I have had a similar problem for three years with my KV-35S66 (purchased 12/99). With my TV, I get no picture and the red LED flashes, but it doesn't cut out -- it will keep on blinking. Sound comes through fine.

My fix is to put a space heater right in front of the TV for an hour or two, then turn the TV on (or off and then on again).

It appears to be something in the electronics that needs to be warm to work properly (loose connection that expands when heated?). Once the TV is on , the TV stays warm enough to keep the picture (i.e., you can remove the space heater). I just leave the TV on constantly (it is in the basement and doesn't bother me, and my satellite displays a screen saver). TV is otherwise fine and the electric cost is much less than buying a new TV.

You could turn off and then heat up when needed, I suppose, but that takes some planning ahead.

I have a sony tv model kv-27v42 i have sound but no pictture and stand by light blinks what is the problem

How many times do this standby light blinks at a time of switch on? These blinks are fault indications. From the number of these blinks, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. Count it. If you wish to get more details about the blinking codes to Sony TVs, check this link.

Sony Wega Kv-36XBR250 screen blinking

I have seen this flashing before, this could be an indication that the picture tube is weak, what happens is that if the white balance is off there is a circuit called akb it monitors the kathode of each gun and if they are not in balance it will attempt to balance it out. if it can't the picture will begin to flash, sometimes in some models the power light will blink 5 times. On some models the power light will only flash if the tv gives up trying to compinsate for white balance and shuts off compeletely. If you see the tv shutting off with 5 blinks then you know for sure it is time for a new set.

Sony Trinitron Color TV KV-35V65 - No Picture, red light stand/by timer flashing

A reset won't fix this. The standby light should be blinking a repeated count with a 3 second pause inbetween. Post that count here. That will indicate the circuit/condition that is preventing the set from turning on.

Thanks,
Dan

Sony KV-27S42 not on but timer flashes

The blinking light means almost 100% that the high voltage circuit has failed. Probably need a new horizontal output transistor and flyback. Perhaps an associated resistor or diode. If you have the expertise go for it, otherwise take it to a professional. In any case be extremely careful and safe. Good luck.
