The model is kp-53v85 google it to see if it will help.Tv screen repair help?My educated guess is that you have defective electrolytic capacitor(s). Sony (among others) is quite noted for capacitor/power supply problems. It is impossible to accurately troubleshoot the problem without making a service call.Tv screen repair help?You can call or email the manufacturer and see what they say. Sony customer service support center are not very helpful at times and just want you to take it to a repair shop.

Price of Plasma tv have dropped, you can now get a Panasonic 50%26quot; Plasma for under $1,000. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on tvs. You will notice that Panasonic has a tv recommended in each price category of entry level to the high end. While Samsung, Sony and Toshiba does not (April issue). Other brands like LG, Sharp, Sanyo and Toshiba did not even get mentioned.
