The set has been acting up in the last few months, I have never had a repair on this since I bought in 1995 other than a cleaning. It first started with losing the color, the picture would go to black and white and then come back in a few minutes, off and on. Now, about a month after that, after watching it for about 2 hours the picture totally disappears. Tried to turn it off and on and would not turn on. Waited about an hour and tried again. It went on for about 10 minutes. Left it off for the night. Turned it on in the morning, now it is working and has been for about 20 minutes. Is this a sign of the bulbs going? Can I get replcements if that is the problem? Is this something else? I would appreciate anyone's ideas since I would prefer not to have to buy a new set yet.
Thanks
First Replace IC301 CXA1477AS on the M Board Make sure to BUY a Original SONY CXA1477AS Part # 8-752-063-50 DO not usa a cheap Aftermaket !
Thank you very much. I will give it a try.
