My Sony WEGA KD-34XBR960 suddenly died . It will not turn on and it remains on standby which flashes 6 times and then pauses, and this repeats (although it has occasionally flashed 5 or 7 times as well). I understand that this represents a code of some sort indicating a particular problem. I'm also assuming that this will require maintenance and money, and so am considering buying a new TV (this one is 7 yrs old). Has anyone experienced this particular problem with their SONY? And if so, is it worth salvaging?
