Sony Bravia rainy picture and no color

As of now I can only see in white and black and the picture is very grainy. When I show the menu it shows it's normal bluish colors, but no matter the source of the picture it will NOT show color.

The TV was working fine, it is connected to a battery back up and all of the sudden it "crashed" and the screen went all haywire. I had to power down the battery as it was not responding. Powered back up and there is no color. Tried resets and leaving it off for a while.... I guess I need it replaced?

It sounds like to me it is the Main Unit. Some of them are called BU Boards but they vary with Model number. This Board processes the Video before it gets to the LCD Panel. It also has most of the Logic and Microcontroller Circuits on it. So if it did not want to react to any commands, I think this is where your problem is. I would call Sony at 1800-222-SONY to see if they could help you find a Service Facility to assist you. They may even be willing to help with the repair.
Hope this helps,

Sony Bravia with Phillps dvd player

The DVD player may have multiple output formats that can be displayed. Sounds like you have the composite output selected when you have the component output selected on the DVD player. Check the menu options on the DVD player and confirm they match the way you have the player connected

Lg 32lc2r, only showing picture in black and white

Make sure that the color control level is set to the default or 50% to start with. This should be in the Video menu.

The colour for the tuner and for the encoded base-band video uses a circuit area called the colour demodulator. It is possible that this cirucuit area has failed and needs servicing.
