I try to turn my tv on and it doesn't come on. It just cycles the green power light then to red then it shuts off. The Tv was manufactured in December of 2005.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same tv. My tv was about 18 months old, but on all of the time. I had a tech scheduled to look at and stumbled on a website with a bunch of tv repair men answering questions. they suggested my lamp was on its last leg. I replaced the lamp and have not had a problem since with the tv turning on and off by itself. Unfortunately, I now have a large blue blob taking over my screen and sony is acting like they never heard of the problem before. Sony blows!

TV won't go on. Just see a black screen. The green power light will blink for a minute or two and then turn to red and continue blinking. Tried unplugging for 5 minutes to reset without success.

Our tv also does this. It also has a blue streak in the upper right hand corner. We bought it May 24, 2006. We purchased an extended warranty so I wonder if it will cover this problem.

I have the same problem - mine doesn't need the update either. Just started today. I went through the live chat support and after I reset it from the wall I was told to call service.

Purchased January '06.

I had the same problem, it would take the tech two weeks to get to me. So here is what i did, and the problem seams to be fixed. I took out the lamp and dusted the lamp area. There was alot of dust. I then replaced the lamp. I have not had a problem since.

I have the exact problem. Turns itself off and then back on again after 45 flashes of the standby light.

Comment by Guest, posted on Jan 07, 2008

Same problem here. Turns itself off then on, over and over again. So far I've found no cause or resolution. I'm about to pitch this piece of junk out in the street.

Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 14, 2007

App 3 days ago I started having the same problem. Exactly 45 flashes as you say. My TV was needing the upgrade. I had that done but the problem still exists.
