Re: Re: SONY ORIGINAL PARTS

Hi John,
Were you able to find the main board for your TV? I too am in search for it. If you have found it, can you help me and let me know where? If not, then perhaps we can help each other, Please email me at dookati@msn.com

  I, too, am looking for the "main board" for sony model KV-36FV15, which may ( or may not!) be part number A 1298-961-A, which is " no longer available ".
  
  According to Sony ( the useless Parts Center ), I have to supply them with the part number even though I advised what a techie said was: "No Horizontal Drive from Processor" and I provided the Chassis number AA-2W, which they claim is not sufficient for them to identify which "board" needs replacement.
  
  I am curious how many consumers owning this model experienced the same treatment from this department called Direct Accessories and Parts Center ( DAPC )?
  
  My set was damaged in transit ( this 277 pound set is a rather ridiculous weight with modern technology ) and the transit company called in a service tech who said he has inspected "numerous" Sony's with the same problem: the Main Board is positioned too low in the chassis and suseptible to damage if the set is moved and set down ( for example ) on an angle and not placed flat down on a level surface.
  
  Did you ever locate the part? Have you ever gotten satisfaction from Sony? Your response, please.

    Direct Accessories and Parts claim to have the board for $200. P/N A1298961A PHASE III, A but it could be a hoax. They have sent me an 1-800-488-7669 phone number. Tomorrow I will go to a major repair depot in San Jose, CA see what they say about this board.

    I have a Sony KV-36XBR250 TV. When you open the back, there are 3 horizontal and 1 vertical boards. The center board is connected to the horizontal board which contains the input and output devices (75-ohm, s-video, RCA, etc.) This center board is cracked and needs to be replaced. I believe it is called the A-board, a-1298-961-a, or 9-910-991. Is there a place where I can purchase this board and do you know how much it is? Thanks, Tom

      Welcome to the select many who have suffered the same fate! Sony didn't realize qhen they created that monsterous set that the "underbelly" was too flexible to support the weight of the cabinet and, when the set was placed down incorrectly, the stress on the "A" board caused it to break and...........now you, too, are without any adequate solution. Sony will tell you that your set is, under normal circumstances, good for 8-10 years. They stopped manufacturing the "A" board only 4 years after its introduction. They have no answer for you other than your set is out of warranty. I searched for repaired boards, salvaged boards, interchangeable boards and have had no success in locating a board which might work. So much for Sony !

    This vendor claims they can repair the A-1298-961-A board for approximately $170. PTS Electronics (http://www.ptscorp.com/television.html) The board is cracked...do you think they can repair it?
