Sony 60xbr800
I have a sony 60 xbr800, I just replaced the bulb(old one was blown) and the tv will still not work. When I try to turn it on the red standby light flashes for about 45 seconds then the lamp light flashes. I spoke with the place I ordered the lamp from and they suggest I try the ballast. Are there any way to check the ballast and is this the problem?? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Re: Sony 60xbr800
Normally when the ballast start to fail it makes a constant clicking noise, another symptom is that you install a new lamp; it doesn’t have the wattage to turn it on.
There is no simple way to test the ballast; you would need take it out of the tv and have a special volt meter checking all of the voltage inputs and outputs for the correct voltage. If you know a reliable and honest technician tell him about this otherwise you’ll have to bit the bullet and take your chances with one you don’t know.
