Screen will not show picture it will stay blue when power is on

hi the cause is screen back light not working properly. you need to remove the back cover of the monitor to access the internal part of the monitor. then look for the connector of the cold cathode fluorescent tube back light going to the power inverter board of the back light you will noticed a dry joints which cause a loose connection that is why you hear a sound that cause of spark. you need to re soldered the connector or replaced if totally burned.

Does the screen turn on (blue) and then go black or does it stay blue? Mine has a similar problem where when the main power switch is flipped, it lights up, shows the initialization screen, then goes dark. Pressing any button on the console does nothing. I opened the console up and suspect one programmable microcontroller is bad. I'm going to see if I can get that part from FitnessQuest instead of replacing the whole board.

ur problem is the inverter board , or bad capacitor on power supply

i know your problem. its an inverter loose connection from CCFL to inverter output. back of your LCD inside the TV. try to remove and re-connect again. be sure no power and AC is unplugged. [email protected]

Try shining a flashlight on the screen, or without the flashlight, try to see if you can distinguish anything on the screen at all, if you do, the backlight is dead, or the monitor has an internal most likely unfixable problem.

All symptoms in your TV shows that you need to replace its Lamp as it has been consumed its life hours and TV requires new lamp. Lamp can be obtained from Sony Website. Price is $200, Hope this info will help you to enjoy your Sony TV in coming days.

I have the same problem and have traced it down to a potential power supply issue.  I bought mine at Best Buy in '06 and was told today that they will test the power supply for free.  It may range from $50.00 to $100.00 depending on where you can get it.  This does not include labor for those not qualified to work with electronics.  Hope this helps you.

I would replace the control box assembly that is the most common issue with those TVs
