I have a 19 inch Sylvania TV that will only stay on a couple minutes and then the picture and sound go out. Sometimes it stays out so long that the TV actually shuts off on its own.
Intermittent problems are the toughest to track down, but usually have one of two root causes. Cold solder joints are an intermittent contact between where a component (transistor, etc) is mounted to the circuit board and the electrical contacts of the board itself. The other cause is components which break down under heat. Either way, if your not much on troubleshooting, have a TV shop service it, it can be easily repaired.
Depends on what shop finds. Personally Id get $50 for fixing something like this, but not all shops are so honest, if you know what I mean. Some shops will give an estimate before actually making the repair.

It can be a couple things. Something bad on the power board. Or the vertical output circuit. How long ago did you purchase the television. Your best course of action is to have it serviced. If you need any information or other assistance let me know. Thanks, Lee
This is inverter or backlighting problem. Can you try switching it on and off quickly for a couple of times and tell me if these '2 seconds' get any longer'. If picture stays longer and longer before shutting down, one lamp needs replaced-if not, please replace inverter board
All symptoms in your TV shows that you need to replace its Lamp as it has been consumed its life hours and TV requires new lamp. Lamp can be obtained from Sony Website. Price is $200, Hope this info will help you to enjoy your Sony TV in coming days.
It sounds like your rptv lamp is going out. If this is an older DLP this is most likely the cause. You can get a replacement at www.laptopsforless.com part number BP96-00224J for $151. If the tv is still under warranty, I would have them do it, otherwise replace it yourself. If so here is a link to give you step by step instruction. Please give me a good rating. ;-)
Thank you for your help Mark, is that expensive?? Would I be better off buying a new one?
