Good picture. My family of six has had it on practically all day every day for everything from gaming to streaming movies. Never had a problem. We just decided to upgrade to a smart flat screen TV this year with tax money and I have no idea how much my old Sony is worth! Please help!!

you are experiencing one or more of three things
1.the crt itself is damaged
2. the vertical ic on blue crt board is bad
3. the focus block is bad
if you hire a sony authorized technician they should be well aware of this problem.

Here's a shortcut to what the blinking codes mean.

Strange how some people have 5 blinks. Most with this problem have 8 blinks (like myself)
I still have the blue-flash-then-shutting-off problem.. (8 blinks meaning voltage error) but I did fix the blue lines.. The lines across the screen can be very easily fixed whether they're blue green or red. . No, I mean REALLY easy. Took me longer to get the cover off. Once the front cover is off it takes 10 seconds. This link was also posted recently in one of the posts below as a solution..

(My lines didn't look like the ones in the picture mine were several evenly spaced blue arcs)
After some research I believe the flash/shutting off problem means the CRT is going. I've also read that it might be the D-board and I'm not even sure that that is... But If it is indeed the CRT then I'll let you know it's very difficult to find a replacement blue CRT as this part has been discontinued.. but I did eventually find an alternate to an alternate part (yes that's the 3rd alternate !)) online for $256.

If you're bold enough to attempt that then good luck and please let us know if it worked.
Or another alternative is there's a whole lot of Boxing Day sales goin' on right now.

Yes, I used to work in Best Buy and one of the key things about rear projection TVs and the reason they push those service plans on you is that the tubes/colors need to be calibrated each year. You can do this yourself by checking out the following website:

Hope this helps :)

Most likely it is the Optical Block. It has been a issue for most of the Sony LCD Rear Projections manufactured over the last 6 plus years. Your Model may still Qualify as a factory recall. What you need to do is to get in touch with Sony's Customer Service at 1800-222-SONY and see if it does Qualify.
If not, it is a expensive repair costing 1200.00 to a 1500.00.
I hope it still does Qualify for a recall,

This is a Heat issue with the front sensor of the TV. Dust and Dirt block the sensor causing it to heat up faster and faster. Cleaning the lamp is extremely easy and it will get the TV working again, at least for a short while and then it will happen again. I know cause its been happening to me and it will work for about two weeks and start happening again. Sony actually has a class action lawsuit against them for this issue. Long story short here are the steps to correct the issue:
1. power down TV and disconnect from the power outlet then let sit for 30 minutes until its colled down
2. On the bottom corners of the TV (Back side) you will find a round screw that you can loosen with your fingers
3. once both screws are lose the front bottom part of the TV will pull off, there are magnets there so it will hold it in place temporarily.
4. Once the cover is removed, in the center of the TV will be a little door with another Finger screw to loosen, once off move the bar holding the door closed and remove the plate.
5. You will need an Alan wrench, the screw will be in the upper left corner, when this is loosened the screw will not fall out and you can pull out the Light fixture
6. CAREFULLY with compressed air spray the light assembly and the inside of the TV very well and then replace the light bulb.
7. Put the Door back on the front of the Light area, and assemble the rest of the TV in reverse order before testing the TV. I have done this multiple times as this is not a permanent fix but does restore life for a short period of time.
