I have talked with several people either in person or online. I have consistently gotten one of three “solutions”. 1.) If the inside of the cabinet is dusty is causes damage to the circuits. Solution: Clean the cab and find/replace the bad circuits. I don’t have the testing equipment so I would have to take the television to the repair shop and pay an amount about the same as a new TV. 2.) There is a broken solder somewhere. Solution: same as solution #1. 3.) The picture tube in the Trinitrons from year “X” (insert the year your TV was made here) are crap and am lucky it lasted as long as it did. Solution: What until the sun has set, put the television into your vehicle (make sure the suspension can handle the load), find a business that has dumpsters large enough to accommodate a piece of s**t that large, and gently put the TV into the bottom of the dumpster by hurling that 800 dollar raping (compliments of Sony) with enough force to insure it reaches terminal velocity before it reaches the steel floor of the dumpster. Quickly leave the scene, curse profusely all the way home, and swear to never buy anything from Sony again. My Trinitron is still in my living room. I just can’t bear to junk it until I know for sure that I can’t fix it or have it fixed for a feasible amount of money. I have talked to a lot of people about this and so far I haven’t come across any favorable solutions. I just can’t bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on a disposable television. Good luck to you and I am still open to any suggestions or possible solutions. THANX!
