This is one where our resident expert on Sony, Nigel may have some idea of what the problem is. My brother in law brought this Sony set along for me to have a look at to see whether I could do anything with it. I see on the back that there is an "f" connector which would indicate it has a satellite tuner built in. Something that has been spoken about on other threads. Anyhow the problem is when you switch on there is no picture. Sound comes on loud and the channel is locked on ITV. The set neither responds to the remote handset or the volume and channel up/down buttons on the side of the set. I have opened the back of the set and the only possibility that I can see is a capacitor on the power supply board which is showing slight signs of bulging. The capacitor is fairly large and rated at 450V, 270uf.It is the only thing that really stands out. Anyway I have ordered a replacement which I expect to be delivered this week and will go ahead and solder it on to the board. So the question is could this be the fault with this set or is it likely to be something more significant.
