Hi, I'm new to the site but was referred here by a knowledgeable friend. I'm relatively ignorant about TVs, but I'm having a problem with mine and would love to find a way to fix it myself rather than purchasing a new one.
It's a Sony LCD Projection set, model KDF-42WE655. Manufactured in 2005. Never had an issue with it, but the other day I turned it on with this result: the central indicator light flashes green 5 times, no display whatsoever, then the green light becomes red and blinks 10 times. It then pauses for a few seconds, and blinks red 10 times again, on a cycle. Never get any kind of display. The Lamp indicator light does NOT come on, so unless there's a problem with the indicator light, I don't think the bulb is bad.
I tried the basic things I could think of; unplugged for a while and tried again, same result. Took off back panel to blowdry dust out with cool air, got a lot of dust out but no change. Checked connections, as best as I could, everything seemed fine.
Is this a common problem with this set? Am I simply doomed? If this has been addressed elsewhere on the forum I'd really appreciate a link, I wasn't able to find it with my searching.
Thanks for reading, and for any help/suggestions you might be able to give.
