SONY TRINITRON TV 36"

This morning I turned on the TV and after about 5 minutes I heard a cracking sound and the screen turned blue with white lines on all channels. What does the blue screen and lines mean? I did check another TV and the cable system is working. I also turned the TV off and still the same. Also this is after a recent move from Las Vegas, NV to Albuquerque, NM. Do you think the move had something to do with it? All my property had been stored for one week in over 100 degree tempatures. Thank you for your time.

I think you had an arc in the high voltage circuit which zapped the blue drive circuit to the picture tube. This could have been caused by the high temperatures the your set was subjected to. Stargazer

More expensive to fix than replace. Throw it out. If you're interested it's probably a bad capacitor.

Sony trinitron kv32fs100 won't turn on 5 red lights blinking

We've heard this before from appliance repair persons, auto repair persons, etc. "Go out and buy a new TV, this one will be too expensive to fix." And then it turns out to be a $5 part. If this fixes it, you just saved yourself $800 or so.

TV TURNS ON,LINES ACROSS SCREEN THEN TURNS OFF BY ITSELF

sounds like a vertical problem, usually you'll see one white line across the screen, but one I worked on would come on and the bottom half of the picture was gone and there were lines across the top of the screen.

If you know how to solder & can find the vertical output chip then you could try resoldering the pins. If this doesn't fix it then it needs new parts.

White horizontal, zig-zagging lines

It sounds to me like you're describing the re-trace of the unit. It is repairable, and more so the sooner you get it to the repair facility.

Are you serious? You have used that television... in particular that CRT well beyond its predictable lifetime. Congratulations. Those are early symptoms of CRT failure.
