Sony Bravia TV isn't working!

[dcex1]

Hi, I am currently having a major issue with my TV, which is a Sony Bravia 40W2000 TV. It started yesterday, where initially the tv wouldnt turn on and the standby light kept repeating a pattern of blinking 9 times then pausing, which kept on being repeated. We unplugged it to see if that would help, and now when we try to turn it on, the light turns green and the screen appears but only for a very short amount of time, after which it just goes black (the screen turns off) and then a clicking noise happens twice and then it sometimes will repeat this, and the screen never actually turns on.

I dont know if this is a known issue with many TVs, but can someone please help as I don't want to have to fork out money for a new TV anytime soon. Thank you so much for any help or replies!!

The most common failure mode is bad power supply capacitors. These are usually 85 degree rated and should be replaced with 105 degree rated caps. Unless you are handy with a soldering pencil you might be able to check with Sony and get a replacement board. They would also be able to tell you what the 9 blink code specifically means.
