The Sony CRT won't turn on problem (Poll inside)

post #1 of 90

Thread Starter 
So I have had my 34XS955 for about a week and I have already seen the problem where the TV will not come on and you have to unplug it to fix it.

Is this a normal thing for most xs/xbr CRT owners?
How often does it happen?
Should I worry?

Lets do a poll. If you own a xs/xbr model Sony CRT:

1. What model TV do you own?
2. How long have you owned it?
3. How many times have you had this problem happen to your TV?

KD-30XS955
for a year and two months
I think it happened twice, but not sure if the remote was pointed at the TV, anyways the third time I pressed power it powered on, both times, "this" happened during the first two months

if you look at your poll, it seems to happen very early then never again

Yup, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it is a part that is still breaking in.

30XS955 - Maybe once within the first month of ownership. I'm not completely sure. I may not have hit the button fully. I have had my set since December.

No it's not normal to have to unplug a TV to get it to turn on. That would be like having to occasionally push-start your new BMW to get it to start. The TV is defective - have it replaced with a working unit.

Not an HDTV, but I have an old 1993 19" Sony Trinitron in my bedroom where the power supply had to be repaired three times during the warranty. After that, it worked flawlessly for ten years. Then the power supply died again, so it's time for a new TV. I am looking at the new Toshiba 26HF66 right now as a replacement. It's the largest I can get to put on top of my dresser drawer. I wish Sony made a 26", tough.

Forgot to add,

Those five times where I had to unplug the set was within the first month of purchase.
