Hi,
I recently moved this tv from one house to the next and when I plugged it in, the picture did not come on, but the sound was fine. the stand-by light is continuously blinking but the screen is black? It was cold outside and the tv was outside for awhile, would that have anything to do with it? Please help, would hate to throw it away...

- I just am using a coaxial directly from the wall into the vhf plug, do I need to use the color input holes?

I have a 20inch. Samsung it is 2yrs. old. One day my son turned it on and and we only got volume. He had a play station 2 that he used on it. We also have had direct tv and charter cable. Would any of these connections hinder the TV picture from showing? If not I have unplugged all extra attachments to the television and I still cannot get a picture. When trying the setting from menu the come up on the TV and I can make changes and still I can't see any thing but a black screen. Please help!-   maat

Interestingly, I just had the exact same problem last night. Let me know if you figure it out. Actually, I got the picture to show up one time. But other than that it seems like it might have something to due with the connection to the tube. Using car terminology, is it almost like the picture tube won't "turn over"? That's what I'm experiencing. I will let you know if I find anything

it seems that your tv has a problem in horizontal circuit (with sound but no pictures). since you moved your tv from one place to another, the tv might have shaken causing to loose some soldered components particularly in horizontal circuit. if u have exprience in this stuffs, try to resolder the circuit, if not, bring it to a service technician.

I had the same problem with the same TV. The pic would come on and then go black on its own or when the side of the case was touched. I took it to a certified Sony repair shop...they had it for a month and got it to show the problem only once in their shop; thus, they could not provide a diagnosis. They claim they haven't ever heard of this problem before, but obviously its happened to many others as well. Long story short, I took the TV back home and haven't had any trouble since (who knows???)

I have the same prob. almost! no picture just sound. Standby light blinks for ever, on my sony kv35s66.. temp. fix is remove back cover, lossen plastic clip that holds the large circuit board on the bottom left as you face tv from the rear. Move the bd. out 4 " then slam it in(hard).. picture will come on but will fail again (intermitten) To have some on try to fix it$$$$$. and they probably won't. again this is only temp still working on the problem..

If you moved the set you have to open the back of the set. and check all the boards, maybe one came off, press the boards in place, also connections may got loosen.

The light is flashing a fault code, count the number of flashes (ie blinks 3 times and then pauses) then search the internet, there is more than enough information. Just search Sony LED blinks/flashes. As you have moved the telly this could have also loosened a poor joint inside, stopping the telly working properly. No dont put the aerial cable into the video sockets, you had it right the first time.

If you have cable or sattelite, you probably use those wires that attach to those coloured input holes. If you didn't put the same wire colour as the inputs, that might be why it dosen't work.

No you don't have to use the input holes. I just recommended this solution because if it's not plugged into the right hole, you have sound problems. If yours is not working, then probably you have the wrong attachment.

No I haven't had any luck at all, it seems that the only way to fix it is to take it to a repair shop, which is easier said than done in Telluride, Co. Good luck...

I had a similar problem with a TV a few years ago, whereby the coaxial connection was damaged. I used the RCA jack inputs instead and it worked fine. Hope that it is something simple like this!
