Just an update... The servicer is scheduled to come out next week to replace the "A" and "D" boards which are the IC convergence and power supply board - which means my display stays at home. They are just going to transfer over my EPROM which I'm told is pretty easy to do. I just hope I...

All in all, I've been thinking of just dumping this TV. I've had four different issues with it in two years time - it's obviously a lemon. Who knows what's next? Surely something. I'm just beyond fed up with it as it's caused me enough frustration already. Furthermore, and no offense to anyone...

Now my servicer wants to pick up my TV and keep it for a couple of weeks to do diagnostic testing. I wonder if this is Sony's advice to them. It makes me a bit nervous moving something like this; so big and heavy as I worry about the screen getting scratched or something, however, I'm not sure...

Thanks for the tip. However, my servicer (the only one I can deal with through my extended warranty) doesn't know what the problem can be. So, he suggested I write up a very detailed e-mail of the problem which he will forward to Sony to see what they suggest (which I just submitted). He also...

Steve, Since this problem began (except for the initial brownout) I've been using a Belkin power surge/conditioner/UPS which uses simulated sine waves. Any chance this is causing it?

Just an update, I have noticed a couple of smaller instances - in both cases the picture didn't go out at all - but there was a 6-8" white horizontal line (almost static looking) which appeared for less than half a second - no noise or anything. My convergence was slightly off, but not...

Thanks, Steve. I'm *hoping* it's just something that will pass. I figure to play things on the safe side and NOT have someone come out until the issue worsens or gets me more frustated. As the service repair told me themselves, TV repair is like surgery. You only want to go in when you...

Last night after my set was on for about 30 minutes, I noticed a short horizontal line of light -- - really quick -- on the middle of the screen. Like before, but much shorter than last time and no popping noise at all. It didn't mess up my convergence however and for the next five hours it was...

I have a two year old Sony KP-57WS520 (CTR RPTV). About three weeks ago I had a minor 2-3 second brown out at home. As a result, it threw off my TV's convergence a bit (most notably the right hand side of screen). I went into the service menu (very familiar with) and corrected it. Then...
