Sony Television Question

Dec 16, 2005 5 Replies

I have a 36" Sony, unsure of the model number right now, bought it early '00, what's happening is when you turn it on, the picture either comes on or there is nothing at all, you do get sound. Also, if the picture does come on, it will crawl up the screen and then goes off, meaning the picture. One more thing, when it does crawl up the screen the channel number gets reversed if you punch in a number. What could be wrong? Thanks in advance!


Without more specifics like model/chassis number, here's a generic possibility. I think it might be a fault in the vertical circuit. Look for bad capacitors and/or loose connections there.

I'm DIY can of guy, can you give me a location for looking for loose connections?

Nobody can tell you this without a magical crystal ball. Open it up, turn the power on, and start poking around with an insulated stick.
