Hey hoping I could get some help. Don't worry this isn't a rant about how Sony's rep isn't that great or their TVs are overrated or whatever.
This morning I went to turn on my TV and it stayed on for about 5-10min before randomly shutting off. The screen went black, but the fan(?) stayed on for a little bit after, as it sometimes does.
I then powered off the TV and turned it back on, it did the same thing again, but this time I didn't power it down. The screen stayed black and the green 'Power' LED continued to blink before turning red. I then uplugged the TV from it's surge protector let it sit for a few minutes and turned it back on.
Now it seems to be OK. I'm wondering if this might be an early warning sign that something is about to break or if it was just a fluke. I've had this TV for about 2yrs and have experienced no problems other than the slow start up and shut down times which are typical with this model.
The only bummer is I purchase this from Circuit City, which is as we all know no longer in business. Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Just an update I took the bottom part of the case off to see if I could see anything unusual... not that I know what would be unusual, but didn't see anything.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem. Some internet users say replace the bulb and some say replace the fan. Have you found anything new?
