SONY KV-29LS60B Trinitron, bought in 2002, went off (14 blinks - some M-board block to be replaced) WEEK AFTER the end of warranty period. The new block (with a cost of half of the new TV price) went off(again the same 14 blinks) FEW WEEKS AFTER it's warranty period (6 months). Repair center refused to try to repair anything, just suggested to install again new block, again the half TV price. After my refusal, just by accident I've turned TV on and from that day it was working for few months. Later it again went dead(again 14 blinks). Being left unused for 2 years, time by time it was working for few hours and only currently it again pretends to be broken almost all the time - 14 blinks means that the M-board must be changed. Here only authorized SONY repair center can do that but they say it will take a lot of time and more than half of new (LG) TV price and instead are suggesting to buy new, not SONY, TV. Honours to SONY engineers(to design the electronics to stop working immediately after warranty)! Shame on SONY services in Lithuania not being able to use such "advantages" of SONY...
