I bought my XBR400 new in August 2000, never a problem. I love this TV. I even calibrated it with Avia and Video Essentials, awesome picture. Two and a half years now and not a flaw, no geometry problems, no discolored corners, nothing. Until this past Saturday (Jan 4), I suddenly have no picture, but I do have sound :frowning: . When I first turn it on it doen't make the loud "KACHUNG" degaussing sound anymore, it is still a little kachung but really subdued. The screen still appears as if it is off, nothing changes when it is turned on. The standby light blinks 5 times and that is it, but sound for the ANT channels. I unplugged it overnight, to try the rest thing, and it still has the same problem. Has anybody else had this happen? If so what was the fix? Is it the power supply? The tube?
I'm really upset about this, this was my baby. Service tech's can't come out for weeks (all booked up) and I am not lugging that heavy bastage up stairs to cart it off somewhere. Parts? where do I get parts, if I want to try and replace them myself? I'm not affraid to get my hands a little dirty, and I'm fully aware of the High Voltages inside of there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brent
