TV repair help? March 26, 2006, 08:25:38 PM Ive got a Sony 32" TV that i can have if i fix it.The problem has been gradual. When it was new, you turn the TV on, and it would buzz, take 2 seconds, then the picture and sound would come on. After having it for a few years, it would gradually take longer and longer for the picture to come on, but the sound always came on in its normal time. Well, the picture stopped coming on.The TV is disgustingly filthy, so im going to open it up, and blow i all out, which probably wont fix the issue, but itll allow me to at least see in there.I have a picture of the label on the back of the TV, if that helps also.

TV repair help? Reply #1 – March 26, 2006, 09:45:36 PM Dude, be VERY careful if you're going to open that thing up. TVs can hold a charge even after they have been unplugged. At least, that's what I've read.My friend had a TV that had a very strange problem. The picture would "creep" up the screen. If you slapped the side of it (very hard), it would shoot back down and be normal for a few hours. It always amused me that the stereotypical fix for a broken TV actually worked on this one.

TV repair help? Reply #6 – March 27, 2006, 09:55:24 AM I'd place my bet on the flyback transformer - it's sorta like an ignition coil (converts low voltage to very high voltage) and usually when a TV (or computer monitor) makes a sound it's a sign the flyback transformer is going bad Quote Selected
