Re: SONY ORIGINAL PARTS

I have a Sony STR-DE725. It has been working fine up until today, when I powered it on - the unit powers up, the LED's come on, but the screen on the front remains blank, and no audio will come through the speakers.

Any suggestions? If this is a known problem and a particular part needs to be replaced, I would love to know about it.

Thanks

  I have the exact same issue. The day mine had a problem was Sunday Morning. Have you found any way to fix it?

    Nope, havent heard anything yet. I emailed Sony just now and hopefully will recieve a response soon. If nothing else, I'll take this to a repair shop, and then ask them what was needed when I get it back. I'll let you know if I find anything else out.

      I am actuall looking at replacing it and my DVD player with an HT-6800P. My DVD player seems to be on its way out right now as well unfortunately:( Although can't justify a big expenditure unless it is for christmass, so I wait and see what it is that you wind up doing. I would prefer to just replace the DVD player and my antiquated speaker system with the same amount, possibly with a DVDR instead...

  One of these was just given to me because it had the same symptom as yours. I looked inside and found 2 blown fuses. A friend worked on it while I was at the beach in Mexico. He found a shorted 2SC-1620 output transistor and repaced it for $12.50 including shipping. Works great now. Sony wanted $30.00 for the same part.
