Sony Trinitron KV-32S66 Problem Symptom #1 

i got same problem... So i'll check the sodering cable hope thats the only problem.

my moms tv had the same problem, just check all the soder joints and redo them and it should work like new, its a common problem in that model

possibly a bad flyback had the same problem with 2 of those tvs i owned

Remove the screws holding the back of the TV on Once the back cover is off find the red lead coming from the tube itself and following it to a circuit board called the G2 If you look closely, there are 2 plastic screws each labeled "SCREEN" of "CREEP"; and the other is labeled "FOCUS" The one labeled "SCREEN" or "CREEP" is the one you want to adjust. Turn it just a hair clockwise (maybe a little more depending on the severity of the problem) until you see a picture. ;-)

Mine died last week. It would power up you'd here about 10 sec of audio then it would shut itself off. And then there's is flashing led?

@mrlichenstein Sony tv's built around 1995 had tube problems.The picture will start flashing off and on. We used to go out to customer's homes and adjust the screen control on the back but it's just a temporary fix. I don't know if Sony monitors have this problem but sony tv's do. Used to manage a tv repair shop.

my sony 35'' trinitron wont come on or say a word what could it be ? or should i just toss it and save the $80 service fee to look at it help!

Ours is also a 32" Sony Trinitron (KV-21X5U) - had it since early 90s and has been great to us all this time - excellent sharp picture, better than many out now. We just had the exact same problem - the other day it made a small 'pop' and the TV suddenly switched off. identical symptoms now: standby light blinks but picture never comes up. Any advice? If it can be fixed reasonably cheaply then I'd rather not pay for a new one - as this time last week it was still offering a great service !!

my Sony Trinitron tv have a picture and audio but after 2 to 5 minutes sound is ok but video disapeared, please help us on how to fix it.

Your picture tube is in short, you need to bridge the BIAS circuit or use a Rejuvenator in order to remove the short.

@mrlichenstein didn't know that...thanks for the info...I'm now 62 years old and have been messing around with electronics a long time but learn something more everyday.

@whiskeyify I wouldn't be so sure. I have two Dell branded Trintron computer monitors and they are still chugging along and strong. Only issues I've had with them is the screens will gradually get brighter and brighter. I do have access to software to keep the screens down and looking excellent. ;)

@whiskeyify As far as I know my monitors don't have bad tubes. They get bright because a major bug in the firmware for the monitors. The computer monitors made between 2000-2002 suffer from it. The firmware is designed to compensate for the aging of the tubes and it works quite well. Unfortunately, it also increases the G2 voltage after every adjustment and this increase in the voltage results in a brighter screen. So far I've had to adjust my monitors twice and it's almost time for another.

Is that a '93? My Dad has one that's still going strong, and the picture isn't the worst I've ever seen.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLE WITH MINES HOW CAN I FIX THIS PROBLEM?

@Sprafikk no hdmi in those years... i never seen an hdmi port in an old CRT before but there are probably some giant CRT capable of hdmi or 720p

mine start doing that a couple of months ago and i had it since 1999 now it doesn't want to come on.

My sony trinitron 27 says its on sleep mode but it turns in but no screen i dont have the remote to it either

I think it could have developed a bad heater. Do you still hear the high pitch sound? (High Voltage from Flyback Transformer)

how can i re channel or cable ready a sony tv??? only 12 channel i can watch what i need to need to do??? we have a cable???

has happened twice to me, with a similar model; unplugged it for 15 minutes and started working like new...but yes get a new one, lol

I have a 28 inch Trinitron and in the user manual it says unplug for four hours.

It's a SONY. That's the problem. Sonies have a "false front", where the outward appearance, as well as excellent picture and sound quality make it look like a high-end set. In reality, it's built with sub-par construction, and low-quality parts. Sony has always ranked high in initial quality, near the bottom of the totem pole when it comes to reliability.

@dewarsmithfamily I recently had the same problem please let me now if u find a fix I would appreciate

Good old sony not the high quality it used to be...the tubes go bad. Just open the back and turn up the screen control. you'll see a large square black box with 2 adjustments....one focus and other screen. This is the high voltage transformer...if you scared use a screwdriver but I have never gotten a shock there...

I remember that hudge Trinitron, It would always over heat!!! I think that old TV had tubes. My one was like 1993 model or older. RetroVintageItems27

my one works perfectly!!!!!!! and i had it since like 13 years!!

@TheNascarfan14 yeah .... i alredy trew it away but thanks any way

the blinking is a code for the problem ,look up for the service manual pdf file see what chasssis the tv is and in there you will find a list of blink codes and the meaning of that code . ex 4 blinks = error on the virtecle sync line, or something else ,and that makes it easy to fix the problem do some diging and you will find the answer , i did with my sony crt tv ...

it's the same as a zenith

@vasquez123100 Unplug It And Leave It Unpluged All Night I Had The Same Problem On My KV32S40

And the TV I have is a hand-me-down :(

1 blinking light

dude, you have the same problem as me!!! Plus i need help to. :( HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!
