That is an AKB circuit error. This can be caused due to bad components on the circuit or even worse a bad picture tube.

afterthought- I noticed that mine would start blinking right away upon being plugged in even before power up. same with yours?

But it is thanks to your post that I'll actually have some useful information to give the folks when I call - The response that narrowed it down to the eeprom/white balance problem might make it easier to get a realistic estimate.

how bout yours? any luck?
I also had a kv35v35 that lasted a bit longer, but that one I managed to revive (for a while) by turning up the focus screw. I forget exactly where, but there is a HUGE posting list of folks who might end up with a class action suit. Try googling "sony trinitron petition OR problems". At the very least you certainly won't feel alone. It's shocking how many posts there are with the same problem

no, but I haven't thrown it out yet either. Last week I found out that Sears actually has a mobile tv repair unit of sorts and I mean to call and find out if it's worth it. It would be such a shame to just toss it. I'll post again if I get a quote, but from the growing # of sets being given away on craigslist I'm not real optimistic.

you are a genious. With the bloody crts weighing more than a buck-fifty nowadays, this could be the the new thing in repair calls = considerably cheaper than having a tech come to you and much easier than dragging it around.
BTW, my kv36fs200 is doing the EXACT same thing. Judging by the similar threads I have seen, I am starting to think this is another revenue ploy under the guise of "quality assurance" (HP is notorious) Seems like an info banner would do the same without disabling the set. I would hate to add Sony to my s**t list, but recently the brand has lost a lot of the staying power that used to give me such confidence.

So, what did you do about your kv36fs200?
Did you get it fixed?
