Sony Trinitron TVs

"The Petition":

My family has a Sony Trinitron TV (Model Number KV-35V36) that was purchased in 1998. It too, like so many other of these TVs suddenly turned off and died. Over the years, we have bought many Sony products and have had little problems. However, this television "epidemic" is a major issue and one that must be dealt with and solved. Therefore, I propose this; ANYONE WHO HAS/HAD A PROBLEM WITH A SONY TRINITION TV, PLEASE POST YOUR NAME, MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER ON THIS WEBSITE, WHERE I WILL PLACE THEM ON A PETITION TO BE E-MAILED/MAILED TO SONY. They might be able to ignore one of us, but they can't and WILL NOT ignore all of us.
-Thank you

  I have had my Sony 40XBR800 for about six months. I bought it off a friend who had it since new in 2003. It is only 5 years old and about a week ago it started with the blinking stand-by light, no picture or sound. I hear the internals clicking like the picture will come on then nothing but the light blinking 7 times pausing and then repeating.
  
  What is very frustrating is that I have an old Sony Trinitron KV-27TW76 console floor model (27") which I bought new in 1992. I have literally traveled the world with it and it still works perfectly. It looks like Sony's quality has gone to crap. I don't think I will ever own another Sony after seeing this build quality.

  My neighbor bought her Sony Triniton KV-32S22 brand new and had it less than a year and she hardly ever watched it. She married and moved out of state so I bought it from her and moved it across the hallway. NO ISSUES with the move. It lasted 4 mos. and then just died. Sound yes, but no picture. What a piece of crap. Why does everyone one think these trinitons are so great. What a total waste of $350.

  My Trinitron turned off all of sudden. It's not new, maybe over 5 years old but still too early to die.

  Sony Trinitron KV-36FV15 bought for $2000.00 in Jan.2000
  
  Since June of 08" it blinks black every 6 - 9 seconds all the time, sound is good, except high pitch squeal at times. Contacted Sony, they have NOOOOOOOOOO customer service of any kind. Totally frustrated, can someone please help, if you know how to repair?
  
  Best advise is to NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy a Sony Product EVER EVER EVER again!!! Technicians have told me they are PRE Programed to die, that is; Sony wires them so they will burn out and die. Then, you will go buy another one and another one and another one.....etc Sony stays rich and we stay poor, guess they have a plan.
  Disgusted, fleeced and broke,

  My 32" Sony KV32V26 - just died after 6 years!!! it just stopped turning on one day - and I have not been able to figure out how to fix it. It just really makes me angry because I paid good money for this TV - this was before TV's became inexpensive!

  We are 100% Sony Device owners from PC to almost anything electronics and had never had any problems until my Sony KV-35545 quit on me. I tried to turn it on via remote and all i get is red light blinking.
  
  Frustrating needless to say.
