Hello,

Ur power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics’ and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your tv power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement. Hope this will help...

i have the same problem does your screen go black and have a bunch of white dots on it as well?

I had this same issue, and solved it by putting the TV in "Theater Mode', which can be acheived by hitting the "Theater" button on the remote.

The T-con board,the board that sit right at the bottom right in the middle of the center LCD panel.That board is dying.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish T-con board for the replacement.

Information from Sony:
Audio Output Error (6X)
There are three possible failures that can cause a 6X protection mode, and they are as follows.
• Short Audio Amplifier Outputs
• Lose of 15V Supply
• Lose of 9V Supply
The key to determining what to check first is if audio is heard before the TV shuts OFF.
If audio is heard before the TV shuts OFF, then the next step is to check the 15V supply at CN7503/pin 1. If the voltage is missing replace the G1/G2-Board. If the voltage is present, first check the fuse PS7001 for a possible easy fix. If the fuse is OK replace the AU-Board.
If no audio is heard before the TV shuts OFF check for 9V at CN9502/pin 1.
If the 9V is missing replace the BU-Board. However, if the 9V is present check and confirm that the protection circuit output voltage is making it to the Main Microprocessor IC1001/pin 26. If 2.8V is present at IC1001/pin 26 then the Main Microprocessor is defective. Replace the BU-Board. If the voltage at IC1001/pin 26 is 0V then the audio output circuit has actually failed. In this case, replace the AU-Board. A shorted audio output or a DC voltage level measure across the audio output will cause a 6X protection mode indication. In either case the problem will exist in the audio circuitry on the AU-Board.

Count the blinks, its an error code. Check the manual or call a Sony service center.

Does it look like the bands in the picture? it is defective panel.

There is a software update for this model to correct this. You can contact Sony directly and they will send it to you OR if you have a USB thumb drive handy, you can do it yourself by visiting the support section of the Sony eSupport website. There you can search by model number and download the update and view the instructions on how to apply it to the TV. It's not a difficult process, but it is a process never the less. I hope this was helpful, best wishes.

Reset ur sky box,by unplug,replug it an hour later,let the box bootup,and upgrade it software should be back to normal.Not than ur remote CPU is shorted,some of the functions are dead.

Your PC has an audio output jack it is a 1/8th inch stereo jack. Your TV has a PC audio input connection (usually RCA jacks red and white). You need a cable that can connect the two together. It will look something like this:

Most likely this is a bad CCFL inverter. These go bad a lot ion these sets.

You may want to try a signal booster,or a different arial.Not sure if your old CRT or arial was digital ,but you should have a tools button on your remote or a diagnotic option in your menu that will show signal strenght.I have a Terk HDTVo.It is a small bomarang shaped antenna that pics up stations 50 miles north (direction it is pointing)and the only issue is when storms roll thru.I have added a motorola 484095-001-00 signal booster and that has solved most of the issues with the farthest stations plus added a few more from different directions.You could also add a antenna and if your original arial is run with coax just use a diplexer to combine the signals.Well hope this helps and good luck.

I don't know if this will help. If you are using a cable box or satellite receiver they too might have a format, zoom button, or view mode. It seems like they all have different names for them.Good luck.

I also have the same problem and was wondering if you ever found out the answer to this problem Peter?

The KDL-40V2500 TV is not compatible with the Netflix. The Netflix compatible TVs are listed below. KDL40W5100 KDL40XBR9 KDL40Z5100 KDL46W5100 KDL46W5150 KDL46XBR10 KDL46XBR9 KDL46Z5100 KDL52W5100 KDL52W5150 KDL52XBR10 KDL52XBR9 KDL52Z5100 KDL65W5100

Junk,not worth repairing,only good for electronics parts.Tv companies the only place can buy LCD Screen.The have limitted LCD in stock in production,don't sell them out cheap.
LCD screen replacement is the same as a new tv.Even exeed after part and labors.

I also have a 2 yr old Sony KDL32xbr4 that now has multi-colored vertical lines on the screen. I contacted Sony and they say they have "no known issue" of this sort for this model. I find this rather puzzling since I have found numerous postings on the web. They told me to try the factory reset. Whatever. Might as well have said "don't buy a Sony". 2 years! $1300 for a tv and it lasts 2 years! Makes me sick to my stomach.

If just the plastic screen is cracked, and it hasn't affected any of the LCD screen underneath, you could take a stab at removing it.

I would not recommend it, though. In order to access that panel, you have to remove the back, remove the boards and free up the panel. As it is, the LCD panel is one sealed piece, and getting at that sheet of plastic would be nightmarish.

Now, if by cracked you mean that you have cracked areas of the screen, showers of pixels, whole swaths of black and white and other colors. You know, that kind of beautiful sparkle that can only be made by the flying WiiMote, then you need to replace the LCD panel. And for your 32"--given the cost of replacement--the repair would not be worth the expense.

If you can open LCD Tv than refit all connector of Mother Board

Go to menu reset ur picture setting back to factory setting.Should work,don't use wide option in the tv funsction again.Ur Main tuner signal board have problems.
