Faint red blotches on the screen of my 52inch sony wega

I have faint red blotches on the screen of my 52 inch Sony wega. We only clean with a soft damp cloth and never use chemicals. Could it possibly behind the screen? Can this be fixed or do I have to replace the screen? A friend told me a tech took his screen of to clean the dust off from behind his screen, but he didnt have a problem with red blotching.

If this is the model with a light engine, then there lies your problem. Your filters in the engine are burning up. The light engine will need to be replaced. If this is an older model with the 3 tubes you might be able to adjust your red green and blue tubes to get the picture back in good standings. Please keep in mind when asking questions to include both the make and model number. This will help us help you more efficiently.

I have the exact same problem. I believe we need Part # MLT386X PCB according to the other posts. It's around $179.

I turn the tv on and the tint is off and I can't get it fixed. A friend told me it could be my vidoe card. Is that true?

Thanks Rob

Sony wega engine green light blinks and then flicks red then trips


If your Sony Wega will not turn on, the front green light blinks, you hear a faint whirring sound and the green light turns red and flashes, it probably means the lamp inside the set is no longer working. If you noticed the screen beginning to dim in the preceding days or weeks, this most likely is the cause.

Sony wega kdf42we655 won't turn on...green light blinks, faint whirring sound, (fan?),then nothing...red blinking

Did you notice if the screen has been recently going darker if so the lamp has gone.You can check it by removing the lamp and looking at it you will see a grey smoked area or even the lamp mount broken inside the lamp.

Burn-ins?

It sounds like your light engine is on it way out. I would have this verified by a service center. Very costly to replace. They will probably try a new lamp first.
