LED BLINKING CODES AND SERVICE MODE 

SELF DIAGNOSTIC 
The identification of errors within the EG1L-L chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted).

SONY SERVICE TIPS
SONY KV32TW77
No high voltage
Sony AA-1 chassis. Unit no high voltage or sound. RY602 latched at turn on.
SOLUTION
Inspected the Power oscillator and discovered that it was running and producing 167 volts DC at the input side of RY602, but a <13 volts on the low side. Jumping RY602 restored High voltage. Unit had a bad RY602 relay in the power supply.

SONY KV32XBR37
NO RASTER
KV32XBR37 serial 80139945. Unit has no raster. Has sound, CRT filaments, and high voltage. Led in front is flashing.
SOLUTION
May have a IK failure. When bringing up the G2 the raster will appear with full vertical sweep and a purple screen. Not much green. Tech needs to look at the IK buffer collectors on Q771, Q772, & Q773. Normally with beam current there shall be about 1 volt on each collector. With the CRT Socket removed all collectors must drop to "0" volts. Q771 did not. It was 1.2 volts regardless if the tube was connected or not. Tech needs to short Q771(E&B) and see if the collector will drop. It did not. TV will need a replacement Q771. Replacement cured the symptom.
