This TV has sound but no picture. A couple of seconds after switch on, the fluorescent tubes strike but then go out a second or so later. Power light flashes about 8 times and then stays solid green.
So far I have not found a source of a manual despite a fairly thorough search.
In the event of some sort of picture failure, is it normal for the tubes to switch off or is the main problem that they won't stay on eg excess current or maybe over voltage?
I have found 3 surface mount fuses and each is intact voltages at those point s seems to be 1.25v 3.5v and nearly 13v which could be a rather high 12v. Voltage drops across the 1.25v and 3.5v fuses are a few 10s of mV but the drop across the 12-13v fuse is only 1-2mV suggesting low current draw at 12v.
Has any one got any related Sony LCD TV experience or a source of manuals please.
TIA
Bob
