Hello, There are 2 small 1.5" fans that are located on the top right and left sides of the screen. These fans are of the non ball bearing type, so the bearings may be wearing out. You can either replace the fan or add a couple drops of oil to it. Remove the label on the back of the fan and put the oil there, it should quiet down. This will work for a while but eventually the fan will need to be replaced. Good Luck! Rich Lilja

If your TV seems to be darker than you think it should be, it is possible that the problem is with the light sensor. The light sensor will automatically adjust the picture brightness based on the ambient light that is in the room, (i.e. if the room is bright the picture will also be bright, if it is dark the picture will also be dark). To turn this feature off go to Settings > General Setup > Light Sensor.

There is an HDMI port on the Tv at the back. goto https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/42805/c/65,66/p/61659,63345,72702/ to find a picture of it. Best Wishes.

In the instructions for the TV when new, there is a description on how to fit the base which tells you the screw size and length. If you have not got this I suggest going the Sony's website and down load the instruction. Putting too long screws in can seriously damage your TV !

See the Sony Bravia Settings Menu. Usually set for Auto

The T-CON is the first thing I'd repair/replace. Well, maybe after checking the inverters, but that's a bit harder to do than to replace and see if it works.

how do other input sources work?(ie. DVD, VCR) if they are OK, the next thing is to double check your antenna & all connections to & from it, also the direction of the antenna. Also, remember that the location of said antenna is important, is it crowded by foliage, has new building sprouted around you, does it do it on all the channels. Usually this problem is from a source other than the TV. As a last resort you might replace the tuner, but I would be looking very closely at some of these other issues.

Could be a problem with the power supply or main board; might need a professional to investigate more.
