Check the voltages on the CRT base, the cathodes should be running about 150V or so, adjust the A1 control until they are.

I entered the model number of my Sony TV in Google and got many sites trying to sell its service manual but I found one link with a free one.
I also found a forum where guys talked about the same problem my TV had.

Yours is intermittent so a part has poor soldering or a connector needs to be re-seated.

here's a good site for you, search for chassis no.

look for sub bright(bias),screen (bias),ABL capacitor it maybe defective.

Quickest fix would be to adjust the flyback if it does have any adjustments, usually there's 2 adjustments, and upper and a lower. One should control contrast, and one should control voltage. Try turning both of them to see if there's any resolve to your situation, but like i said be careful not to touch the big red cable, or the rubber flap around the back of the tube.

Ignore this load of complete rubbish! - and don't go randomly twiddling the focus or A1 controls!.

A little 'knowledge' is a dangerous thing!

It ain't like you're going to blow it up turning them down or up all the way! Sometimes experimentation makes for a quick fix....or a broken product. I have never shorted out anything adjusting these, besides getting a slight jolt here and there. Most times this is a quick cure, if it doesn't help anything, which i'm sure it will, then put them back into the stock positions.

No, the flybacks usually stay in the 35kV range. Asked a 30+ TV repair guy myself. I picked a Flyback about the size of my head, it output about 25kV with my driver.

hi mramos1,
A few question, so we can firgure out your tv problem.
what is color of the retrace line (red,green,blue,white) ?.

Very high brightness, produce white retrace line. you can adjust Screen control on the flyback (two pot are there screen and focus) , figure out which is screen (sometimes it was in CRT board). adjusting focus may cause arcing , AVOID Touching any metal/heating sink that is connected to ground/chassis/earth while adjusting focus/screen .

May I know "jungle IC and micro controller IC" number ? , coz There's a Pin controlling the brightness , which is some times(different model) connected to Sub Bright, which is also connected to ABL flyback (not directly connected but few resistor and transistor before ABL flyback), and connected to capacitor range about 0.1uf to 10uf . note : I'm not sure in the connection but it is common in different model/brand. take some sanyo tv schematic make it as your reference, look on Brightness,screen,ABL , (R,G,B,G1,G2 CRT board section) .

Adjust the Blue bias (Blue drive) on Crt board, check resistor/bjt on BK (blue cathode).

RED Video amplifier,Blue video Amplifier, Green video amplifier (crt section), it has the same circuit/component.

Make a comparison between component with the same value/voltage .

Download sanyo schematic any model(tv), use it as reference for voltage measurement on the crt board secton.

yes, guru was right !! solder all components on crt board first, before any test/adjust to be done. .You may get an "Unbalance White" (white as white Paper on Screen). BIG!!!! TROUBLE on adjusting RGB Bias. Specially on moving object/changing color on the screen.
