I'm sorry that happened to you, hope it's not too much of a pain to get your rightful refund. mugenmidget wrote:When you power it on (if the switch is in the "off" position before you plug it in), the "STANDBY" indicator will flash quickly and you'll see "LINE A" lit up on the side. The rest of the buttons will be hidden until you hit the CONTROL button in the upper right corner. It'll also flash white/make the usual degauss noise when you turn it on, so if that's not happening then there's definitely a problem.
It is completely black (if there's no video signal) when you turn it on, however, so you might want to try hooking up something to LINE A just to double check if there's any kind of picture. But from your comments in this and the other thread it sounds like your seller just packed it poorly/generally lied about its condition as you're probably already aware.
Curious about somethingshateredsoul wrote:Yeah man, very unfortunate. The guy was really worried about getting a negative feedback and gave me a full refund. I guess that was my workout for the day, lol. I've been procrastinating taking it out. I contacted some tv repair guys,they said it would probably cost more than 150.
Perfectly safe to pull the covershateredsoul wrote:Uhm, well since he gave me a full refund I might not mess with that. I don't want to get electrocuted =/
He has another one, I asked my sister if her boyfriend could do me a favor and go test it and pick it up, but he can't. She volunteered to do it but it's way to heavy for her and I don't want her meeting a random stranger.
Take a look, should be just a phillips screwdriver. Maybe post a pic of the back? I just updated the Repair Guide with a list on Sony TVs, I'll add yours if it has the chips.shateredsoul wrote:ok, but it may be a while. Pretty busy, any special tools I may need to pop the cover?
