Sony KP51HW40 HV problem

[captainvideo462002@yahoo.]

The customer says that the set "comes on predominently blue, led
flashes 8 times and then the TV shuts down". He has the service manual
and he apparently looked this up and he says that it mentions "an HV
transformer problem". I was thinking more like the splitter because I
figured that if the transformer was bad then why would he initially
get only one color and then shut down? Can anyone offer a more
educated guess on this than I can? Thanks, Lenny.

These sets have been known for shorted CRTs, but they usually give a 5
blink, IIRC. I guess you could have one pulling the HV down. HV divider is
more common than the transformer, IME.
