Re: Sony Bravia KDL-40S5100 No Picture, No sound, No Backlight,

I put in the -11 and the TV works great now.

I went with the -11.

Now i'm just hoping it is only a bad main board.

I guess i'll find out soon.

Thank you, Jim.

I was going to order the same exact board that i had in the TV, the -12,
but i seen that the -11 was much cheaper on ebay and started questioning which one i should get.

The -12 was $135, while the -11 was $65.

Thanks for the replies and sorry for the long absence. Other hobbies and lack of money kept me from pursuing the fixing of my tv.

I was just going to order another Main Board, since that is most likely the problem, since i get power and cannot get any sound or video.

This led me to another problem though. looks like someone else had the same issue as i might be having now.

I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40S5100. Before TV died the HDMI inputs would stop working during certain thunderstorms. But after unpulgging the TV for Awhile the TV would be back to normal.

There was one storm that the TV did not make it through. It also killed the HDMI output of my PS3 and Comcast cable box.

The power does come on. The green power light does come on. The Backlight does not though.

I have tested the Volts on the power supply board where the main board and the inverter board are connected and have gotten the correct voltage.
