If you see a neon light in the crt board and it lights up is because the green picture tube is arking inside,the light is supposed to do that and is why is there,the only way to correct the problem is by replacing the picture tube and it can be costly sometimes,there is another way but this will not take care of the problem for good,it might go away for a while but it might return,is hard to tell if it might work,what you need to do is lift the set from the ground about 3 inches and drop it,sometimes just by doing it once it works ,other times it takes more than once,do not over do it or something else might break,is an option you dont have to take and you still have the option to replace the tube.Let Us know how it goes or if you need more information.

my tv come in wide mode

yes..that would make sense..the cable is getting dried out, and has less conductivity when it's hot or warm..that's not unusual

i elieve from what ican find the screen is held together the same as a car windshield(black stickyspoge adhesive) you may have to pull off!!.....or there may beaway from inside ...remove black backin off(only top section)look for screws to remove....you may have to remove screws as well as pull off

sounds like bad CRT, some of these sonys have had defective CRT issues, usually all will come and go sooner or later (all 3 bad), you can pull the speaker grill off(either 2 1/4" screws on bottom or 6 1/4" on back sides) and pull off the Crt box cover (2'X3' piece) and lightly tap the CRT's with tv on, if they flare or get colored streaks in pix they are bad, CALL SONY 800 # and complain, also could adjust G2 (Screen control for color) for short patch. Will need new crts.

in menu(button on remotr) ,,scroll right to audio ..scroll down to speaker and turn them off!

I had the same problem except blue lines then all blue..I needed a blue crt tube..........so I'm assuming you will need a green crt tube

I would not advise you to do any service to your tv if you are not experienced. there is high voltage in there and there is alignment procedures to do after installing the tube. It is best to order the original service manual they have a step by step replacement guides in them.

if you remove backing you can reach in and up if your small enuff and clean without taking it off but if you want to take i suggest getting another pair of hands or 2 and while their holding screen you take off screws directly behind screen

u and i both need blue crt tube.i also need convergence fix...u probably will as well .just had repairman over and tubes will be hard to find ...unreal tv is only 4 yrs old /03

SIX Blinks---No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately. Check C515 & 516 and the jungle IC, IC206

malfunction of the convergence ics

The panel just pulls forward to expose the inner CRT cover. If youy have the faint blue lines that appear especially when there is an absence of video on the screen, the adjusting of the blue CRT control is a VERY temporary fix. It indicates the blue CRT is shorting out internally and that the red and green might not be too far behind. The bad news is 2 of the 3 CRT's are no longer available.

the # is written on the ic itself stk----

convergence ic stk---

You have a bad picture tube, no way to sugar coat this one, Sony had issues with all 3 tubes in your model set, more bad news, that green tube is "no longer available" from Sony, tried to order one about 2 months ago for a customer of mine, only the red tube is still available. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
