Bulb may have popped. Cheapest fix, unless your an electrician it the only thing to really try before replacing set.

I want to be completely honest with you!"You will need a Projection TV repairman for what you have described to me.
But before you do ,if you can ,check to see if the cooling fan is coming on,if it is call someboby if it is'nt fix the fan,are you mechanically inclined? I can help you break the set down if you want. Thanks for asking! ,get back to me if you need to.

Hi,
It is lamp that need to be replaced.
Lamp is not generating enough light to present bright picture on tv screen.
Lamp replacement is easy and written in user manual of tv.
Please buy Sony original lamp for good picture result in tv.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

The number of flashes will tell me the fault, however non of the information will be good . That is when this happens it is always a money payaout for major type repair. Some component has an open circuit or a toatal board has copllapsed. Not a DIY either.

The first temporary test you could try is unplug it for 24 hours to see if it will restart. However this is usually tempory and may mnot turn on the next time either and even more damage will have possibly occur.ed.

Its possible that the ballast wich is what powers the lamp is defective.

It's the lamp. I do have an article on this in my Tips & Tricks regarding lamps, but replacing the lamp is a sure fix. I hope this was helpful, best wishes.

There is only one lamp in this model set. You can tell when its worn when the unit intermittently shuts down while watching or the picture is not as bright as it used to be. The lamp compartment is usually located on the right side of the unit, there you will see a small compartment door access. Remove the screws and the Lamp will be visible, you might see two screws on both sides of the lamp or a handle to just gently pull the lamp out.

Bulb light indicator flashes?Projection bulb use alot,an awile like about 1 or 2.The projection bulb must change it at end of it life cycles.

my tv powers up for about 1 minute and then shuts off what could be the problem,

You need a lamp. Pull it out and have a look. Inspect the burner area for damage. If you don't know what to look for, check out my Tips & Tricks... I have a tutorial on projection lamps published there. I hope this was of assistance, best wishes.

Mine was what I considered to be dark for quite a while--even after setting the brightness as high as it would go. Today the lamp went out. It just has to be replaced.

Hi , it seems you are experimenting a light engine problem.Here's how your tv works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLLHnQ4y-wo Basically there's 3 LCD chips that create the colors and image by blending together.When these chips start to melt you will get those blue spots, pixilation even vertical lines.You will need to replace the light engine. Have a blessed one!

Hi friend,,,
welcome to fixya

Commonly for Projection tv's if the screen went out,,the problem will be the CATHODE RAY TUBE,it is costly to buy.if you want you can buy it,,or it may be the D-board problem will be also,,,
but it is unusual,so check the tube.

if your satisfied with my solution PLEASE RATE IT

thank u...

How old is the TV?
I have the same problem with my Panasonic.
I took the back panel off and used compressed air to blow out the dust.
It is working better but still have the problem once in a while.
I also replaced the batteries in the remote. I also point the remote at 90 degree when not in use. If the remote is acting on it's own and can send on/off signal to the TV.
I have fewer turning/off/on problem now.
