The TV turns on ok and screen is clear but there is a noticeably loud buzz at first. After ~15 mins, the buzzing gets louder and the screen starts to get grainy and the TV would turn itself off. After a min or so, I can still turn the TV on again and it would work fine but would the cycle again. I also notice the back feels unusually hot. At first, I ‘though’ it was a bad power supply but I am not a qualified technician to be sure. I decided to do some simple diagnose and with the back cover off, I can easily trace the buzzing down to this round and black component piece. It would be too easy if this is the actual culprit but it is worth a try. Can someone help me identify this part? What is it called and where can I source it? I figure it is worth swapping it out for a new one to see if it helps. I contacted Sony and they have a replacement board for $340 (ouch)! I can buy a new TV for not much more… For anyone wanting/needing a replacement board for a Sony TV, contact 800-538-7550. http://picasaweb.google.com/baibwu/SonyTv/photo#5235934799285929762 http://picasaweb.google.com/baibwu/SonyTv/photo#5235934693733506978 Thanks in advance![/quote]
