Hello. My Sony KV-35S26 television just died. No warning or anything as it had been working perfectly for the 6 years or so that I've owned it and I am the sole owner. The only problem is that I had to adjust the tilt correction to max, but doing so positioned the screen perfectly... no idea if that make a difference. I've always had it hooked up to a surge protector as well.

I didn't see it actually happen, but it was ON when it happened if that makes any difference. I went into another room and came back 10 minutes later and the TV was off. I tried to turn it back on and nothing. No power, no picture, no audio, no Stand-By light lit or blinking. Nothing. I unplugged it a plugged it in to several other outlets that I know work and still nothing.

I'm hoping I can remedy this problem myself and I'm hoping someone here has experienced this issue before and fixed their problem. Is there a fuse or anything I can check? Because it acts like I blew a fuse or something. If there is a fuse, where exactly is it and how do I get to it? I'm not very knowledgeable about electronics and I don't know the technical jargon, but I can follow directions and fix this if indeed it can be fixed. I've messed around and modified other electronics by following online instructions, so if it can be fixed, I can do it. I just need some instructions on what to do if anyone knows anything about my problem.

Thanks in advance for any information.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I also tried to turn the TV on using my remote as well as the power button on the face of the TV and got no response.

Common failure in these type of T.V.,'s are the
2-2sc4834, 1-2sc4927, 1-vdr-601, 2-vdr-602
(sometimes), 0.1 ohm fusible R607. Not sure if this
is exactly the same as your unit though. There are a
few different chassis. Look at these parts, & you will
likely see they are bad. Sky.

Not to mention the reason for failure..

Resolder every thing in the Horizontal drive sections along with
the Flyback Transformer if you don't you can expect those new parts to blow.

I've fixed lots of these sets and I've never had to replace the VDRs.
Resoldering the H drive circuit is the most critical thing.
