my trinitron sony tv has the same problem many years ago and solve changing one chip (actually it has 17 years, and works ok) thanks for post this video :)
Thank you very very much. Did what you mentioned and it worked, so far. Had to Googled what vertical ic looks like, but found it and touched up. Yes, this is a very good set and worth trying to figure out what is wrong.
I have a Sony Trinitron TV from 1995 that has been faithful to me but all of a sudden it worked fine and then I shut it off and now it does not come on again. No power what so ever. No sound. Any ideas? The plug is good.
Most likely a problem with the picture tube being weak or a problem in the auto kine bias (AKB) circuit or the power supply.
What happens is that the AKB thinks the tube isn't warmed up, so it keeps the picture blacked out until it thinks it's ready. Or, the CRT stays blacked out because of a problem in the AKB or its power feed.
The set may require professional diagnosis to determine the exact cauase but it may not be worth it, especially if the problem is definitely with the picture tube.

I think it's the CRT being very weak or leaky capacitors

I say vertical IC too. If you change it I think NTE 1788 will match. (TDA 8172) Less than $10.
