where am I suppose to send these? To what e-mail address. My Crystal ball is not working at the moment.
sorry larry for taking so long to reply back. i was wondering if u can send me the service manuel for the kp57ws500 at [email protected]. i have a friend who work with me and know where to send it out to get it repair or replace. i just need to remove it and bring it to him and go from there. i am a mech at selma kia and know about repair on car but not on tv. but i am sure that i can remove it without damaging it but would need the service manuel to guide me. thank alot. this web sit had help me alot. sorry for not puting the crystal ball sooner.
