Hi,
I have a Sonya Bravia KD55XG8096BU smart TV which is 15 months old.
A couple of evenings ago the screen suddenly started flickering and then vertical lines appeared, went fuzzy and became unable to watch.
I switched it off, went to bed and all was fine the following evening until about an hour later the screen went weird again.
Called the Sony helpline and they said to do a factory reset which seemed to work but late last night after watching it for about 3 hours the inevitable happened! I had the Sony guys email address but they aren't working at the weekend!
It is just out of warranty (usually I pay for a repair package but stupidly I didn't this time and Team Knowhow want to charge £95.00 to take it away to look at and if it is not a manufacturer fault I would have the option to pay for parts to have it fixed!
Can anyone look at the pictures I've attached and offer advise please as to whether it is likely to be cost effective to fix or whether I need to buy a new TV
Many thanks in advance
