I have a Sony Trinitron KV-27V42. Purchased in 1998. It just recently started acting up. My daughter went to turn it on and it won't come on at all. You can hear it clicking as if it is trying to, but nothing happens and the standby blinking red light keeps flashing 3 short, 1 long. It has been through a few major moves, been dropped in one of those moves and is 12 yrs. old. I feel like we got our money's worth out of it. We had a good run! A little sentimental b/c this was the first tv my husband and I bought and we paid cash. We were so proud of ourselves. LOL! Oh, the hair dryer thing did NOT work for me.
