I have a Sony Trinitro 36" about 8 yeras old. When I first turn it on, I can hear the sound but the picture goes in and out a few times before it stays on, now it is doing it every once in a while during the day as well

Hi,do you hear any strange noises? If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast. But if you don't hear any strange noises,tv is around 6000 hrs,2-4 yrs it could be time to replace the lamp.The lamp you need is XL-2200.You can find it here: http://www.discount-merchant.com/Sony-XL-2200-TV-Bare-Lamp-Bulb-p/sony_xl-2200u_a1601753a_lamp.htm?Click=48173 Have a blessed one!
Here's my suggestion , unhook all the external components to the TV
and leave the TV unplugged for more than a few minutes (a
day/overnight). The next day plug the TV into the wall outlet (not the
powerstrip) without anything hooked up to it, and turn it on. See if it
comes on. Sometimes unplugging for a few minutes/hours is not long
enough for it to reset itself.
Sony doesn't want anyone to see a poor picture on a Sony tv so they have a circuit that blanks the video if there is a weak picture or any other problem concerning picture quality. My Sony factory Instructor told me this many many years ago. I'm feeling old...but anyway you need a technician. Sorry.
My picture would go out after several minutes but I still had sound. I
took the rear cover off and blew all the dust off with compresed air.I
did this for a few times over several days nothing happened.I also took
off the rear circuit board that attaches to the tube with a round pin
socket and blew that with compressed air and put it back on. The TV has
now worked for two days without the picture going out. It
worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My TV is 9 years old.
turn on tv, after a few minutes picture goes black, but still have sound. red light blinks 5 times,turn set off same thing happens when you turn set back on. some times it want do it for 10 min.
3 years ago, i had the same problem with a samsung 36", when i switched it on it would stay on for around half an hour, i tried to switch on straight away, but it wouldnt, i had to leave it for an hour or so, then it would stay on for about 5 minutes. And the same thing the next day (half an hour then 5 minutes). I left it into the repair shop, it had to get a circuit board replaced at a cost of £315, dont know how much it will cost to get fixed now, as i could buy the same tv for a little over that now.
Sounds like a typical high-voltage failure. Could easily cost
another $300 to have it fixed. If it is less than about 6 years
old I'd say it was worth fixing. If you want to DIY, then pull
all the electronics out (label all the connections) and send it all to
either Module Exchange at 972-298-1212 or PTS Electronics

ERROR 4 ON THIS SET IS ETHER THE FAN OR THERMAL SENSOR. DO YOU HEAR THE FANS RUNNING ? SOME TIMES THEY JUST NEED TO BE CLEANED OUT, IF THERE IS ALOT OF DUST AROUND THE SET. DON.
There is a circuitry problem with the scan control, this is a job for the "Shop" as I always advise get a firm "Quote" B4 prceeding with any fix... Generally these days there is no Horizontal/Vertical Hold, as such, it is all done by the Compter Chip inside.
