Sony TV screen is blank

The projector lamp needs to be replaced. I suggest you replace it with a SONY lamp-- generic lamps which cost considerably less DO NOT last. A generic bulb we purchased lasted 90 days. --an original SONY lamp last in excess of 3 years.

I'm assuming your Sony Bravia has a VGA port, also known on some tv's as a "PC" port, check to make sure first; if that's the case, you can simply run to your local retail store (Walmart, Target, Radioshack) or continue looking here online or at ebay for a VGA cable. The only thing to watch for in that case was that each end of the cable look the same, with pins rather than holes. Simple.

Don't know but do know that my Sony model is just 3 years old and it would not control the tv at all.

There is an after-market power cable available that connects to a USB port. I have mine plugged into the port on my TV and the whole system is invisible from the front.

I had the same issue on my Sony TV until I changed the TV output to 'Audio System' rather than front speakers. Have a look in your TV settings

I have a 50 inch Sony - The picture was getting darker as time went by... I told my husband.. I think it's the bulb.. he didn't believe me... then the picture went completely... guess what... it was the bulb... and the tv has been working fine since. Hope this helps.

Probably something simple. Check to see if you have selected the right input. My kiddo once played Xbox on it and I couldn't get the TV up until I found out he had messed with it and changed the input.Don't know about a fuse or reset button. Neither is visible in the back

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

Epsilon, Have you been able to resolve this problem with your SONY flat screen tv. Please let me know.

Probably it's some issue from your TV. Try timing how long it takes on that to check if it's a constant or variable.For solving the issue try updating the firmware. If that does not work search on forums for your specific tv brand/model, that should help you even more than customer support

I found a partial workaround solution for my problem (like yours) of the unit turning off a few seconds after turning it on. I press (and hold) the Stop button, and then the On button, and continue to press them both until the blue SA-CD light and the blue MultiChannel light go off, and then back on again. After that, the unit works ! Except that the LCD panel remains blank. Many (perhaps all) of the front panel buttons work. I still need to experiment to see if the remote works, and to what extent. Sony gave me the choice of a refurbished unit, or to repair mine, under warranty. Anybody got an opinion on which is the way to go ?

I am not sure what would be causing this to happen. Should be a plug and play device. Wondering if you can go into TV menu and shift screen? Brian

I just use my Sony only to watch TV and I'm very happy with it. You should ask a Sony dealer to help you. Sorry.

I also, get a blank screen? I was going to send it back, but I wasn't sure if it was something I wasn't doing
