A black rectangular black screen shows up but..... sony trinitron

hit menu button on your remote, navigate to channel setup menu. on the sub-menu, set channel fix to your channel that you require. now when your tv powers up this will be the default channel. if this doesn't fix your issue then try cycling through video inputs tv/video button on your remote.

That is closed captioning text mode you have on. Turn off in TV menu.

it could be one of the closed-caption settings. make sure the cc is off. if the problem remains, you may have tuner issues.

Ok. I think you'll need an IC or a PSU.

go in touch with SONY i assume ur set is still under warrenty.....call customer help and support

this means the TV having picture upper part of the screen. problem may be -15 V to vertical deflection ic suddenly gose off and system control gose to stand-by mode resolder vertical out ic , -15 v supply line from the fly back and system control .

The vertical output IC has failed/Power to the vertical IC is out/ or there is bad solder on the pins of the vertical output IC.

For the last week my TV has been going to a black screen for 10 seconds or so then the picture returns. It has been continual. Last night it stopped going to black screen, but now the standby light flashes 5 consecutive times and the color went haywire. A lot of red and everything that is suppose to be black is green.

I did a soft and hard reset with no success. What's wrong and is it worth fixing? Bought new in November 2002.

Hi, IK circuit is engaging which basically means the picture tube is getting tired, the only "fix" is temporary (may get another year out of it). You have to increase the "screen control clockwise".
Remove back of set, follow large black or red wire attatched to picture tube down to the flyback transformer, mounted on flyback are two black controls, one is focus (leave it alone) the other is "screen", adjust it clockwise approx. 1/4 inch, remember that this is a high voltage circuit so use one hand in the set the other hand out of the set at all times,any questions ? e-mail me back, good luck, BMW Rider

No picture, FR406 ok
Check the video output amplifier stage for failure
Display dead rest of functions ok
