Sony KV-20FS100 problem.

I have a Sony KV-20FS100 television. The TV is less than 3 years old and has been very lightly used. One day, while watching, it simply shut off (as if someone pulled the power cord). Pushing the power button now has the following effect: relay inside TV clicks, tube sounds like it is powering up, but nothing ever shows on the screen, and immediately it shuts back off again. The red POWER LED will continue blinking for a few seconds, but then nothing. I pulled the back cover off, looking for anything burnt up or obviously broken, and even went over the circuit boards with a magnifying glass. Can't find any toasted components or bad solder joints. Any hope for this puppy? All the local TV repair shops have long disappeared.

Call Sony for the nearest authorized servicer. They will have the training and service manuals on hand for a model this new. Then check references on those names they give you.

Unless you know of a good independent, non-manufacture affiliated, repair shop (by references or past experience), it is usually best to take a newer item to an authorized servicer.

Without a complete internal diagnosis, there is no way to know if it is worth fixing.

FYI most of the big box stores will take stuff in for repair, but they truck the items off, pay $8.00 for most of the 'techs' they have employed. They are in the business to sell you something new, rather than fix it.
