I have a Sony XBR widescreen CRT HDTV, and when I went to turn it on this past Saturday, it wouldn't power up. The red "timer/standby" LED blinked in succession 20 or 21 times for the two instances I tried to turn it on.

I have the official Sony service manual for my model, and see that the self-diagnostics give statuses for up to 7 blinks, but nothing more.

I found a tidbit of info on the Sony website recommending to unplug the power cord to the set for a little while and then plug it back in. I tried that and the set has worked ever since, but I am wondering what the problem could have been, and/or if this is a symptom that is indicative of something that needs to be addressed/fixed.


Also, I am considering purchasing a set of boards for this set to have as spares. Does anyone have any good sources for new/refurbished Sony boards to recommend?


Thank you!
