This sony kp 61v80 made in 1999 was working fine. Then I went to turn it on and nothing happened. No picture, sound , or any indication it's plugged in except the light. The standby light stays lit the second I plug it in. It never flashes and just turns on the second I plug it in and stays lit. No response to any buttons on the Tv or the remote. Anybody have any ideas to save me from this insanity ?
Ok, I took the back panel off. About center front of the circuit board is a 3 legged chip # d2578 9f4. Behind the metal heat sink is a little blue 2 legged guy. It smokes when I plug the TV in for a couple secs then stops smoking. Could it be this needs to be replaced or something else is loading it up ? Hopefully this helps someone help me 8-)

can u get the TV on at all if you use the remote function?
Hit DISPLAY, 5, Volume -, and then power in succession. I was having the same problem, but TV should turn on at least and give you some error codes.
Not the smoking problem though. Just no picture or sound

Ok, hitting those buttons does nothing to the TV. I, however, did get an extention cord and plug it in while I could see the light. It does flash once, then stays lit.
