TV Experts? (Repair req'd)

[Nick Goodall]

I just wanted to see if anyone knows where to get a Power supply repair kit for a Sony 40" LCD (KDL-40S2010).

Mine appears to have blown due to a power outage, the Green and Amber lights flicker away and it makes this constant clicking sound like it's trying to fire up.

According to an Engineer at work, it's probably the Power supply (internal) which should be repairable with a replacement power supply repair kit but i can't find any online.

I can't get on Ebay so will probably try that later but just thought i'd check as there's usually a few clued up people on here :-)

Thanks!

Mine was doing the clicking, it was the power caps leaking.
I took the back off and replaced all the caps which were bulging, it now works perfectly!

If no joy or it's definately a psu then note the board number on the tv and have a google.

Gulp - sounds like i may need to take the back off then lol.... this could get interesting haha.

It was weird, just the way it went off and then wouldn't come back on - Engineer at work explained that these Power supplies are general and can be set for 110 volts or up to 240 volts for UK use - he said it's like they lose power for a short time so instantly think they're then a 110 power supply so when they receive 240 it causes them to blow?

I'll have to take a look later anyway.... at least if i get the model number and stuff i've got a place to start.

Thanks mate.
