The EURAS repair tip database for professional technicians and service engineers supplies the following faults for ST5196VT / KITON.

List of fault symptoms:
  • Bright horizontal bar.
  • Excessive red. (ST5196VT tips)
  • No picture (intermittently).
  • Partial field collapse.
  • No line drive.
  • Excessive blue.
  • Tuning locks then shutsdown.
  • No functions.
  • Bright coloured raster, one colour.
  • Chopper FET Q801 blown.
  • Does not store channels or analog levels. Will store on Channel 1, but all data is also on other channels. No TXT or NICAM.
  • Goes to standby after a short period. Removing NICAM PCB stops effect, but no TXT. (ST5196VT tips)
  • Vertical line. on upper half screen.
  • Low gain noisy picture, AGC preset works, but not setting properly.
  • Dead.
  • Customer has forgotten the PIN code and install menu is locked.
  • Microcontroller.
  • No video, OSD OK, stuck in AV mode.
  • Audio stages.
  • Grainy picture.
  • Display locked.
  • No luminance. intermittently.
  • Poor power supply. Appliance remains in standby.
  • Reduced vertical size. Poor linearity. on upper half screen. (ST5196VT tip from KITON)
  • Frame cramped, foldover bright at centre and curving in from horizontal edges.
  • Nicam and signal conditioning chips. (ST5196VT KITON repair tip)

  • Dead. after lightning strike.
  • NICAM/ZWEITON.
  • Power supply transistor blows immediately at switch on.
  • Low brightness.
  • Picture pumps when warm or when switch channels.
  • Erratic operation. Intermittently switches to standby. Corrupt OSD.
  • Low level mono sound, NICAM OK.
