Im having a problem with our Sony Bravia T.V. When we turn it on the light goes green but the tv stays black, no sound either. Cant turn it off with remote or on TV. The only way is by unplugging it.
Most likely the power supply board needs to be replaced. The fact that both the sound and picture don't work really points to that board.

If you don't know what you're doing, DON'T OPEN THE TV UP TO FIX IT, THERE ARE HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ON THE POWER SUPPLY BOARD, EVEN WEEKS AFTER THE TV IS UNPLUGGED!

If you don't know how to do it yourself, find some local Electronic repair shops, get quotes, try to find reviews on the shops.

What is the likely culprit to troubleshoot on a tv that will not power on and there is no standby light after a lightening strike in the area and fried Directv recievers and tvs?
Hi , it sounds as if the av board is probably fried but it probably did not stop there it may not be worth getting it checked out as that's just another bill to tell you its not worth repairing. Take time to think about it. But get it checked if you wish there is a lot of power in a lightning strike. It could fry one board and pass through the next as they are usually connected.

DVR keeps restarting / rebooting
Jay .. if you still have the receiver. heres what you do. reset the receiver and when the blue screen comes up saying "Hello your directv receiver is starting up" On your remote type in 0 2 4 6 8 .. then it should go to a screen saying "new software found" . Let it download the update.. That should fix the issue .. However if it doesn't then it could be the hard drive. The pcb board on them usually fries.. but that can be ordered too... let me know how this works... you can email me at [email protected]

Unit will not come on
I have had this htib for some time and almost all problems, even this one, can be remedied by leaving it unplugged for about 5 minutes, sometimes less. I've had this particular problem in the past and i believe it has to do with the system itself getting to hot. it needs to have lots of ventilation to keep within operating temperatures. You can try the unplug for 15 seconds to a minute trick for just about any electronics like this. Was given that bit of info while i worked as tech support for directv.

Stuck at "Welcome Powering UP"
It's most likely the drive. You can buy preconfigured kits or buy the software and hard drive and do it yourself.

You can send it out to CCS in Indiana and they'll test/repair what is necessary (if they can). Some of these units are very old and they aren't repairable, but they do their best and are very quick on turn around times.

DirecTV DVR Shuts Down and Re-boots Without Warning
With the DVR up and operating well I would lift up one corner about 1/2 inch and drop it to see if that causes it to malfunction. If it does, then you likely have one or more bad solder connections inside that need repair. If no change is noted, then it could possibly be defective capacitors or a voltage regulator going bad on you. There is also a possibility that it could be a worn recepticle the unit is plugged into, as a power interruption may be all it needs to reboot.
