Sony Trinitron KV-32HS500 Fixed
Sunday, February 08, 2009

Josh over here inherited a broken Sony Trinitron KV-32HS500 TV. After doing some research online it turned out that the issue has happened to more than one of these TVs.
The problem: Some KV-32HS500 can develop an issue, when the TV is turned on, it will run its startup tests then there will be no picture at all and the standby light will blink 6 times.
The solution: To repair the machine here we replaced the two MCZ3001D semiconductors on the D board. The two semiconductors are labeled on the D board as IC6501 and IC8002. We replaced the two $8 chips and were up and running again.
The entire D board may be purchased from Sony for $190 as of Feb. 2009.
Most of this info & more can be found on agoraquest.com.
And no, we're not getting into TV repair. Yet, anyways, we'll see how the LCDs behave in a year or two...

We replaced the two MCZ3001D semiconductors on the D board. The two semiconductors are labeled on the D board as IC6501 and IC8002. The old MCZ3001D need to be desoldered, removed & replaced. We could do it here if you were to supply us with the D board...

Do you think I would be able to replace myself? I just need a soldering iron?

We get asked that a lot, and I am not sure if you can replace it. If you have the de-soldering and soldering tools already and are used to replacing ICs and capacitors, yes, otherwise, you may want to leave it to someone who does it daily..
