My Sony tv KV-27542 has all of the sudden stoped working no picture or sound, it sounds like it is turning on but then shut off within seconds, I know the manual says to call local service which I don't have. Just wondering if any knows what is wrong before I take the thing in for fixing or just but a new one?
It was given to me so I'm not sure perhaps 5 or six years old
This set may have a shorted horizontal output transistor and/ or a bad flyback transformer. On a 27" TV set that is 5 years old, most likely would not be worth putting any money into it, but if you wish to take a chance, take the set to a pro and get an estimTE AS THERE ARE NO USER REPLACEABLE PARTS INSIDE THESE TV'S.
thanks thats what i thought
