KV-34XBR800 Not Turning On
 

I've got a Sony KV-34XBR800 that's just about four years old.
Suddenly, when I go to turn it on, the standby light blinks, but the
picture and audio never comes on. The standby blinks in sets of six,
other times in sets of seven.

Then sometimes I'll try to turn it on sometime later and it works fine.
Intermittent.

Any ideas/suggestions?

It's about at the end of its warrantee, and my extended warranty from
MackCam is suddenly revealed to be a joke, so I'm hoping this is a
minor matter.

Most common would be a regulator IC, but there are a number of possibilites.
You need a Sony ASC who is familiar with these sets to diagnose and repair
it.

I have a 34' Sony HD CRT, forgot which model number, but this has
happened to me also. I called the tech who calibrated my set and he told
me to never shut the set off with the power button on the set itself, to
just use the remote. When the problem you described occurs, he said to
simply unplug the set for about 5 minutes and then plug it back in. The
tv then works correctly. I've followed his advice and this works for me.
Give it a try and let me know if this solves your problem. He told me
this is a common problem with Sony HD CRT's.

I have seen this scenario several times. I am not sure why using the remote
makes a difference, but it seemed to with the last one that I had in the
shop. Turned out to be one of the the regulator contol ICs. Eventually the
sets would not start up at all.
