The Sony Trinitron KV-32S15 is a powerful and innovative digital TV that is an excellent addition to any home entertainment center. If you plan to make the significant investment of a top-of-the-line TV like this one, it is well worth your while to know address any issues you may encounter when using the TV. Even seemingly catastrophic problems like the TV not powering on can sometimes be solved with some simple and painless home troubleshooting skills.
Instructions
1. Check the power cable's connection to the electrical source into which it is plugged. Even a slightly loose power cable can cause this problem, so secure any cords that may come loose. Also, if you use a surge protector, make sure its power cord has not come loose from the electrical outlet into which it is plugged.
2. Plug the KV-32S15's power cable into an alternate electrical source. If you use a standard electrical outlet to power the KV-32S15, simply plug its power cord into a different outlet. If you use a surge protector, plug the KV-32S15's power cord into a different slot on the surge protector, a different surge protector altogether or simply bypass the surge protector by plugging the cord into a single electrical outlet. This is a good way of diagnosing the source of the problem; an electrician should examine any malfunctioning outlets. Any malfunctioning surge protectors should be replaced immediately.
3. Contact Sony customer support. If indeed the power cable has gone out, its replacement may still be under warranty. Contacting Sony is therefore a good first step before spending any of your own money.
