My Sony Bravia LCD TV lost it's video input tonight in the middle of a TV show. There's sound but no picture. It says "No Signal. Check external input or choose another ..." I've tried using the wii and Blue Ray (PS3) and it's the same exact situation. Audio but no video. This TV is only about 2 yrs old.

SOURCE: PC input to Sony Bravia - from Sony Vaio Laptop - unsupported sig

Hi Julie,
There are a couple ways to go here. I'll give you the procedures step by step. If you want clarification on anything, just ask. If I make an assumption that is wrong, stop me and let me know. The more you know, the easier this will be for both of us.

First I'd like to double check on MisterSony's diagnosis. Refresh rates that are too high end up as a black screen on many LCD models.

This is my first assumption, the display settings are currently for both monitors. Your original screen is still functioning.

If so,

  • Right click on your desktop
  • Click Properties
  • Click the Settings Tab
  • Click the Advanced button
  • Click the Adapter Tab
  • On the lower part of that tab, there should be Refresh Rate. If it is not at 60 Hz, try to change it to 60 Hz.
  • Click OK
  • Click Apply
  • A pop up may appear asking if you want to keep the changes. Accept the changes.
Get back to me with the results. If it was already set at 60Hz. We go to the next step.
Mike

SOURCE: sony bravia klv-32t400a hdmi input through x-box

The problem is that, according to the specs for that TV, it doesn't support 1080p.
That's a 720p television you've got. (Specs here)
While the specs say that it supports 1080p, the resolution says it supports 1366 x 768, which is only 720p, not 1080p or even 1080i.
You may want to contact Sony for clarification, because their specs for that tv are contradicting each other.

SOURCE: my sony bravia has no audio when used as cable tv

Check the connections between the cable box and the TV. If you are using scart check the connector is in squarely if using rgb or composite you need a separate audio connection using the red and white phon sockets.

SOURCE: 40" Sony Bravia has intermittent audio failure.

I have a KDL-46VL130 with the same problems. Audio on the HDMI connection turns on and off intermittently when I have it connected with my ATT Uverse rcvr. I check w/ Sony online support and they led through the standard troubleshooting process ... which I knew going in would not fix the problem. Ultimately they told me to try a new HDMI cable first, or try a different video source for the HDMI, other than my ATT U-Verse reciever and see if the problem persists. Having seen other articles on this issue, i am almost certain that is not going to fix the problem... and to think that I paid $2000 for this thing.

I think fault is in electrolyte capacitor.You should check the supply volt of cathode & all relative component of RGB input.

I want to plug in a game console but my tv will not show all the input options. Simply has "TV" Video" and Cable... It all runs through surround sound, so I'm wondering does the surround...

connect video and audio to tv - when it works, split audio to both units (tv and surround system), reason for it might be ground problems or sync failure

Hello My, just bought Sony KDL 46 NX 700 shows on the screen " No signal. Check the external input or select another input using the input button". My TV cable is connected and TV it replaced...

I have one of these. It is probably set up for some other program like the HDMI or Input 1 through 5.
You can press your INPUT button, then scroll to the TV function, which should show up on the top.

Sony Bravia 40'' LCD 240Hz TV can't get video signal from DVD

Are you absolutely sure you have it wired up right? Are the Cable RIGHT wires color to color, is the "Correct Input" selected? Remember you do NOT use "Channels" but an AV, AUX, or External.input. Most DVD etc, use AV, IE: Yellow, (Video), Red, (Audio), White (Audio) for the OUT connections. These go color to color at TV end. And uses 3 Cables. The "Other" type of Output/Input is Component Video. This is ALL Video, Red, Blue, Green, these go color to color as well. BUT you MUST also send the Sound, Via the AV, IE: The Red & White, AV, Audio IN/OUT connections, So you in this case would have 5 cables/connections in all.

My Sony Bravia KLV-32U300A 32 in. HDTV-Ready LCD TV just lost the picture. Just see different colors. Hears static sound from the back of the unit. This was a progression. Few days ago, clicking sound...

hi..It's probably a loose cable. The first one to check is the
green connection but make sure they're all tight. RCA cables
tend to pop out part way which is enough to stop the signal.
If the green signal is lost, you get no picture. If the red or blue
are lost, you get a picture with bad coloring.

If you still have the problem check this
LOOK in the back of the TV when you have it turned on. Look in the slots near the top for a white glow coming out of it.

IF you see it, you need your signal board replaced...

IF NOT, then you need your power supply board replaced...

My Sony Bravia lost its picture. It still has sound but no picture

Please check the connections on the back and hope that you find a loose video connector. If that doesn't fix it then continue onto the source to see if that might have a loose connector.

The next thing to check would be the other inputs using the TV/Video button to see if the video on all of the inputs is dead. That would be what might be called "bad news".

Picture freezes on Sony Bravia 46 in

this can be a weak signal check the connections on cables. also in hot weather you can get a build up of static electricity and it will need to be discharged, turn off tv at mains and cross the connector and the cables if you have a buster or other box connected to them turn off and do the same to them. use something metal but make sure there is no power to them.

Lines on tv screen

Both sound like bad LCD panels. The following must be answered to confirm this:
Do the lines appear on all inputs/all signal sources?
Can they be seen in the OSD/menu?
If yes to both questions, it is likely that the LCD panel is bad
