Sony TV Power Board Problems
- Sony TV will not turn on.
- Sony TV keeps turning off.
- Sony TV clicks repeatedly, then turns on.
- Sony TV repeatedly turns off and on repeatedly by itself.
The Cause
One or more capacitors is blown on the power board. Many power boards use capacitors that have a lower voltage rating than they should. They work fine for a while, but then swell or burst – causing the power board to fail.
Possible Solutions
As with many problems, there is more than one way to fix a failed Sony TV Power Board. Really though, they boil down to two options: repair or replace.
