How can I fix a TV that shuts off randomly?

How do I fix a Sony TV if its timing light flashes 8 times when it shuts off, but when I turn it on, it stays on for 4 minutes and then shuts off?

  • Answer:

    Error codes repeat as in n blinks, pause, n blinks, etc. Considering that the TV has three picture tubes, one for red, green and blue, the most likely reason for no light is no high voltage (HV) to the the picture tubes.
