-   i have a sony KP-51WS500 HD tv and when i turn it on i will get a picture with over-saturated blue, quickly turning into solid blue, than shuts off. i get an error code 5 after. i looked inside and there is alot of dust. i remember researching the error and finding something about the D board being the cause of the problem-

post your model. Sounds like the blue CRT is shorted. But let me know the model and I will let you know how to test it.

My t.v. works fine when turned on I get picture of what I'm watching but ever so often blue light/blotches flashes through the screen in various areas of the screen while I'm watching t.v. The t.v. does stay on and I still see picture but with blue flashes of light coming in and out of the picture.
It seems to get worse as time goes by. I have a Samsung rear projection t.v. Please help.

I have a Sony Projection TV model #KP-53S70. It is connected to a Direct TV DVR. The unit was working fine this morning, but this evening when we tried turning it on the DVR would come on, but not the TV. The TV does have power to it and the red "Timer/Stand-By" light is on. Any thoughts. Thanks, Dave

there are light waves in the top left corner of the screen...always have been...there seems to be a secondary screen behind the main screen...almost looks like something was spilled on top of the tv and ran onto the secondary screen...I took it out and there is no way to clear that up...there doesn't appear to anything on that screen but the picture still has light waves that aggravate me to no end.

I have the same problem...Turn TV on...have sound and picture for about a minute...flashes blue, goes blue screen, and then quits. In addition, for about two years I have had red curvy lines across the screen...paid $2400 for this TV about 6 years ago...not very happy with the product...unusual for Sony.

i have had the same issues with my tv the first time it was the red tube and know it is the blue tube, i believe i will be looking for a new tv 500.00-700.00 to repair is not worth it , i think that sony should be recalling or stand behind there product this is a big expense on a 4-5 year old tv. i will be looking at a different brand that's for sure .

I have the exact same problem, even the 8 flashes of the LED. What's wrong with it?

I have similar problem with my KP57WS500 Sony TV. When I turn it on, a green squiggly line appears, then disappears, followed by full blue screen falashhes, then quites. light flashes 8 times on front panel. Is it doomed, or can I save it? I am mechanically inclined and can follow a troubleshooting tree if provided.
