Sony Bravia No signal plus flickering image and

I have Sony Bravia 42". It is about a year old. Everything was fine until there was a power outage twice within five minutes. Next, when I turned the tv on, it showed the message, “Current time has lost, please reset the time." I tried resetting the time but image on the TV screen started flickering every 15 seconds. When i reached to the Time setting button, it didn’t allow me to change the time as the function was disabled. Next, I turned off the TV and reset the tv to its factory setting. It didn't resolve the issue. Now, I am getting the message on the tv screen, “No signal" " No program description is available" and the TV image is showing all black and white dots and the image flickers every five to ten seconds. Pleeeeeeese help me out to solve this problem... I will appreciate it.

You know how to reset the tv to its factory setting, I think you are a technician. Second thing you can do is software update. Go to http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=KDL42V4100&LOC=3#div_pos_30 . If it doesn’t work. Replace the Main board (UB board). Part # A-1547-086-A Cost approx $320.

Knowledge obtain from: Repair experience on same symptom.
Parts reference: Andrews electronics, 800 289 0300.

WE had Sony Bravia 42" LCD TV for two years working fine. Thuis morning the picture went off. What is the problem?

After checking DVD and other accesaries (functioning OK), I turned the power off for the Cable Box and restart to reset the Cable Box which resored the VIDEO function. I recommend the same procedure for those who has a Cable Box.

Sony Grand WEGA LCD with no picture

If this is the model I am thinking of, don't bother fixing it. Call up sony and they will should offer you an new sony bravia lcd tv. You can either get the free one or upgrade from the free one to a bigger one. I guess that there is some recall with the light engine and sony is giving out this offer. This happened to my grandma to her 42" grand wega. The ending result was that she got a 46" 120hz sony bravia tv for, if I remember right, $250. I hope that this helps. Good luck and happy new years!!!

Exact problem

This is an internal malfunction, deffinately use the warranty on it. If you decide to fix it yourself post again and I'll walk you through changing the LCD controller. Its not too challenging, but will require you to dismantle almost the entire tv.

Recently bought a Sony Bravia 20KDLS4000. Sony DVD player DVD-NS575P was compatible with 3 year old Sony TV but with Bravia, the DVD image is in Black and White. TV gets color fine. Thanks for your...

Try to set your video output settings on your dvd player . I assume you used to connect to your old tv by using svideo and now you are using another connection like component, scart or hdmi.If the video output setttings on your dvd are still on svideo you will have to set it to rgb or component or else you will get black and white images..
