Sony BVM-D32E1WU Problems

[speedswan]

I've just picked up a Sony BVM-D32E1WU and BKM 10-R controller a week ago which was starting up fine (with 'Initializing' on the screen).

However now starts up with a green power light and the normal 'boing' type noises that you expect from a CRT but no image whatsoever - the controller seems to work but with no on screen display at all. The 'degauss' and 'power' buttons work and the buttons light up but nothing else.

I tried removing all of the cards and reseating only the ISR/Remote card (it seemed to need that to boot up) along with the included input card and no change.

I have the service manual but was wondering if there was any sort of button combination to send it into a factory reset.

My next step is to take the case off and look if there's anything fishy going on and attempt to change any suspicious caps.

Anyone have any better advice?

Thanks!

Is there any neck glow? Is the neck board secure?

Great thing about these BVMs is the way most of the components are modular. I would personally eliminate the possibility of a faulty ISR board and input card by swapping with known working ones. That's assuming you checked the above.
