   My 4 years old Sony TV has a strange problem.
   The problem is that sometimes it turns off by itself. Once it turns off
   by itself, I can't turn it on again for a while.

   I heard that this is a very common problem among Sony TVs, and I remember
   that many people discussed this subject about 2 months ago.
   Did anyone save the related articles?

   Any advice or comment to solve this strange problem will be appreciated.


I had the same problem. It turned out to be a blown electrolytic in an
inverter supply. It is in a shielded case for RFI reasons. If this has
blown in your case, you may want to replace it with one with a higher
voltage rating, although tere is not a lot of room in the box.
