Grand Wega turns off and comes back on

Hi I have a Grand Wega KDF-E55A20 and it has started having a problem. I turn it on and it runs for about 3 minutes and then the screen and sound go black. The power light stays green then starts flashing red.After about 30 seconds the light turns green and the TV comes back on. It does this over and over. Some times it will run all day with no problem.

My 3LCD model KDF-E55A20 is having problems of screen going black for minute or two then picture coming back. Had lamps replace about 3 yrs ago any suggestions

Hi I think you have two problems right now one of them is the lamp, if you replaced it 3 years ago.
two the ballast board I think that your ballast has gone bad and it is not sending enough energy to maintain the lamp on and that is the reason it turns off and on.
At this point I would have to say replace the lamp and the ballast and your TV will be working just fine

Sony grand wega kdf-e55a20 will not turn on when trying to turn on green light switches to red blinking light (this is not the replace lamp light)

Hi,do you hear any strange noises? If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast.Here's the instructions to replace it :http://www.fixyourdlp.com/guides/samsung/bp47-00033a.php But if you don't hear any strange noises,tv is around 6000 hrs,2-4 yrs it could be time to replace the lamp.The lamp you need is XL-2200.Have a blessed one!

I have a sony Vega 55" kdf-e55a20, It is 3 years old, and now the picture and sound fade away for 10-15 sec every hour or so and comes back! Anyone knows what the problem is?

Hi,
Lamp is getting weak and TV shuts off and turns on itself because of weak lamp in TV that you see picture and sound fades away for some time until TV reboots.
Replace lamp in TV to solve this issue. Lamp replacement procedure is written in user manual and its an easy work.
Please buy Sony original lamp for your Tv safety.
Thanks.

I have a Sony KDF-E55A20 rear projection, it will shut off pic/sound for 15 seconds then come back on for 15 min...then the same...I had a problem with this about 3 weeks ago and cleaned the bulb vents and...

Hopefully it's still under warranty or you purchased an extended warranty. My concern is that it is either a power supply issue or a lamp ballast issue. If it has overheating in the past then there may be other issues going on.
Would suggest bringing it into a good trusted service shop.
