I have a sony kdf-e42a10 and the picture has disappeared. The pictured started to lose "brightness" a couple and weeks ago and finally the other day the picture will NOT turn on. The green light in front just blinks for a minute or so and then the red light blinks. I bought the TV from Circuit City around 5 years ago. Any thoughts?

Usually the lamp gets brighter when it begins to fail. I would check to see how dirty the inside of the set is. There are beam splitters and lcd filters in that set and if they get dirty then you lose picture quality.
It sounds Lamp is weak and causing darker picture. How old is this TV and did you replaced Lamp recently? If lamp has not been replaced in past 2-3 years then its time for new lamp, XL-2400 available in Sony Accessories Store and lamp replacement procedure is written in user manual. Thanks.
Start by changing the lamp. If you got 5 years out of the old one, count your blessings, most folks only get three. The lamp is designed to be replaced by the consumer. Ebay will carry a replacement for you or you can get it directly from rivervalleyelectronics.net. They've got good prices. The lamp door is on the back. Its really easy, give it a shot.
The optical block is going bad. Contact Sony support and have your model and serial numbers handy. Sony sometimes warranties these even after the 1yr factory warranty.
check the lamp timer in the menu page of the projector.it it is more than 1500 hours, it can be the lamp
alternativly u may also check the optical engine as it may be covered with dusty , hence resulting in dull images
