Sony S - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Circuit diagrams of many popular brand TVs and other devices are given.

Go to settings and use anything other than wide option. Setting there - just look for it.

0261,0266,0200. Try these codes. If you wish to get more details; check the sites linked here. It has set-up code list & set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Common codes used for devices too are given, in the order of device brand name list in alphabetical order. Do a search by type in the brand name of your device, at its search box, and press "Enter". Or, pull up older posts. http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/

Some TV's can be connected to the internet and are then able to get software updates from the manufacturer. Look into that as a possibility.

it is located next to the power plug and if you have more than one tv in the house you will need to use a splitter

The Roku is the problem, not the TV. You need to go to the Roku site and request download information to synch the Roku to an HDMI input.

Count the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON. These are fault indications, called blinking codes. If you wish to get more details, check this site. Pull up older posts there. Check the site with patience, as it has over 2200 posts now. All are related to electronic equipment repair help. Blinking codes to Sony TVs are described in detail.

038,028,057,014 are the common setup codes for Sony television. If you want to get more details about setup codes and setup proceedings to different other brand remote controls, check this link. Look for codes to Sony. In most of the remote controls will have setup codes for Sony. Before selecting a remote control, check the digit number of code that your Sony Tv accepts. some of them accecpt 3-digits codes, others accept 4 digit, 5 digit and so on. You can get details to all by this site. Search it patiently.

You are discussing about the service mode setup procedure to this TV, I assumes. Check this to know more. Your TV model's service mode entry and other details are described in detail there.

try disconnection from source and unplug power also---HDMI can be touchy.

There's a good chance you have failing electrolytic capacitors either in the power section or the inverter section or both.
Any caps in these sections that look bulged at the top, or bulged/leaking at the bottom need to be replaced.
If you repeatedly turn it off and on, eventually it'll probably stay on, but every time you turn it off, the TV will get harder and harder to start up until one day it just won't.
Sometimes you have to do the opposite to start it up and unplug it for some time and then try again.

If you aren't tech savvy, don't worry, read the rest of this solution and watch the videos.

If you are handy with a soldering iron and can identify the power supply and inverter / FM section for the backlights, an inexpensive handful of capacitors will likely fix you right up.
Match the capacitance on the capacitors. Go over voltage if you can, and still have them fit.
IE - it's not a bad idea to replace a 10V cap with a 16V or 25V or even a 50V, but don't replace a 680uF cap with a 500uF or a 1000uF (unless you are positive it's only doing ripple filtering, and even then, you should go OVER, not under the uF rating).

Most of the caps that go are 10V 1000uF or 3300uF.

I found some great videos of the procedure (for many Samsungs with the same issue) on youtube.

As you can see, this issue spans plasma TVs, as well as large and small LCD TVs and monitors.
The parts are cheap, and skill required is minimal.
You can order the capacitors online from places like www.digikey.com and they are usually less than a dollar each. They have a flat shipping rate (here it's $8) and the parts arrive next business day.

This is a common fault as the set on ageing deteriorates in the connections. There is a high possibility that the components over a period of heating and cooling, tend to bring on a problem of dry soldering. So my advice is to check the set for some loose joints that have played on to give you these erratic shut downs or poor performance.

The best way to check for loose connections is to tap lightly when the set is powered on , If there is change while tapping then it seems that there are DRY solder joints. Remove main plug, the covers - with caution of high voltage, check for dry joints, use a good soldering iron to solder all suspected points.

Sometimes the fault occurs when the set warms up, if so you can simulate the heat using a hair dryer on the suspected areas, try with the power supply, distribution, Processor controller, driver controllers on the A/V related sections. Also the use a FREEZE-IT spray can simulate the components to cool and show up the fault.

Based on the above method you must be able to locate the area of fault and solder the sections. Sometimes large IC's- ones with more pins- tend to have drying in some pins and so cause faults related to the IC's protocol. Have a rough idea of looking into the areas to reduce the time of probing.

I hope that you have gotten this resolved, but if you have not, or if you have the problem again in the future, here are some simple steps for you!

1. Hold down the clear TV button until all lights light up at the top of the remote
2. Punch in a 3 digit code (provided below)
3. Press the # (POUND) button
4. Try powering the tv on/off, and the volume. If one or more of these functions do not work, start over from step 1 with a different code

Hello
Programmable code number for DVD/VCR [Sony] is _ 601 (Sony Dream System)
Programmable code for SAT/CABLE is _ 801 (Sony Satellite Receiver)
Above stated both codes are common for [SONY KLV-S19A10 _ KLV-S26A10 - KLV-S23A10 AND KLV-S32A10 compactable]. OK.
