Vertical line
Hello
There is only two possibilities for this fault. As far as horizontal output section is concerned, it is working well, otherwise you will not get any screen illumination. Here up to horizontal output section is Ok. Then come the first possibility, the connection to the deflection yoke [the coil fitted on the neck of the picture tube] and it sconnection related. If this connection is open or loose contacted, there will be no horizontal scanning pulse reach to the coil; resulting a thin vertical lin through the middle of the screen. The second possibility is the deflection yoke, the coil said above is open. It is a very rare case, adn the possibility is only 2% or so. Your Tv must have the first said faut I thinks.
Open your tV, and follow th wires [usually 4 of them] from the delection yoke said above, and you will reaach to a point on the main board where they are socketed to a point. ust pull out and replugh that socket 3 or more times. If there is any loose contact, this process will retify it. Also check for any loose soldering point at the solder side of these four pins, and there is a capacitor that bypasses the horizontal scanning pulse to the deflection coil, check the soldering of its terminals for any loose. There are no other possibility in Sony sets to show this type of fault. OK.
