I have a Sony Trinitron KV-40XBR700 and just this past weekend it started to shut off and on by itself as well. Not only that but the picture is blue and red, like there is no green. I have contacted Sony and their response was to contact a service dealer. The TV was manufactured in Dec. 2001 and I am guessing my grandfather purchased it in 2002 sometime so it is 5 years old at the most...I know he paid over $3000 for it and you are going to tell me it doesn't last longer than that. I have other TVs in my house older then that.

I have a Sony Trinitron KV35S26 that was working fine one minute and made a loud popping noise and went to standby. I turned it back on and the screen was blue for a couple seconds then made the same noise and went to standby. My guess was tube, but I have no idea. We went and bought a flat panel, figured the money to invest in an older tv wasn't worth it.

We have model# KV-40XBR800, and ours just recently started having similar problems, the tv will no longer turn on the standby light just keeps flashing, we bought ours I believe in 98 or 99 and paid well over a thousand for it, we are not sure if we are going to have it repaired or not, we were told to unplug it for awhile and then try it which did work once and that was it. This will be the second repair the first though being covered under warranty. I really like the picture on this tv but a flat screen is sounding better every minute. KrisJ

-sony,kv32xbr400 $3,000.00 digital? when we bought it in 2001. lasted 6years, that is $500.00 a year. the picture just went black...will be my last sony product....

My Sony 36" #KV36HS500 also took a crap had it for 7years and came home from work and would not turn on any ideas besides paying a repair guy to fix and to have it do it again, just not going to buy sony products anymore if they dont fix customer problems then why should we pay for their tv's

we have a sony 36", model number KV36XBR450, that was purchased new in july of 2002. it has been shutting off once in a while for the last 6 months. then today it shuts off about every 20 minutes and the color is overly red and blue. paid like 2000.00 for this when we bought it. this just plain is not right to pay that much and have it last 7 years.

My TV makes a staticky/crunchy/popping sound intermittently. Sometimes it lasts for hours and doesn't seem to matter how high the volume is. Sometimes it's days, maybe weeks in between when this happens. My husband read (or was told) that it was because of dust accumulating on a part in it and that the sound happens when it's burning the dust off. Sounds ridiculous to me. Have any of you ever experienced this and if so, what did you do? My TV is in a cabinet and takes two people to lift/move it. I'm sure my husband won't go for 'self-diagnosing' as some of you have - I'd be willing to if I could lift it without him knowing :-). But if you can give me a better reason than 'dust', he might be willing to try it. Thanks!

Hi there, I have a 32" sony trinitron with PIP TV set. It turned itself off 3 days ago. And I am not able to turn it on again any more. When I push the power button, I can hear a click sound. And the standby light flashes for few times. The TV is about 8 years old. I spent more than $1000 to buy the TV with a Sony Mini HiFi system. And now the TV doesn't work any more. I have a 21" RCA TV set for 20 years. And there is no problem with the RCA. Sony used to be the biggest name in electron products. But now, it looks like Sony is just garbage. If Sony doesn’t do anything to our Trinitron TVs. We should better not buy any Sony products any more.

same problem with kv-27642. The tv shut off suddenly and wont turn back on. Ser#4693830

Have a Sony Trinitron KV32FV300-Serial#4020460 Mfg 2002-Only 5 years old. Picture just died. Turn set on I have sound but white lines on screen and then it shuts it self off. Just paid $300 for TV repair. Said it was picture tube & video IC. TV played great for 2 hours then went dead again. This time no sound and white screen. TV repair man returning today. I probably should have dumped it and bought a new TV OTHER than SONY. Anyone have any clues what my problem might BE??
