Sony KV-32TS35 No Audio

Hi there. I have a Sony KV-32TS35 TV that just the other day decided to stop playing audio. The video shows beautifully (almost as good as the day I brought it home). With no luck, I've tried different video/audio sources and ofcourse the volume is turned up, also mute is not selected. I know that TV's are dangerous to work on and I'm very careful. I've read that I may have a cold solder joints on my tuner board particularly the standup PC board next to the tuner. The tuner board came out quite easily and I've resoldered (I have alot of soldering/desoldering experience) all the connections in the standup PC board but again no luck. I'm wondering if the tuner board is shot completely? Any suggestions? I would hate to throw this TV away, because it's been so good to me and this picture is still so sharp. I've thought of having someone out to look at it, but I have more time than money. Thanks.

I had a similar problem several years back on my 32 inch Sony. From what I remember, it was not the tuner board that was the problem, but a small board piggy backing on top of the tuner. Once I replaced the piggy back board, the audio came on loud and clear.

Verify that the set is not in SAP mode.

I agree with Jonesy, the stereo decoder module is known to go bad due to leaking electrolytic caps on this module. It is located on the board you pulled, and is easily desoldered. You should see where the caps have leaked on the PC board. The sound is usually distorted though, but I guess a complete loss isn't out of the question. I just replaced this module on the exact same set, and it works fine now (still have vertical problem though). I bought my module from Union electronics. Good luck.
