Hi,
First post on here and hoping that I can get some info because I can't find many other places for this TV.
I have just been given a Sony KL50W2U (KL-50W2U) Rear Projection TV. The previous owner said that it served him well and then stopped dead. He called a service engineer out to look at it and apparently "a board has gone - looking at about £600 to replace it !". Maybe true or maybe usual engineer talk (ie. a fuse has blown but I'm gonna make it an expensive job).
This is what happens -
a) Plug in, switch on.
b) LED on front glows amber.
c) Press power button on front panel, LED flashes red (approx twice a second) continuously.
d) There is a faint high pitch tone coming from the inside of the TV.
e) There is no sound from the speakers.
f) There is no light/image from the screen.
I know this is a long shot, but anyone have any ideas ?
I do have a good electronics background so can do some testing on it myself as I don't really want to get a Sony engineer out due to the cost if he is only going to tell me it's only fit for the scrap heap.
Also, just in case, can anyone recommend a good place in the UK for Sony spares (new or second hand/recon).
Thanks in advance for ANY information you can give.
Jim
