Top 10 Sony KDF-E50A10 50 in. LCD HDTV Questions & Answers

I have the kdf-e50a10 and I have thin vertical lines repeating the color spectrum all the way across the entire 50" screen. You can just barely make out an image through the lines. I'm thinking that replacing the light engine will resolve the issue. Someone also suggested the Q-Box. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

I've had the tv for less than a year, and just today when I turned it on, the colorful lines appeared across the entire screen. Last night it was working fine, and now all I hear is the fan running inside. Attached is a picture of what it looks like.
When I turn it on, the black screen is on for a while, and then turns to this. Nothing seems to work, menu, volume, channel, etc.

i have a sony kdf-60xbr950 in which the optical block is going bad. Sony is going to pay for the light but they want me to pay for installation. There is a door in front of the tv with two screws to pull out the lamp i was wandering is this how you change the optical block or do you have to go to the rear to remove the part. I have a Sony KDFE50A10 with a bad optical block. A small red band across top of set has turned into a 6 inch wide band with a small blue band below it. I was told the repair would cost $1145. This set purchased in Sept 05. Problem began in Dec of 07.Not that many hours on it. Sony has told me that they will not help me on repair as set is out of warranty. Needless to say, will never buy a Sony again.

My KDF-E50A10 works great, until it turns itself off every 5 min. The green light blinks 44 times, every time, and then it comes back on as if nothing happened.

I have a Sony KDF-E50A10 LCD Projection TV, and it doesn't seem to want to turn on. The TV seems to atempt to turn on (the power/standby light blinks green for about 4 seconds) after this, the light turns to red and blinks 4 times then stops and then blinks 4 times again. The power/standby light continues to blink red for 4 times until it is unplugged. I have replaced the lamp, and still no change. Before I spend a bundle on service calls I thought I'd see if there were any ideas that may help solve this little problem of mine.
