Help with Wega

[siftings81]

Just got back from buying the 27" sony wega televison from Sears. Got everything connected, yet nothing when I turn it on. Just the standby/timer light flashes. I can hear it "click" when I turn it on, but nothing after that. Any suggestions, or should I just take it back?

You mean nobody told you that the images aren't displayed on a screen like conventional TVs but are beemed directly to your brain? Its the latest and greatest in High-Definition TV. I sure hope you bought the radiation filter, if not you're pretty much screwed...

nope, nothing appears on the screen after that or any button. Just hear the "click".

Those things don't just "click". When it charges up and surges on, it makes a sound like a spring cutting loose. Was it fresh out of the box or a floor model of some kind?

i have a 32" wega, and ya it is very loud when it comes on. sounds like you have a bad unit.

brand new, I've also noticed that it makes the same noise when I plug it in, without waiting for me to press the power button. Is that normal?

does your standby light blink until the picture turns on?

I believe it has power coming to the unit, even with the power button off. I think it's for the sake of holding your settings, but I'm not sure.
