    Sony Monitor

    I have a Sony monitor with a colour fault, it has 4 bands in display, the left and right are ok the centre 2 are wrong colour, I have ruled out cable, is this repairable? or is the tube faulty?

    Had a 3 year warranty on my Sony. They fixed it no charge even though there was a crack in the case (dropped it on the way to the car).

    Which Sony model is it? Go here for Sony Support for Displays. It might have a manual available for your use as well as updated .inf files.

    Make a bitmap with Red, Green, Blue and Black bands.
    If you're missing a colour you'll find it. If one colour is not getting blanked you'll see it on the black band.
    Usually it's a transistor (older models), newer ones might have an IC that outputs te control signals for RGB. Most likely it can be repaired at a decent price. (say 1 hour labour + $10 parts..)
    CRT's have a habbit of failing in time, not suddenly.
    The only adjustable thing about the colour guns are the magnets for focusing.
    DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE! - you've been warned.

    Model number is a G520, 21", I don't have any warranty though, I bought it second hand, cheap, you can guess why, due to post, anyway I think I will try the repair option.

    I found this: specs on the 650GS. It is the closest I could come up with G650. It says it is 21". It also says that it has built-in diagnostics.

    The following link is supposed to tell be the Instructions for running the SelfTest. But their site was having "technical difficulties." You might them again later on...


    EDIT: Oh yeah, you're in the UK.


    Go here for Display downloads from England's website. Scroll down to the G-Series and select your model number. Let us know if this helps you out any. Hopefully, you won't need to take it in for repairs. Good Luck!
