Sony KV-25F1U Fault - Any Suggestions?
Hi.
My 25" Sony TV (KV-25F1U), which is just over 8.5 years old, has suddenly developed a fault. It was fine yesterday, but when I tried to switch it on using the remote control today, it did not respond. The red power LED on the front, near the power button, was blinking as follows: Two blinks separated by about a second, then several seconds off, then 2 blinks again, etc.. Presumably this code means something specific, as it does not usually blink like that. If I turn off the TV using the power button I just mentioned, then wait long enough for the power to drain away that the LED stops blinking, then turn it back on, it seems ok for a short time: There is sound as usual, then the CRT warms up and there is a picture for about half a second, then the TV shuts down completely. The picture disappears, the whole CRT circuitry powers down, because I can hear that kind of fizzing noise you get when the HT powers up or down. The sound stops, and then this LED starts blinking twice at me every few seconds. Then nothing at all will make it do anything, except bouncing the power as described above. Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone know what the two-blink message means? I'd have thought that it can't be that ****ed, because as I say, it does generate picture and sound for a short time before it shuts down. Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions - short of just "take it to a repairer!", of course!
