New member here. I hate starting out with a problem, but I'm really bugged about this.
New TV bought 3mo ago, still under warranty. Thought I'd ask before calling service.
When I power on my TV, the power LED flashes continuously (green light) for about 60 seconds. Then, it remains lit and the TV goes from black to vertical color bands all across the TV. The color bands remain on the TV screen.
I do plan on calling the Sony Service guys and have it looked at. I just wanted to see if any of you had any experience with this sort of thing.
Thank you for any replies, oh yea, hi there, thanks for having such a forum to ask questions and lean from.

Hey Scott, thanks for joining the forums here at techlore.com. You really must go and explore all the great articles and the site, and all that is available to the members for free! On your problem with your Sony TV set, It sounds like you have a problem in the LCD panel or the LCD panel driver board. This is for sure something to check into right away if it is still under warranty. Please give us all here the heads up when you find out the problem you have with your set. Good Luck.
I sure will. Thanks for the reply. I hope this isn't an indication of the problems with HDTV (it was like going to the dentist for me to buy an HDTV). :-)
Scott, the HDTV has nothing to do with your problem. It's the fact that there are problems, same as regular TV sets, with LCD TV set's. If there is an extended warrantee available BUY IT!.
Well, the sony technicians brought my TV back. He told me it was a "video Q" circuit.
What exactly is a "video Q" circuit?
