Hi
My Sony TV widescreen is only 3 years old and is just out of warranty. When I turn it on the sounds comes on for about 8 seconds with no picture. The TV turns itself off and then the standby led light flashes red and then green. Do you know what is causing this fault and how much should it cost to repair?
Could you recommend a company that will come out and fix it? I live in Kent -DA13
Four blinks - No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted. Check IC1509, Q1505. The problem could also be due to a bad capacitor or other component in the sweep power supply that feeds the voltage to the vertical circuit. If you have no TV repair experience, please play it safe and call in a pro to assist you in this repair. Good Luck, and keep us informed of the repair.
