LG Z42LC6DF 42 in. HDTV LCD TV Logo
Posted on Jun 21, 2009

I've connected my laptop to my 52" sony bravia before and everything worked fine. Recently friend changed my desktop background and then knocked s-video connection lose and when i reconnected i keep getting "invalid format" on my tv. Sounds works since i'm using separate audio cable but S-video no longer works. Changed cables and same issue.

    could be possible that the s video on laptop or tv was damaged. if it worked before i'm assuming it wouldn't suddenly be a driver issue?

It must be the s video where you plug it in or a missing driver from your computer/tv

Why no sound when I connect Sony Vaio to Sony Bravia LCD,perfect picture?

You have to set the playback device on your Vaio to the TV instead of the laptop. You can do this in the Windows control panel under "Sound"

HDMI INPUTS DON'T WORK

It sounds like your set needs servicing. Are the other inputs working? HDMI port failures are indicative of a problem with the main board.

I bought an hp laptop and a sony hdmi cabel so i could be able to use my laptop on the lcd sony bravia tv. i connect my ps3 as well on the hdmi ports. at first everything was fine. no it doesnt work. i...

if you constantly change between one type of unit to another. say between your ps3 and another type of device then you could have worn the connector on the hdmi socket. it may need to be replaced. thats the best I can do. we have a bravia but dont change connections at all because it can cause many issues over extend use especially if youre changing devices whilst the set is on, as this can interfere and damage the internal circutry which may have shorted out the hdmi circuits.

Sony bravia kdl-52w3000, turn tv on, no picture or

Most likely this is caused by a defective main board. Changing the main board will fix the issue about 95% of the time.

To be absolutely sure, the voltages need to be checked on the power supply. If they are not the values listed in the service manual, then you should replace the power supply instead (accounts for the other 5% of the time).

DVD Does not work when using HDMI from Philips TV to Bravia

You could see if they will exchange just the unit and save both of you the hastle of checking and repackingit all. It does sound like the unit is faulty.
Or if your Bravia has more than one HDMI input then try on another, or a friends tv if you know some one with a HDMI tv in working order.
