20 Most Recent Sony Grand WEGA KDF-60WF655 60" Rear Projection HDTV - Page 9 Questions & Answers

It costs around $84.

The yellowing of Sony’s KDF-60WF655 rear projection is a problem with the SXRD optical engine. This turned out to be a big problem on many of the SXRD TV's. Sony actually had a class action lawsuit that covered the optical engine for 5 years. My unit was replaced in June of last year (2009) about 1 month before the coverage ended. My unit had a bad yellow streak on the right hand side. Sony no longer covers the cost of replacement, as the class action suit has now expired. Sorry for the bad news. Its not clear if a new optical engine will suffer the same fate after a few years. Sony’s rear projection TV's are amazing and the picture rivals many of today’s LCD's and Plasma's. Any authorized Sony Tv repair shop will no exactly your problem and will be able to give you a fixed price to repair.
Hope this helps

Sorry, but its wearing out so soon,,, I have a similar one that turned green in the right top corner which was temp solved by not having all my accessories that were plugged in turned on at the same time,,, but after a few months the green became permit and the tv stopped functioning. Hope a solution comes your way, but to start looking for a new one as repairs are = and or more than a new television. Good Luck Rkaler24

Hi there.. ..


The problem is if you want to change it you need to disarm all the in the front and remove the screen and in the back so you can get the fan.

here is a image of the fan and TV lamp..

i will attach a link of a website that you can buy at a good price.

Does the LAMP light beside the LED power light flashes too?How long is it been u change the projection bulb?If u watch alots of tv,and it has been along time,u have not change the bulb?The first,thing to tries is to change the projection bulb,see how in turn out?

Sounds like a failing lamp

http://sites.google.com/site/sonylcdrptvproblems/ This site will have all the info you need to fix this problem, or have sony possible replace your TV with a newer model as long as you have your invoice.

Lamp blinking indicate lamp dead, must change lamp it dead.

Hi,Is yoyr tv close to 6000-8000 hrs 2-4 yrs.If its it might be time to replace the lamp.Your part # is XL2200 Make sure you get the Philips lamp.There's other components that tend to go bad like the ballast which is the board that powers the lamp.When that is bad it will make continuous clicking noises or attempts to light up the lamp.But if you dont hear any of that then most likely its just the lamp that needs to be replaced.Have a blessed one!

If it is a LCD projection, like WEGA, sounds like a bulb replacement time. Look in your owners manual.

If this is the model I am thinking of, Sony has a recall on the light engine. They are going bad in many of the Grand Wegas. Call them up and they should offer a new tv. You can either get a BRAND NEW lcd tv for free, but it is going to be smaller than your current one. Or you can get a different size for a reduced price. Late last year (november 2009) my grandma saw a red band at the top of the display. We called up Sony and we got a BRAND NEW 46" 120hz Sony Bravia for about $250 if I remember correctly. And since it is a new tv, you get a new warrenty. You also get to keep your current grand wega because they simply don't want them. I stongly recommend calling them up because this will give you a new tv. Spread the word.

order the original lamp they usually come with the instructions and in the cases that it doesnt the owners manual explains it too

catually is problum is related with blue lcd & blue polizer but first you clean the optical unit if the problum gon then ok other wise must chang blue lcd & blue polorize with uv filter plese contect to your nearst sony service centre

projection TV`s have many protective circuits in them, they protect your CRT`s from damage, over voltage called x-ray, and many others, you need to have it checked before the damage is more costly your TV is not happy and needs to be checked

the optic block is not a specific color it has all the colors the part if bought refurbished is about 350.00 then the labor about 175.00 of course they always charge more for the part then you can get it for I would say here between 600.00 and 700.00

the problem you are having is with the optical block sony had a recall for this but I am pretty sure it has ended you can call sony tech support and see

i think if you don't have a thermal fuse you need to get one.It may be used for a safety hazzard it may get so hott that fuse is triggered to power down your tv

Light Engine Call Encompass Parts 1-800-638-3328

hello it will flash if the bulb is not securely fitted and make sure the front cover is fitted securely as well

In most cases, your set has an open Thermal Fuse. I don't have a parts list handy, otherwise I would give it to you for reference as you shop for it.

It's not labor intensive at all to do. In fact, it's pretty straight forward as, if my clouded mind can recall, the thermal fuse in this set sits directly next to the light engine and right under the lamp housing.

You could do some research at partstore.com or a similar site for your set's model # and the keyword of "thermal fuse."

However, once that thermal fuse goes in, you should be back up and running.

You will also want to check all fans in the set while you're there to make sure you don't have any clogged fans. Clogged fans can cause the set to overheat, and scenarios that involve overheating can lead to thermal fuses blowing again and again.

Best of luck.
