|
|
I have a Sony G70, and it just developed the issue pictured below. (This problem did happen once a few months back and a simple power off/on fixed it then) This is mainly affecting the green, which has random lines all over the bottom of the screen. I've read other posts that says it may be the DC board. Where is this board located on the G70 and could it possibly just need to be reseated? Anything else I should try?
Sorry for the poor picture quality, I only had my phone handy. I can get better pics if needed.

Curt, or anyone:
Yesterday I was ready to ship my DC board to Curt for repair, but I decided to put the DC board back into the projector so I could free up space on my DVR, and everything was normal again. ???? Before I removed the card, it had the above issue, and I tried unplugging and re-seating all the cards I could find several times without any improvement.
So, is this how the DC board fails?? I would think that they would just go bad - and stay bad... So, am I looking at a bad DC board or something else like a loose cable or connection???
If someone could please help, I am leaving on vacation this Thursday for 2 weeks, and if I need something repaired, this is the perfect time to have it done, but I also don't want to send in the wrong part to be fixed... Any ideas???
-Matt

Yes, it will fail again in short order. Could be an hour, 15 minutes or 20 hours, but it will die again.

Thanks!

Curt actually upgrades that board and makes it more robust than the factory board ever was
