Question about Sony KV-36FS16 36" TV

1 Answer

No green color

My Tv no longer displays any green color. My son had a bad habit of saturating the color (maxing it out) and now the T.V no longer shows any green color. The onscreen display prompts are now all black instead of the normal green. Can maxing color out in this fashion cause trouble (I assume yes, but don't really know for sure). On the front panel there is a Red light which constantly blinks which I assume to mean a fault of some kind has been detected. I like supporting local business and brought the set to a local mom and pop T.V. repair place to have them look it over ($100 diag fee).. Anyway i dropped the set off and the owner replied that it could be a simple problem with a circuit board or a more costly complete tube replacement. He indicated it was a top of the line T.V and they don't make a lot of repair parts for this set anymore, but he did happen to have several Tubes (in case one was needed) out back. Long store short he said the green gun doesn't fire and is not replaceable and I need a whole new tube. Does this sound right?...He was very eager to replace the whole tube for $800 (no warranty). But I hardly think this would be a wise move considering the same T.V. can be found on-line for under $1K new with a warranty. As it stands now I would bring the unit back home put it in the basement and leave it for the kids video games... Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated... BTW I don't have the proper equipment or training to troubleshoot. I only have a digital volt meter and realize the capacitor inside can kill you months after the set has been unplugged..

    Thank you for your response. I do have a few questions:
    How common is this problem and why does it occur?
    What does the blinking LED indicate on the TVs front panel?
    Could the problem be something else? The repair guy was very eager to replace the whoel tube and indicated this as soon as I explained the problem.

Yes a bad picture tube. Not worth repairing. Use as a boat anchor.

    Its is possible that the green drive circuit has a fault, but if he tested the tube and found no green it trash.

My sceptre lcd tv is displaying really bright pink and green colors
I had a similar problem with blacks showing up as green. Turning up the brightness a bit fixed it for me. Not a permanent fix, but something to try if you want to make it last a bit longer until you can get a new one or fix it.

I have a olevia tv and the color of the tv is green how can i fix the color ,after comcast fix something in the signal the tv color is green
I have a 532-b12 so it may be the same - but not sure. Push the small round "menu" button on the remote. A pinwheel should show up in the upper left corner. Use the up/down and left/right arrows to go to picture. From there, you can change, saturation, color, contrast, etc.

Press the Func. button to diplay color modes in the little display.
When the display shows Color to the far left, you can switch color modes on the button below. STD is standard saturation, HIGH is high saturation, ORG. is less saturated that STD, and finally B/W

No Red color at all. The convergence feature does not work either. Lots of green and blue RCA Model D52W59
Red color gun has failed, which will make the picture over saturated with the other two colors(blue,green) the bad news is the three color guns need to be replace in a set(all at the same time) because if you only replace the red it will over saturate the older blue, green guns then your picture will be mostly red.Unfortunently in most cases it's not worth the investment, better off to purchase a new tv. Good luck !

I have a Symphonic 32" Color TV the picture is red. I need a tv repairman person to come out and look at the TV.
the dives or guns are out of balance. either the blue and green circuits are weak or the red drive is maxed out. when picture tubes are getting old, this normally occurs.
another thought is that the tint is incorrect and saturated. what is the picture quality details?

Color is off on my xbox 360.has a green tint.any idea how to fix this?
You have two options, first: change the display settings on your tv so that the xbox screen looks normal. Or change the color display settings in the console settings menu. Play around with the saturation until it looks right to you. Also, make sure to keep electronics off the top of your tv. I've noticed that this can sometime change the color of the screen in certain places. Hope this helps.

How to adjust color on sk-32h570d
This is from the MANUAL
www.westinghousedigital.com/pdf/197_User_Manual.pdf

PAGE 27

A-1 Settings
Use the Settings sub-menu options to manually adjust the display quality. Use the ◄/► keys to adjust the

Adjust the luminance level.
Adjust the brightness to darkness ratio.
Adjust the balance of the red, green, and blue colors in the display.
Adjust the color intensity.

Adjust the brightness level of the screen backlight.


AND this is from the troubleshooting procedures in the manual

PAGE 64


Wrong, abnormal or missing colors

・ If any colors (red, green or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper connection.
・ Press and select Picture | Settings to adjust the Hue and Saturation settings. You can also select
Picture | Advanced to adjust the Color Temperature settings.
・Connect the TV to another computer and check if the problem is with the computer screen.


Other than that there is no mention of color adjustment

Lower the contrast first.

If colors not in balance, reduce saturation until "normal" to your eye with whichever color (or color pair) out of balance.

3 year old Mitsubish 52" DLP mdl.WD-52627 TV displays all "Red" colors as Brown-Grey in color. Going to the color level menu and maxing out the Red color bar does no good. Also intensifying...
Found out I have extended warranty and I am awaiting service company to respond in order to conduct service to find the problem.

5 blink error code on a Sony Trinitron KV-36FS16 I have a Sony Trinitron KV-36FS16 and it cuts off by itself many times a day. Sometimes it just shuts off and sometimes the screen goes blue with white horizontal line before it shuts off. Also, when it starts acting up the picture dims on and off almost like it has an intermitten color. When this starts happening, the standby light gives a five blink error code. Any help on this would be greatly appriciated. Thanks, Jason
