Damaged LCD TV Because of Lightning

**eminem6480** · October 6th, 2014 10:58 AM

Guys, 2 days ago nung kasagsagan ng kidlat nadamage yung Sony LCD TV namin. May ilaw ang power indicator pero black out ang LCD panel display. Nag rerespond yung power indicator kapag pinipindot ang remote control (blinking). Out of warranty na po.

Plan namin na dahil sa Sony service center. Just asking:
- usually sa ganitong damage, anong mga parts ang affected?
- any idea sa service charge ng Sony for checkup at repair?
- sa mga nakatry na magparepair ng Sony LCDs, magkano inabot ng total repair price?
- any idea kung may marunong at trusted na repair shop maliban sa authorized service center? Kung sa Raon kaya?

Maraming salamat!

amuyin mo kung amoy sunog yung tv sa likod nya sa mga vents.
Check mo by introducing a signal ( laptop, game console, dvd player etc )
Check mo kung gumagana yung on screen menu
Kung gumaganayung menu problem nyan e backlight.
Nagkaroon ng elec surge yan so most likely psu problem una check,
Now kung may sound e sa av board yan likely yung sync sep ic.
Pero im sure psu yan..gawin mo lahat ng check ng mabilis kasi kung matagal e may madadamay ng part kapag psu problem

have it brought to the sony repair shop po.
raon might be cheaper and they might even be able to fix it, but... hirap punta raon.. masikip.. matrapik.. madaming tao.. malayo paradahan, jeepney stop, or bus stop, sa pintuan ng repair shop.
the sony repair shop near kalaw has parking 2 feet from the door.
whatever problem you may be able to diagnose DIY-style, you will still have to bring it to the fixit shop, unless you are an electronics-repair savvy..
and no... they do not pad repair expenses, as far as i know..
magkano repair fee? natural, depende kung ano ang nasira.. mura lang diagnosis fee.. they will even advise you if it "is not worth repairing"..

we had experience comparing sony repair shop versus ex-sony technician.. hindi nagkakalayo..

Stay away of Raon as surely you'll be in more trouble than having it fix. For one, LCD tvs goes by board level repairs meaning palit board, rather than component level lang. This is how they are gonna take care of pag sa service center. But then, highly qualified techs an gagawa at cgurado kang it will be fixed. Your cheap version will be a trusted neighborhood electronics repair shop who has the ability to diagnose device level on pcb. He should have the right tools though rather than a trial & error method.

YOu can bring it to a Sony Centre near you.

If they can't fix it, they will instead give you an 8K voucher so you can have an 8k discount for your next tv purchase (which of course, is a Sony).

Same thing happened to an aunt, her old Sony LCD TV conked out (screen was damaged, because something was thrown at it). She bought a 40" WB600 internet TV instead. She's almost 80 so she's not really into internet but she just bought it because I recommended it (for her grandchildren).

Guys, wala namang amoy sunog sa likod ng TV. Still no signal nung kinabit ko yung laptop through HDMI, same with Xbox. Blackout talaga ang display and no sound.

We've decided na sa Sony Service Center na dalhin yung unit. PhP600 ang checkup fee. Kung lumabas na yung total repair cost at malapit lang sa brand new baka hindi na namin ituloy ang pagpapagawa.

Maraming salamat guys sa input nyo, I really appreciate it. Thanks!

Most likely a power surge caused by lightning instead of hitting the antenna

in my experience, the more common problem with my sonys is... the power switch!
for some reason, madali siyang masira.. fortunately, madali ring gawin.
sabi nga ng isang tech, lagyan ko na lang ng mechanical toggle switch, at forever fixed na siya.. heh heh.
