I have a 36" Sony, unsure of the model number right now, bought it early
'00, what's happening is when you turn it on, the picture either comes
on or there is nothing at all, you do get sound. Also, if the picture
does come on, it will crawl up the screen and then goes off, meaning the
picture. One more thing, when it does crawl up the screen the channel
number gets reversed if you punch in a number. What could be wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Without more specifics like model/chassis number, here's a generic
possibility. I think it might be a fault in the vertical circuit. Look
for bad capacitors and/or loose connections there.
