SONY TV models are and have been the best products for many years. They are known for their reliability and durability, and like their counterparts, are now being manufactured with various built-in user friendly features. We still receive calls from customers who want to repair their 20 year old CRT TV because of how durable it was. Sony have changed a lot in their designs and technology over the years to compete with other brands like Samsung and LG.

Nevertheless, because it is an electronic device and much like all other electronic devices, your SONY TV can fail anytime without notice.

Common Failures in SONY Models:

No picture / No backlight
No picture but can hear sound
Not turning on
No light flashing
Standby light flashing a number of times
Making a clicking noise
Turning on and off continuously
Turns off after a few seconds
Wifi not connecting or identifying connections
Lines on the screen

Usual fault on Sony models is that their main board would stop responding which leads to the TV not turning on at all. This fault is sometimes cured by applying a software upgrade to its Main board or sometimes by replacing the software IC on the main board itself with a new software. 80% to 90% of the times, any TV make would have Power supply fault, which can usually be repaired by replacing the capacitors on the board. But there are also instances where the Main board is causing the fault and not letting the power supply board turn on. The main board and/or the software on the main board is also to blame sometimes when the TV is in on and off cycle loop. When you get no picture on the TV, the cause of the fault may also be the Logic or the TCON board.

It is quite difficult to access where the fault is coming from till the engineer diagnose the fault. Many times customer do ask us that surely we would have come across this fault before, to which we reply that yes we do and we do try to give a round figure as to how much it may cost them, but because we have not diagnosed the fault or have looked at the TV we can only guess. Because, even though the fault the customer may be describing to us over the phone may sound complex; it has been found that sometimes the solution was very simple which we resolved upon our visit.

Broken Screens:

If the SONY TV (or any other TV for that matter) has a damaged and broken screen panel. Then it is never economical for repair. It will cost the customer more than the TV’s value to have a new screen replaced. Screen panel makes up for 90% of the TV’s value and when you add labour on top, it will never be viable to have a screen replaced.
