Hi,
I am having lots of problems with my 37EX403U Bravia tv, today I had a new one delivered by amazon to replace the first which I believed was faulty but this new tv is exhibiting the exact same symptoms.
Basically the set seems to be resetting, or I suppose you could call it a partial reset where by the screen will turn off, a few seconds later the green power led will go out for a second & then come back on (the red standby light never lights up) followed by the sony logo appearing on screen & then the tv works as normal for about 10 minutes or so until the cycle repeats itself. I've not been counting the gap between the screen blanking out but it certainly feels like it's happening at a regular interval.
This new set today literally reset within minutes of switching it on, in fact it happened during the inital setup process which the tv had to start all over again after it reset itself.
Now through testing it seems that if I unplug the 3 hdmi devices I have connected to the tv, which are a sony hd/dvd recorder (hdr-hxd995), a philips divx dvd player & my pc connected via a dvi to hdmi cable, the resetting cycle stops. The first tv worked fine with these 3 devices connected for nearly 10 days or so before the problem first started, yet this new tv is doing it straight away!
It's possible I've ended up with 2 sets from amazon that have the same identical fault, but then what's the chances of that! Could faulty hdmi cables cause the kind of symptoms I'm experiencing with my tv? I did a search on google about faulty hdmi cables but can't find any reference to them causing a tv to reset, in fact the more I think about it it's almost like the tv software is crashing & resetting hence the screen blank.
Any input from the experts on here would be greatly appreciated as I really don't know what to do now, get amazon to send out yet another replacement or get in touch with sony & see what they say.
