After a couple months or so of taking 15-20 minutes for the picture/sound to show up the set just died one day during viewing time and now won't turn on at all and nothing is blinking.

It cold be the power supply is going bad for your TV and that the TV is starting to die on you guys and it would be more cheaper to buy a new TV than to try and repair the old TV that is no longer working anymore.

It can be a couple things. Something bad on the power board. Or the vertical output circuit. How long ago did you purchase the television. Your best course of action is to have it serviced.
If you need any information or other assistance let me know.
Thanks,
Lee

Defective LED back lights strips, or damaged EEPROM on main board. I will try a main board first, if you do nor have a TV LED strip tester.

Hi Matt.
I`ve been repairing sony tv`s for a long time now and i can tell you that what you described is sure signs of a weak picture tube.
And the price of a new picture tube makes it prohibitive to replace it. You could open the set and adjust the screen control on the high voltage transformer but it won`t last long. If you decide to do that , look for a transformer with a long and thick red wire that connects to the back of the picture tube , That is the flyback transformer and there will be two controls on it, you want to adjust the bottom control that is the screen control(the upper one is the focus).
Turn your tv on and slowly turn the screen control up until the picture shows up at a reasonable brightness level, if yout turn it to high or you may get retrace lines in the picture.
That may strech the life of your set for a couple of months .
Hope this will help. Merry Christmas

i suggest pointing the camera to an image which has more contrast as opposed to pointing it into a clear blue sky which has no clouds at all. the AF might have some trouble looking for cue to focus. go manual focusing and see the difference.

Tom,
What you've got it a busted backlight inverter... need to replaced a new one or repaired it. To repaired, if you are lucky just replaced a couple of faulty capacitors in the power supply w/ built-in inverter... Good lucks, have nice day!

Sony has had a problem in older sets with-believe it or not- lack of humidity. I had one with the same problem. If it is under warentee take it back, if not-I know it sounds insane- put a large plastic garbage bag over the turned off set. Leave it that way for a couple of days. do not turn it on during this time. After a couple of days remove the bag and turn it on. If it works-that's the problem, if it doesn't- it's dying, and to expensive to fix. Surprised the heck outta' me when I tried it on my old Sony 19" set- it worked.

My viewing screen is black. I had successfully taken a picture, viewed it, and turned the camera off. When I turned it back on about 30 seconds later, the viewing sceen was black. I can 'take' a picure, but it comes out black. Help!
