Picture & sound winks out for a few seconds every now & then

I have a Sony KD-34XRB960 that is still pretty much work perfect. However every week or two for a day the TV blacks out for just a few seconds, then when the picture and sound comes back on I see in the upper left Video 6 or 7 in my case, and in the lower left full for screen mode. some times the blink is so quick the picture and sound never go out but the Video 6 or 7 just pops up and the Full, for screen mode. It does this even when all components are unplugged. Seems the audio and video just drop out for a second. I really like this tv and it'ds been a loooooong time since I have worked on a TV, I am talking pre HD and earlier. Need some ideas as to what could be happening. I can simulate the problem by unplugging the device I am using, plug it back in and there is the Vidio and Full on the screen. Just like when I first power it up. I am not losing power though, at least not in the main power supply. Comments Welcome..

The main power supply regulator section circuit fault. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

SOURCE: sony wega wont power on. unplugged and tv fades on

It is likely the power supply may have faulty capacitors inside which is quite common.

SOURCE: Picture & Sound wink out for a few swconds every now and then

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy.

KD-34XBR970 CRT HDTV startup problem

This is a failure in the vertical amp section. One way to troubleshoot it is to get a can of freeze spray and use it on the suspect components. The other way is to inspect all the solder joints on the amp. Last would be to check voltages on the board. Since it does change with run time, it is being affected by heat.

My Sony KD-34XBR960 has no picture when power button is pressed.

This is often caused by a faulty transistor, they breakdown over a period of time and can continue to work by shcok treatment ( like unplugging etc) but eventually collapse. The srvice center for your Sony may repair it or replace the whole board to the video section. Its a Bravia so expect a pretty expensive callout, somewhat cheaper to take it to a technician in this case

How many times red light blinks when TV lost picture? There would be interval of 3 seconds in red light blinks so count pause to pause and let me know.

NO picture

You didn't say how old your set is, but if it has a picture tube, then this may be you trouble. I've seen several Sony's do this. I've had several come in to the shop and set and play for several days and then "wink" out! Sometimes, though, the high voltage circiut will shut down and the sound will still work. I would advise you to have it checked at a shop. If is very old you need to get an estimate. Stargazer
