I had the same thing happen with another brand of TV (Dell) - TV would turn on, sound was fine, but the picture was black. It was knackered, basically. A little bit of investigation on t'internet revealed the fact that many others had the same problem and the model was faulty. I phoned Dell and at first, they tried to fob me off, saying my warranty had expired - it was maybe 2 years old. I told them that was irrelevant, as a TV should last longer than 2 years. The guy then immediately agreed to send me another one, which arrived the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take any pish about the guarantee - it does not matter. A TV should last longer than a year, and anything sold in the UK has to be fit for purpose. Type in the model number and words like "faulty", "black screen", "no picture" into google - if others have had the same problem, you are bound to come across it being discussed on one forum or another.

Flogel7 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Cheers for the help... Hopefully I get somewhere with Sony tomorrow... I didn't expect to be having problems like this with a Sony TV after only 18 months.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect to be having problems like this with a Sony TV after only 18 months.... It will be a fault. My parents have had a Sony 26 inch T.v for over 10 years, Just needed a few fuse I think.

Cigaro Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 As Doug says, possibly try the SCART. If its out slightly you will lose some stuff. Saying that, every time I've had it its been the sound thats gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
