Sony a-1302-180-a Being told my repair center that I had some fluid from one of tubes leak down and leave some corrosion on board. It did corrode off a coil that I tried to re-solder in but would not hold. Repair center wouldn't give me the right coil even though he had them. I'm looking for someone that can look up and see what coil # L8026 would be on this particular board and if this would cause some distortion problems as well on my tv. Unit first would fire up but shut off right away with sound but no picture. The next day it came up with picture and sound and stayed on but picture was very distorted with red, blue, green all over the place looking very similiar to pictures I looked at when searhing for my board on your site. I'm trying to decide if the tv is worth repairing or just to trash it out. It is 5 years old and I've already purchased a new plasma but hate to throw away the sony Kp51w-s510. Please help if you can

The repair guy is trying to save you some grief, when iv'e seen this in the past they are usually not worth trying to fix as that coolant is rather hard to clean out- nearly impossible to get all of it.

How to change crtfluid
Only a qualified service tech should replace coolant fluid. I've serviced TV's for a good while, and I would not attempt this repair without a co-worker showing me precisely what to do. You have to remove the Picture Tube(s) to do this, and if they leak after assembly, your TV circuit boards could be totalled out. The coolant is similar to anti-freeze and is corrosive.

Coolant is leaking onto circuit board and shorting it out
Glycol leaks can be a problem. How bad is the leak is it dripping on the boards. This stuff that s leaking is called glycol conductive anc corrosive. keep the set upluged. The seals in the crts have failed. they would have to be replaced. Very involed repair. it involves removing the tube and removing the glycol removing the seal cleaning the tube replaceing the seal refilling the tube putting the tube back in and aligning. at the shop such a repair is about 2 to three hours..if THE GLYCOL has leaked on the board then the board could have been damaged. AT this point you have to ask if it is worth it. always get a profesional to do this type of repair. i dont say this often but this is not a fix it yourself

Tv shuts off for no reason
Good Day;

More than likely your TV has "COOLANT" (ethylene glycol) on the circuit boards. This fluid comes from the CRT's (picture tube) this fluid is used to keep the CRT's cool, such the name. This fluid from the CRT's leak when TV is on for long periods of time, the chamber expands and the seals leak.

One can remove this fluid by using "acetone" & small brush. The fluid is hard to see, use bright light, they spots can be smaller then a DIME. Also, the fluid can corrode the parts and traces on the boards. To protect the TV in future place heavy plastic or thick cardboard over affective area, make sure TV has proper air flow around TV.

If after the fluid has been removed and TV still does not work, call an Authorized Service Center to come out and repair TV after giving you an Written Estimate. The boards are not available.

Always try resetting the TV by unplugging it for one minute then plug back into A/C outlet and ALWAYS UNPLUG TV BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIR ON THE TV.

Good Luck, big IRISH.
