I bought this TV set refurbished in August 2012, at a Sony Outlet store.
I have a couple of problems:
The main annoyance is with the first problem as it is intermittent
I haven't changed the main board yet, though I suspect that it's going to be the first thing that I'll do, as I don't think that the backlight is really at fault.
I do have the service manual for this TV and am busily poring over the schematics even though I'm not that familiar with electronics (though I do know what a capacitor is, and what it does…)
Anyone out there have any ideas how I can solve these “glitches”?
I have a couple of problems:
- Occasionally the backlight goes out occurs, picture does not appear but sound does. Shortly after that, the TV goes into standby mode and then get the 6 blink standby light diagnostic. If I remove power from the set and let it sit for a while (say one day) and then power it back on, then chances are good that it will start properly and I'll have a picture again.
When I power on the set in self-diagnostic mode (DISPLAY,5, VOL -, Power), the backlight error count goes up by one. - After the set has been turned off and then on again, the settings for TV source (reverts back to “Antenna” from “Cable”) and the channels will have disappeared (so I have to go through the setup again [30+ minutes] to pick up all the digital channels my cable company provides)
