Re: Sony kdl 40s20l1 (2006) blacks out.
Back on this thread to close it out. I was able to return the TV to Costco as I bought it before they shortened the return policy on tv/computers.
I am a receipt saver so lucky on that one.
I'll jump back here if some other repair pops up, seems like a real friendly forum.
See ya.

Re: Sony kdl 40s20l1 (2006) blacks out.
I was running it on the lower power settings & it turned off (black screen) then tried to turn itself on 4 or 5 times until it finally stayed on.
This is something slightly new I guess.
I'll try to shoot a video next time it happens.

Re: Sony kdl 40s20l1 (2006) blacks out.
Thanks for the posts,
I am now trying to run the tv at lower power by turning down the backlight, brightness, etc to see if it'll run cooler & longer between shut down.
On "full bright etc" it's shutting down about every 20 min for a few sec's only.
The shut downs are shorter now that when I had it closed into the entertainment center in the other room.
Maybe a good fan cleaning?

I will read those threads soon, meanwhile there is a distinct click when it comes back on.
On mine there are no flashing light codes, the green power light goes off (when it blacks) and comes on when it powers up again.Last edited by froggy47; 10-22-2012, 01:15 PM.Leave a comment:

Sony kdl 40s20l1 (2006) blacks out.
I searched, no luck so far.
The tv was in a cabinet in fam room (heat?) and would go black for 3 sec to 30 sec & then come back on with no control touched.
I got a new (replacement) tv & moved the problem tv to my office now to trouble shoot.
Hooked up today & signal from set top box hdmi, works fine so far. The tv is in the open, no cabinet.
Before it was signal from rgb conn but I don't think that should matter.
I will post if/when it blacks out again.
Looking fwd to learning on the forum, I...Last edited by froggy47; 10-22-2012, 11:46 AM.
