Lightening/cable surge = Sony TV problem
Since everything else seems to be working in the tv set, probably just the
tuner/if/stereo module that connects to the cable. Definitely an in home repair. Give several shops a call with the model number and an exact description of the problem before they come out so they have an idea what to expect. It will save you between $50 and $100 in total charges if you can in any way take the tv in for repair to the shop, in home costs more. Typical charges for a Sony like that are the labor ($75 to $125) plus the parts (most Sony tuner packs are around $130 give or take). Add the $50 for the trips charges for in home to get a close idea of the total. This will vary depending on where you live. If you chose NOT to have it repaired due to the cost (it is borderline as to fix it or not), many repair shops will pick the set up for free so you will not have to pay the hazardous waste disposal to throw it away. Or post you general location here so someone here might be interest can contact you, include a contact email in the body of the text with something like youremail.(^^ instead of the youremail.com so the Spam programs won't recognize the email address in the body of the posting.

Oddly it didn't hurt the cable modem, but took out my ethernet card. It didn't damage the VCR (where the cable line is connected) but damaged the TV (which was connected via an output cable from the VCR). Its a 32 inch Sony KV32S45. Both the computer and television had power surge protectors, but not cable surge protectors :( Here's what's happening with the TV. It doesn't seem to get an antenna signal anymore. Snow on every channel when a stand-alone antenna is connected to VHF/UHF. With the cable tv line, I get a slight ghost of an image, the same picture on every channel. I am able to connect the TV to the VCR with a 3-part RCA cable (video, left, right) and get television reception from the VCR to the TV that way. Picture and sound plays fine on the TV via Video 1. But because of the distance between the TV and VCR this is a less than ideal solution (taut wires stretching across the room). Also I have to give up the VCR/DVD output to the my stereo when I use the output connection for tv instead. This is an extremely heavy tv set, I can't easily get anywhere for repair. Does it sound like something that could be easily fixed? Thanks, Sheri |

Thanks guys, for the info. If I could get the tuner part (where would
I get it, direct from Sony?), is it something I might attempt to do myself? I can operate a screwdriver :D Regards, Sheri |

If all you can operate is a screwdriver, then no, it is not something you
can do yourself. If you have experience working a temperature controlled soldering station and desoldering around ultra small surface mount components and doing circuit board rework, then maybe, as long as you had the training with the safety aspects of working inside the tv set.
