Sony kdl-46s4100 power up slow

[Sevenqi]

Sony kdl-46s4100 LCD TV, everything works well, but it takes much longer (10 - 15 seconds) to boot up when press the power button, I think the normal boot up time should be around 2 to 4 seconds. I checked the power board and it looks good, no visible bad caps. Not sure where to do next.

Have you compared this to another one? Or has it just gotten worse?
I know of some Samsung models to take a good bit to load up.

It can be normal. I think you should be concerned if it starts taking a minute to power up. I have encountered some TVs that take 10~15 seconds, especially Toshiba TVs.

10-15 Seconds is not too long for a Sony.

Check Sony's site for any software updates for that model.
