I am having some problems with this 36" tv. Sometimes it will turn on
and sometimes it won`t. I had it on all day last Sunday and shut it
off
and the next day it would not turn on. It will make the usual
clicking
noises from the relays and the standby light blinks, but thats it. I
checked other
post on here and they say to replace the IC . I opened up the tv and
found 3 IC
in it. 2 that say

SHINDENGEN
MCZ3001DB
B00446
those are on the left side

and 1 on the right that says
SHINDENGEN
MCZ3001DB
B04047

Which 1 do i change? Or do i change them all?

Thanks, PEANUT

Firstly, be carefull if you are not familiar with electronics, it's
dangerous to work on this stuff! What led code do you have? A constant
flash while in "startup mode" is normal, but at failure you will get
an led flash like one blink, a pause, then a five blink...code 15. Or
six blinks over & over...meaning code six. Best way to repair, is to
replace all three MCZ3001DB IC's with original, although, only one or
two MAY be bad. High failure rate, using the MCZ3001 without the DB in
the end, will LIKELY end in failure. Flyback transformers are common
in Sony too. The code helps narrow it down greatly. Hope this is
helpfull.

I'd start by checking for cracked solder joints, especially around the
line and power stages, very common problem in Sonys.
