I have a sony wega kdf-50we655 that was given to me but the problem is that there is a yellow spot in the middle and blue pixel dots around. i have never had a big screet t v so is this worth getting fixed since it was given to me. it is a 2004 model thank you oh and how much would the part cost

Most probably it is an issue with the optical block of the TV. Sony aware of the issue and giving free service for few models. It would be good if you contact Sony directly to check for the available options to get the free service. If you wish to know the contact information and timings, please message me www.fixya.com/users/shajanrs

Your tv is an LCD projection one - in which the image is generated by 3 small LCD screens. The blue dots are pixels from the blue LCD that are dead - always fully open.The only fix is to replace the LCD panel and that is going to cost you around $300.

You have the star effect,bad optical assy.expensive to repair

optical unit block bad (blue light engine)

Sounds like some of the pixels on the LCD screen are not turning on which is causing the blue dots to show. (I would guess that the dots are always in the same spot.) On a normal TV these would be unlikely to be a bother, but since the Wega is a projection TV these are no doubt being enlarged on the final viewing image and so are hard to ignore.

If that is the problem there is not a lot you can do about it. If the TV is still under guarantee I would return it to the shop ASAP. If not then I suspect the cost of repair will be quite high, if not impossible other than back at the factory.

check focus ic

thats a common symptom for that model which is usually related to the optical block. Very exspensive repair. Check with a sony authorized repair center as Sony has recognized the problem and offer assistance with certain models yours may be one of the ones affected.

The optical block is defective. Sony sometimes warranties these even after the 1yr warranty has expired. Contact Sony support and have you full model and serial number handy.
