You MAY be in luck! There is NO mention of a 220VAC supply for your Sony Projector! However they DO specify a different AC Power Cable/Cord.

This means your Sony should work from 100VAC to 240VAC AS IS with the proper connector at the WALL end. NO other transformer should be required...

Download your Manual from the Link below and go to page 71. Note that FIVE different cables are specified ~ depending on location...

I also suspect you can go to a local TV shop and buy the proper cable OR have them CUT the connector and install the correct type for your location.

I think its for exit air fan please check it

The lamp ballast board is giving you fits. The lamp socket wires attach to the board so it should be easy to locate.

Give input signal to the projector and see that if the menu appears or not on the screen.
if menu comes on the screen then put the backgroung color to blue, instaed of black.

if nothing comes on the screen, then the LCD panels are faulty.

I have the same problem...did you ever get your high pitched sound fixed?

Should be on it's way to you now.

OK It SOUNDS like you have problems on one of the two power boards (designated GA and GB). There are a couple of things I need you to do the next time it acts up.
1) if any lights flash, count the number of flashes. It should be a repeating cylce of so many flashes.
2) If it won't come on, unplug it for 3 or 4 minutes (to let the power supplies discharge) and then plug it back it but don't try to power it on. Count the number of clicks you hear right after you plug it in. This is very important and it tells me if one section of the supply is not coming on.
I hope this helps. Feel free to rate this solution and to award the premium solution to whomever you please.

what do you expect from SONY? get rid of it and buy another SONY shit.that's what they want you to do anyway.....

btw: maybe your lamp cover IS CLOSED??
