    Television Troublesh...KDF-55WF655, powers on for about 10 seconds then sI would expect any or all of the following information to be stamped on the assembly: A1085447A LAMP BLOCK ASSY XL2200U.
    Television Troublesh...KV-36HS510 6/7 Blinking lights....... Frustrated!!Welcome to Agoraquest!  For the KV-36HS510, 6 blinks, pause, 6 blinks, etc. means "LOW +B OCP/OVP (overcurrent/overvoltage)" and the probable cause locations listed are as follows: 1.  +5 line is overloaded (A, B, M boards) 2.  +5 line is shorted (A, B, M boards) 3.  IC504 is faulty (A board) These are starting points for a qualified service technician.
    Television Troublesh...KDP-57WS655 Standby light blinks 10 times....repeaWelcome to Agoraquest!  Its probably a long shot, but I would try replacing IC6400 and IC8002, both MCZ3001DB's, which notorious for failure.  There is plenty written about replacement of these chips in this forum.
    Television Troublesh...Sony grand wega power issueReplace the lamp, in spite of what Sony says.  Others have had the same symptoms and replaced the lamp to restore normal operation.
    Television Troublesh...KF-50XBR800 urns on and off and standby flashes 5 To the best of my knowledge, there is no such adjustment.  However, if the optical assembly is not fully inserted, it might result in your symptoms.  I would remove the optical assembly and take a look at the lens assembly.  Maybe its dirty, or maybe the optical assembly was not seated properly/
    Television Troublesh...7 blinks on Sony KV-36XBR400Now that you have repaired the sets, you might be able to get $150 each for them if you are lucky.  You will be money ahead!
    Television Troublesh...Sony KV27FS120 won't stay onWelcome to Agoraquest!  Try turning the set off and unplugging it for say 30 seconds.  Plug it back in and turn it on.  You may get lucky!
    Television Troublesh...KDF-E50A10 Verticle Purple Lines Across ScreenA couple of years ago when I had access to Sony service information, I might have been able to help you.  However, without access to Sony service information, its not possible.
    Amp/Receiver/Speaker...Sony STR-DB930 - no sound through speakers or headThe STR-DB930 headphone outputs are nothing more than a 680 ohm resistor in series with a headphone across the front left and right speaker outputs.  Both the headphone and speaker outputs are switched by relays.  The problem COULD be IC501, the common power amp for the front left and right channels.  Another possibility is poor circuit board ground connections.  This is a common problem. Although you might be able to measure a voltage at the speaker outputs with a voltmeter, what you really need is an oscilloscope.  That way, you can compare waveforms at differ ..
    Television Troublesh...KDL-46xbr9 Whole lot of "DAM" going onApparently, the set thinks that a sofware update is available, but on my KDL55XBR8 you have to manually initiate a software update.  I am unsure about your set.
    Television Troublesh...Trinitron model KV-27S15Welcome to Agoraquest!  Have you ever cleaned the face of the picture tube with a liquid?  If so, the fluid may have migrated to the circuit board at the front of the TV that responds to the push-buttons.
    Television Troublesh...kds55a2000 looks yellow Welcome to Agoraquest!  Is yours a smoking family?  If so, its possible that all that you need to do is clean the lens assembly protruding out of the optical assembly.  The internal LCD panels could be contaminated as well.  The screen going to predominately one color is not normally a symptom of a defective optical assembly.
    Television Troublesh...Model Number KDL52W4100, we are getting 12 red bliWelcome to Agoraquest!  For the KDL52W4100, 12 blinks, pause, 12 blinks, etc. means "TCON Error".  You may need to replace the TCON board.  Suggest that you go to the "Frequently Asked Questions for Sony Products" forum "Television Troubleshooting Information Packages" thread and see how to obtain the "Replacing the TCON (timing control) board on LCD panels" information package.
    Television Troublesh...KDF-55WF655, powers on for about 10 seconds then sWelcome to Agoraquest!  Did you install a genuine Sony lamp assembly the last time that you replaced the lamp?  If not, that could be your problem.
    Television Troublesh...KV-32HS500 blinks 7 timesWelcome to Agoraquest!  I thought that the picture on my KV36XBR450 was great right up to the day that I A/B d it with the picture on my KDL55XBR8.  There is absolutely no comparison.  I have never seen a picture better than that on my KDL55XBR8!
    Off-topicWhat's your connection speed? Test and link! How do you copy the image code?  The results that I got were 35.58 down, 9.35 up.  I am a Comcast employee with the 22/5 tier.  I only pay $6.40/mo as an employee.  As you can see, the numbers appear to be inflated.  The server was Comcast in Philadelphia.
    Television Configura...KDFE50A10 Channel removal and decodes PPV??That wouldn't surprise me.  One thing that I am positive of is that if ront50 wasn't using a cable card, he wasn't getting any encrypted channels.
    Television Configura...KDFE50A10 Channel removal and decodes PPV??Correction!  I just discovered that the 22 analog basic channels remain taking up 22 x 6 = 132 MHz of bandwidth.  44 digital HD channels could occupy that space!
    Television Troublesh...Need to replace Lamp Power Supply Block on KDF-70XGo to http://www.agoraquest.com/manual_request.php  and order the service manual.  The disassembly drawings show you how to remove the optical block.
