I have a KP51ws500 and the tv will flicker green and until it turns completely green and turns off. It also has blue curved lines on the screen. Any help would be great.
Thanks,
There may be several causes but, one is that when any color gun is being over driven, the Sony shuts down the gun to protect it. Try this. Remove the front of the set by removing the two screws from each lower corner. Next remove the black panel held on by 5 or 6 screws. Now you should see a panel with 6 potentiometers on it. Turning the ones on the bottom row CCW reduces the drive. Turn the color down and if all the guns stay lit, SLOWLY turn them up until you get the color balance that you like.
THIS WORKED GREAT! We bought this TV on craigslist and got home and the TV went out...I was furious! I came across this post and my boyfriend fixed the TV in less than 10 min!!! EASY FIX!
I did the same to mine. Readjusted the power voltage to each gun. Before we could plug up the red gun power, picture would look perfect absolutely perfect for about 15 sec, then it would go solid red. Now it looks perfect again !
Thanks to all who suggested redoing the power voltage to each gun !
This works!!! I did this when a friend of mine gave me this tv...I slightly turned all three bottom screws and the tv works like new..
Same thing was happening to ours...
Open the back.... With the TV on we tapped on the black rim of the green tube in the back and then it flickered several times. The tv stayed on though for once so we left it for 2 hours or so and tapped several times again and the green tube kept flickering really bright and turned off I think. We turned it back on and it worked fine - amazing - we were about to haul it to the trash!

Yes I have this same problem. The picture will fade to green then cut off or flash green and cut off. I've had this problem for over a year know is there anything sony can do to fix this. I spent slot of money on a product that is to be a great company. Thanks
I have the same problem also - turns green and shuts off. Any luck using the solution offered?
Same problem here. The tv does not cut off, though. We can still hear the program, it is just all green.
HI - same deal- flickers green with line and then shuts off by itself. My hubby trying to fix it himself. It seems to help and works for a while if we shut the TV and let it cool down. Has anyone at all solved this problem yet?
i have the same problem with green flash and then off what do the potentionmeters look like
what do potentionmeters look like?
Our TV can turn any of the colors before it turns itself off. started with green, but now, sometimes blue flicker, then off. sometimes red flicker, then turns off.
We are ripping the thing apart right now. anybody help?
