How to keep the voltage screws in place safely

My Sony had the blue screen due to the voltage screw being turned too high. I removed the front of my tv and dialed back the blue screw and it worked perfectly.. now its back to blue screen. What should I use to hold the blue voltage screw in place so I will not have to keep dismantling my tv? electrical tape? glue?

SOURCE: screen tuens blue them tv turns off

NOT GOOD NEWS... IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BLUE CRT IS SHORTED. THE ORIGINAL PART IS N.L.A.(NO LONGER AVAILABLE) THEY DO MAKE A GENERIC REPLACEMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY ARE AS GOOD AS O.E.M.
YOU CAN TAKE OFF FRONT OF T.V. AND ADJUST THE SCREEN DOWN ON THE FOCUS BLOCK. IT IS THE BLACK BOX WITH 6 ADJ. ON IT 3 ARE FOCUS. 3 ARE SCREEN . TURN THE BLUE ALL THE WAY DOWN , THEN WITH THE BACK OF A PLASTIC OR RUBBER SCREWDRIVER HANDEL YOU CAN TAP ON THE NECK OF THE CRT, NOT TO HARD. SOME TIMES YOU CAN CLEAR THE SHORT OUT OF THE CTR. IF THIS WORKS LET THE SET WARM UP FOR 10-20 MIN. THEN TURN THE COLOR ALL THE WAR OFF, THEN SET THE BLUE LEVER UNTIL YOU HAVE A GOOD BLACK AND WHITE PICTURE. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TURN IT UP YOU CAN DAMAGE THE CTR IF THE LEVEL IS TO HIGH. ERROR 8 IS A.K.B. ERROR THAT MEANS THE CRT'S ARE DRAWING TO MUCH CURRENT.

SOURCE: Blue spots on Sony High Definition 41 inch tv.

There are tiny screens at the top and bottom of the lightbulb (XL2200) that allow air for cooling over the lightbulb. It appears that if air flow is restricted the heat is not able to escape. The light source is in direct proximity to another mirror like device called the integrator lighting system polarization changer element. This may have gotten a little hotter than normal and is changing how the light is passing through to the tiny LCD's which make up the light engine. Creating the small areas of lavender light we are seeing.
I myself have replaced this bulb and now will check every months to vacuum the dirt off the tiny screens.

SOURCE: Remove Speaker Grille from Sony KP-65WV700

So you got the six screws undone, great! Now you can pop off the front speaker grill. The easiest way is to work your hand along the top and bottom to pop the plastic out of the "holders"

If what you are describing to me is the main wires still attached to the rest of the TV. So don't pull it out too far! If you do it right you won't have to unplug the wires, and save yourself some hassle... with this TV you'll have to pull it out JUST ENOUGH to get access to the carboard/masonite backing, removing such will give you full access to the six controls.

Adjust from there! Sorry for the wait, and I hope this helped out!

Picture is very blue most times.This is a light blue, but makes viewing difficult. Also before this issue came about, you could see a faint set of arcing lines running across screen especially when screen...

You can try adjusting the Blue color output. (Very touchy and dangerous adjustment)

If you take off the front cover/speaker cover, there should be a access panel. Behind that, there should be a small rectangular black box with 6 screws on it. This is the focus block. (At least this is where most of them are located) If there is no front panel, It may be located on or near the flyback (High Voltage) transformer on your model accessible from the back instead.

It sounds like you may need less Blue in the mix. There is a screw for each color. R, G, and B. Do not mess with the focus screws, just the ones labeled 'SCREEN.' They may have silicone over them to prevent them from moving. If so, you will need to remove it and put more on when adjustment is complete.

Go to an unused input where the screen should be dark. Barely turn the blue down in a dark room so that the Blue spot is at the same level as the Red and Green.

Use an insulated screwdriver and DO NOT TOUCH the focus block and ESPECIALLY NOT the back of it.
Very HIGH VOLTAGE. I found that out the hard way.

Do not turn any of these up too high or damage may occur to the tubes. If you turn them up too much, the TV may detect a short and shut off. this is a normal fail safe. These only need VERY slight adjustments.

I have found that if the three colors are adjusted in a dark room to where the 3 color spots (R/G/B) are just barely visible on the screen at equal levels, there is a pretty good color balance.

I hope this helps! Just be careful. Once again - LETHAL HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WHEN UNIT IS ON!!!!!!

How to add developer in sharp AR5316

From memory. open the right side door then open the front door.Remove the toner cartridge set on some paper so your floor doesn't get dirty. There will be a blue screw at the lower right position where the toner was removed from. (loosen screw) you now can slide out the developer unit. (keep it level) place on opened newspaper. Now remove the toner holder from the developer unit there is a small blue screw under a small red pad. When the screw is out slide the lower plastic piece forward and out. You can now dump out the old developer notice where it is coming from,you may want to wear a mask (i don't) You should have a toner vacuum to vac off the developer roller as you turn it. When it is all clean shake up the new developer and cut off a small corner and poor it evenly into the developer unit. (the same place you emptied it from) reassemble the developer unit (keep level) slide back in placs tighten the blue screw and put the toner back. Close the front door and right side door. There is a code that i can't remember to turn off the developer maintenance call. check your copy count in 25000 copies it will be due again. Note a drum and cleaning blade are also required at maintenance time.

You have a completely different problem. The screen voltage for the blue picture tube is slightly too high on your set. This will put fine lines in the background of the picture, called retrace lines. This is very common and easy to correct. Remove the front speaker cover and the access panel behind it. Look inside and you will see a black box with six controls, each control having a little white glue on it. This is the Focus/Screen block. Three controls are labeled Focus and three are labeled Screen. The screen control in the center is for green but I am not sure if the screen control on the left or right is for blue for your model. With the TV on, set it to VIDEO 1 but do not connect anything to the VIDEO 1 jacks. This will produce a pure dark picture, showing any faint lines in the background. Choose one of the screen controls and increase (turn clockwise) it slightly. If the blue lines do not get brighter it means you are turning the red screen control, so put it back where it was and choose the other screen control. When you find the blue screen control, decrease (turn counter-clockwise) it until just when the blue lines are gone. If you want you can check that the red and green screen controls are set to just below the point where their faint lines are visible. When done, replace the panels and your picture will be back to perfect.

MikeNJ1964 was exactly right! I have a Sony KP-65WV600 that had horizontal green lines that showed when the picture was darker. I had to remove 3 screws on the right and left side of the tv holding in the speakers...carefully pop out the middle panel from the clips holding it in....remove 4 screws from the cardboard in the middle and remove the cardboard. I then saw the six screws. The adjustment screws were the three below. I turned the middle screw until the lines dissapeared. I tried the left screw and blue lines appeared which I then adjusted away.
THANKS a bunch. SAVED me money!!!

Screen fades to blue.

The Blue SCREEN setting is too high. These adjustments are located inside the TV behind the front panel. There are two screws behind covers and then a wooden panel to remove to access the adjustments. The leftmost set are for BLUE, the middle are GREEN, and the right are RED. The top row are FOCUS and the bottom are SCREEN. Focus will focus/unfocus the tube and Screen will adjust the power of that tube (there are 3 tubes, one for each color). If Screen is adjusted too high, horizontal lines will appear (my TV had red lines, but I played around with the knobs and saw that it could happen on any of the colors). Additionally, if SCREEN is set even higher than that, the tube could go so high that it turns the whole screen that color (in your case, blue). If this happens the TV will shut down, probably due to either overheating or overvolting. To fix this issue, turn the appropriate SCREEN dial down until the lines go away. In your case, you want to turn the lower left dial down. Don't turn it too far down, if you turn it more than necessary the TV can give you an AKB error (noted by the STANDBY light flashing a sequence of 5 blinks).

KP-51HW40 Sony 51" Fades to blue screen

The service manual on page 8 shows how to adjust the Red/Blue/Green screen voltages. To get to the adjustment board, take the front speaker grill off (two screws at the bottom left and right) and set it aside. No need to disconnect any wires. Then remove the plywood board with 4 screws that exposes the screen/focus adjustments. The top 3 adjustments are for focus, and you need not mess with these. The bottom 3 adjustments are for Red/Blue/Green screen voltage rough adjustments. My screen showed red lines, so I had to turn the bottom right adjustment with a philips head screwdriver just slightly until the red gun retrace lines where no longer visible.

Can the focus be adjusted on a rear projection tv to make the picture sharper?

Yes but you have to be careful high voltage. Remove the front grill some have to be unscrewed and some just pop off. There will be a black box with pot adjustments they will say screen voltage and focus. there will be three for focus for all colors red green and blue; move slightly with plastic screw driver please be safe it is high voltage dont touch with hands if you dont feel comfortable hire a proffessional.

thanks doctor video

57" 2003 sony non-xbr projextion

there's a lot of talk in the internet that the pots in the front of the tv will take these (horizontal?) lines out . i have the kp-57hw40, and there is a web site with pictures on making the adjustment. i believe the bottom 3 pots are blue, green, red going from left to right. mark the pots first so you know where you started, and they say it takes just a hair adjustment counter clockwise to remove the lines. Only go to the point the lines disappear. web site shows how to get front cover off via two screws hidden in bottom and then take off the cardboard cover to get at pots. Not to be smart, but don't be careless, keep hands out since there are high voltage circuits just inside there. . . .
