We have an 11 year old sony TV that has worked well until the last month. It turns on and we have sound, but no picture for a few minutes. Then the picture flashes off and on for another couple minutes and then the TV is fine. What could be the problem?

Answer:
Probably a high voltage problem. I'd bet the flyback transformer or the circuitry around it is going out. Take it in if you really like it. But you're really better off getting a modern HD set.

LOL--not an electronics expert by any means, but would assume the picture tube is burning out....you might begin to research replacing your TV, and shopping for the best possible deal! Would hate to see you miss all the fine offerings available on the networks, lol....

It's just that it's getting old and more than likely is on it's last leg...TV's don't last forever, I would say an 11 year run is pretty good...Good luck with that..
