Watching tv heard a pop sound then tv went out and only comes in in black and white

A popping sound as you describe sounds as if your tv blew a couple capicators on the main control board. More than likely , you are needing to aquire a new main circuit board.

time to replace the Tv unfortunately

Your backlight went out. Manual should tell you how to change it

Check and replace the main power regulator board as card basis. It has damaged.

Hi , it seems you are experimenting a light engine problem.Here's how your tv works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLLHnQ4y-wo Basically there's 3 LCD chips that create the colors and image by blending together.When these chips start to melt you will get those blue spots, pixelation ,black and white picture,even vertical lines.You will need to replace the light engine. Have a blessed one!

Lamp inside TV is broken and requires replacement. Pop sound was its breaking sound.
Lamp replacement procedure is written in user manual, pretty easy.
Please buy Sony original lamp for TV safety and avoid aftermarket/ cheap lamp.
Let me know if you need to download user manual copy.
Thanks.

Sorry thats the death of your tv I
m afraid, the pop you heard is either your lamp or tube going boom.

Good Day, ginabrownb;

When your TV talks to you loudly, it is a really good idea that you call a FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.

They can come to your home and give you an estimate, so you can determine if you want "it" fixed.

Good Luck, big IRISH.

sounds like the lamp has shattered. check the lamp

You need to replace the lamp in this set. The "pop" you heard was the lamp popping.
