- Is freeze spray so dangerous (it goes to -19 ºC, and the IC is specified to -40 ºC)?. I have used it many times without damages.
I'm repairing a friend's Sony Bravia (KDL-37V5500). The first minute
after powering up the image is OK, but after the first minute the image
gets solarized (whites go saturated, some parts become yellow, there is
a faint red border around bright parts).
The power supply and the backlight look OK, so I suspected about the
T-CON and used freeze spray over it. No changes until the local power
supply IC (ROHM BD8160EFV) died in short.
A new IC is on the way, but I have two questions:
- Where is the original fault?
- Is freeze spray so dangerous (it goes to -19 ºC, and the IC is
specified to -40 ºC)?. I have used it many times without damages.

Your original fault is most like the AS15 IC. There are several variants and some of them are all plastic while some have a metal belly pan for ground and heatsink. If yours has the belly pan, you must use hot air to get it out. What I do is put
As to why the other IC failed, are you sure it shorted? If the AS chip shorts, it will put the power converter IC into shutdown. Try removing the AS15 and see if the power IC outputs properly with no load.

Thank you both for your answers.
I have a SMT air station for chip removal, and the IC has a bottom pad
for heat sinking. I will desolder it when the replacement arrive.
Soldering the bottom pad will be difficult, though.
The BD8160 has the inner boost FET shorted (pins 4 and 5 are shorted to ground), so the 12 V input is shorted to ground through the boost coil. There is a 1206 fuse, but it is OK.
The AS15 is after the boost diode and a series MOSFET switch, so I know
the short is not in it (I have the T-CON schematic). If the board comes
back to life I will check the AS15, it is easy to test because it is
just an array of analog buffers.

You have a schematic for the TCON???

and the schematic was easy to find (IIRC it is from Elektrotanya)

Sony never made an LCD screen for TVs as far as I've ever seen.

you see on new TVs on display in stores?

I have an interesting question for all of you:
What do you think of the quality/characteristics of the pictureThey're cartoonishly inaccurate - but intentionally so. When there are 50 displays on the wall all running at the same time, the one with most bizarre colors and brightness is the one most people will pick as the best picture.
you see on new TVs on display in stores?
When setting up a new TV for home, most have a "home" or "store" or "demo" option. The home setting sets the LED array brightness to 100% by default. The store or demo mode sets it for 110 plus percent for the same reason.
I remember the time my softball team was at a bar after a game, and they had a Sharp Aquos 60" in default settings. The grass on the infield of the game we were watching that was on was a weird fluorescent green, the blacks were dark blue, and it was

I would estimate, since the mid-2000s, that millions of consumers automatically associate such overblown settings with HD and or 4K.

is bliss - let them be I say. Those settings are hard for me to
watch, but I don't think anyone who likes cartoonishly bad video
would listen to me, you, or anyone anyway. It was the same

settings.
