Ive had this sony tv for a couple years now. it used to be a great tv. lately, it has taken longer and longer for the screen to turn on. now, when i turn the tv on, i get sound, but the stand by L.E.D. just blinks and blinks. no picture. after 5-10 minutes, the screen might kick on, but that also keeps blinking.
ive seen some of the other posts. most of the answers were to take it to a repair shop. but i'd like to try and fix it myself if possible. what could be wrong (please clarify, im new to tv fixing) and how much would it cost to repair at a shop?
-Thank you
James

- would it be one of the two knobs on the piece where the red wire that goes to the tube is? one knob is marked with white paint. ive tried both and nothing happens
It may be a fruitless effort. The main reason this occurs is that the Picture Tube is drawing too much current and the AKB circuit will not let the video circuit diplay the picture. Outside
of replacing the Picture Tube there is no fix.
You can varify this by turning the screen control up. This is usaully located on the HV transformer and is marked. the other location it may be is on the CRT board. It also would be clearly marked. If you adjust this slightly and the picture appears, the Picture Tube is the problem. I'm betting 100% it's the Tube.
Hope this helps,

- It is the bottom knob on the HV Transformer. Turning it clockwise and seeing if the CRT face lights or flashes. If the CRT has a bad enough short in it, it may not light up at all. But I am still betting it is the CRT.

I have just moved my satellite receiver and DVD recorder to a new cabinet and upon reconnecting everything, I can no longer access the DVD recorder using the TV/VIDEO button on my Sony KV-32S42. The TV recognizes the satellite receiver as Video 1 but I get only snow when I select VIDEO. How can I set the DVD recorder as a 2nd input to the tv. All connection are as specified in the TV and recorder manuals.
