36 inch flat screen picture tube Sony WEGA TV. Stand by lights flash - but TV will not turn on. Occasionally, if you wait 3-5 days, set will turn on. Then we can use it till someone forgets or we have a power outage, then the problem starts all over again. Currently, have gone a week without power - and it still wont turn on (except for standby lights).
Have tried both remote and main power button. Same negative result.
Outlet checks out.
Pull the back Off Disconnect CRT board connected at End of picture tube then turn set on and see if it comes on with volume, high voltage you can feel front of tv for static elect.... Let me know what happens then i can tell you what is wrong with TV.

Thank you. Am not home right now, so will be a few days till I can try this out.
Hi. Set is at my parents house. I will try your solution in a few days. Found out what you likely already know, that TV has diagnostic built in - six flashes from standby light then repeats. Assuming on-line source is correct - six is for - No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately. Check C515&516 and the jungle IC, IC206. Does this help - or still need to wait till I try your test first. Thanks.
Oops - had parents recheck (six didnt sound right) - they verified count three times and found that the blinking pattern repeats at seven not six - sorry for the earlier email. Seven, if you believe the web stands for
High voltage shutdown. The high voltage has exceeded 33k and the unit goes immediately into safety shutdown. Check power supply regulation and horizontal circuits.
Thoughts ?
Mine happened at about the same time Dec. 28th-30th.
I am getting intermitten 6 somethimes 7 blinking stand by lights...
I read there maybe an IC board I need to replace... Where would I go to find out? Sony?
