Sony TV switches off by itself
I have a 1992 sony KV27TS27 tv.
When I switch tv on it quickly switches off by itself. If i keep switching off and on it eventually comes on and then abruptly switches off again. After some playing around it will stay on for however long I watch TV. I have looked on these posts and got some info from other sources saying that the powerboard is gone. Unfortunally powerboards are hard to find and are expensive, from what I have been told. I have no experience with tv repair, at all, but would like to give fixing this problem a try. I have already purchased a new Sony, KV27FV310. So any info would be appreciated. |

Sony TV switches off by itself
anothonyl:
Based on the complexity of the circuitry and (unless I am wrong) your apparent lack of electronics knowledge, repair experience, proper test equipment, tools and replacement parts...... you are not going to have much success trying to repair this yourself. The inside of a television is a dangerous place for a novice..... there are lethal and dangerous electrical shock hazards inside your television... note that these hazards may still be present even when the television is turned off and unplugged. Do not keep trying to use the television with this problem..... if you keep trying to turn it on MORE damage can result and the repair price will certainly be higher. An experienced and knowledgeable technician with the proper test equipment, tools and replacement parts will actually have to open up the television and perform some testing and troubleshooting to be able to provide you some answers. At the very least take it to a service shop for a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision based on facts instead of internet guesses. BTW: To keep repair costs down, most good shops will not just replace expensive boards but will replace the faulty parts on the board.... also there may be more wrong (elsewhere) than just the "power board." -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair -------------------------------- "anthonyl@shawmut" wrote in message I have a 1992 sony KV27TS27 tv.

you see Daniel
This is were TV repair companies have got themselves in the **** on their repair bill to their customer they continue to use the word "labor" so customers think that their labor is cheaper and therefore better. as you pointed out their is just more then labor that goes into a TV repair.

Give SONY a call and have them give you referrals, they track the
performance of their authorized service facilities. "anthonyl@shawmut" wrote in message om... Thanks Daniel for your response. Sorry It took so long to reply back. Is it possible for you , or anyone else, to know of any reputable Sony repair shops in the Boston Ma. area. Thanks |
