I'VE HAD THE TV FOR FOUR YEARS. IT WONT TURN ON BUT DOES MAKE ALL THE POWER UP SOUNDS. THE STAND BY IS BLINKING 7 TIMES.
I can't believe this problem is so common to this particular Sony TV. Happened to me the other day, too. "Pops" like it's going to turn on, but no picture or sound....only Standby light blinking 6-7 times, hesitates, then 6-7 times again. I'm nursing mine by not only turning the TV off at night, but pulling the plug out of the wall. It sits all night totally unplugged from the power source. In the morning, I plug it back into the wall receptacle and it comes back on. I tried this after about 4 hours one day and it would not come on. Seems it has to be turned off for a good 8 hours or so before it will work. This is just a band-aid, I'm sure. I am deciding whether to let the Sony service people come out and look at it. I want a ballpark figure to fix it before I decide to let them come out to I can make a good decision about whether to put that kind of money into it or buy a new TV altogether. I'm so disappointed after reading how common this problem is. I thought Sony was one of the best brands. I paid $1500 for this TV 5 years ago...it should last 10 years like my last one did.
I have been having the same problems for the past one month. I have been pushing the power button again after it stops blinking from the first time. I hope someone can find a better solution soon.
Mine started this yesterday and yes when I hit the button again it turns on too. My question is does it cost a lot to get this fixed?
My problem is similar. However if I hit power button again it comes on normally.
This symptom is usually caused by a breakdown in the power-supply circuit. in most modern receivers (transistorised and/or ic), it may also be caused by a breakdown in the horizontal deflection circuits (horizontal oscillator, pre-drive or drive circuits.). this is because the supply volatages for the tuner, video intermidiate frequency(VIF), video amplifier, sound intermediate frequency(SIF) and vertical output circuit are usually supplied by the horizontal output circuit. but if you are not inclined with this kind of job, better bring it to a qualified tv technician. good luck and happy valentine!

Thank you so much for talking with me, I think i will pick up some manuals on this tv and the specific things you mentioned and see what i can do on my own. without blowing myself up :)
again thank you and happy valentines day to you
mine is the same TV have the same problem but mine usually turn on int he morning then if we turn it off it stays on the stand by mode for hours
I'm having the exact same problem.....got up this morning to turn on the TV and the light is blinking about 7 times and no light, no sound, no picture...HELP ANY SOLUTIONS!
my tv does the same start up sounds ad the stand by light blinks 7 times.
Mine is having the same problem. The first time I left it unplugged for a day and it came back on when I plugged it in. I had left it on several days suspecting a power supply issue. Had a storm last night and power went off, now it won't start-up again. Funny thing I had a 27" Sony Trinitron, about 10 years old that did the same thing about 6 months ago. A cold day before I buy more SONY junk.
My tv sounds like it is going to power on, but there is no picture. This was after an electrical outage which we have had before and nothing has gone wrong. The standby light continues to blink a few times slow and then fast.
I have disconnnected the tv and reconnected, but to no avail. I did not leave it disconnected overnight like someone suggested.
Please help!
Thank you,
Nellie
I have the same problem with my SONY TRINITRON KV32HS500...I hear about this issue with this tv over and over...hmm...I wonder if is a manufacture problem...I called Sony and they say is not, which after reading all your posts,sounds hard to beleive...I tried everything in the book to fix it and called about 3 repair shops. Fixing this will cost between $300 + to $600 + depending upon if the "flayback" or Conection Board" can be fixed or needs to be replaced...Is it worth the money and effort? Warranty for this service is a max of 90 days...after reading your postings I've decided it is not...specially if like many of you have said...even after repairing it, the problem cames back...it is unfortunate that SONY is not owning up to their product...this DEFINATELY IS a manufacture issue...one thing is clear though...I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER SONY PRODUCT...thanks for your postings...you all saved me few hundred bucks and more frustration...Thanks!!
Just got the same problem today (2-19-08) that everyone else is getting. Sounds like the TV will turn on, but just get a black screen and the blinking lights. Have owned the TV for about 4-5 years also. It's too much of a coincidence that all these units are suddenly breaking at about the same age.
Have same problem, bought tv 5 yrs ago, stand by blinks numerous times, I have noticed when this started happening, if tv is OFF for a period of time, I was able to power on, recently .... I can't have it OFF for 10hrs or so and repower on anymore.
I'm having the same problem. Bought our TV just about 5 years ago. I have the standby light blinking 7 times, all the pop on sounds, but no picture. This is ridiculous. We all need to contact Sony.
Exact same problem. Seems like it turns on, then turns off and stand by light blinks 7 times. I'm going to contact the repair shop today to see how much this costs to fix. Very frustrating. I also purchased a Sony cam corder last year that also broke. Sony must be going through a quality issue. Wouldn't mind if I didn't pay over $1,000 for this T.V.
Same exact thing with mine just 2 days ago...sony wants a $99.00 trip charge...I'm sure they are well aware of this issue...
Add me to the list of Sony rejects. I bought mine from a TV shop, took it back to them for repair. It powered up in their shop but when I got it back home, nothing. Love the tv if it ever works.
TV blinking on stand by mode and wont turn on.
