Ok BG pull a chair up to the bar. 🙂 Calling Sony Tech support gets you a fellow in India with an American first name. Read him the serial number and he will tell you the OEM replacement part number. This is different than what is printed on the actual circuit board as they don’t use those numbers for replacement parts and their system would not recognize my number that I’m staring at anyway. But before that, you will be subjected to a new sales pitch for a new TV rather than fix the old one. Annoying. Order part and its is wrong. Try again, new number and assured it is correct. Wrong again. Online sources each return different or conflicting part numbers. Maybe I had the one wierd model, but still….
So there is the full story to why I don’t wanna deal with Sony any more. Used to be top of line products but not anymore. I’m actually liking Samsung stuff very much lately. YMMV.
