sony kp 53v80	Can't Post

I just have a question for you regarding a problem with my TV......... I have a Sony rear projection TV model # kp-53v80 year 1999 when I turn it on it makes a hiss then a pop sound no sound coming from the speakers after that ........... after the TV is turned on it has these 3 lines green red and blue at the top of the screen kind wave no picture is seen just black............ when looking at the menu on the tv the bottom is curving up and the top is curving down and looks all most like 3D(each word is in layers) i cant get any tv picture just the menu............ it it worth it to fix this tv and or how much do you think it would be to fix it i have read it could be some chip or the bulbs might need to be replaced would like to keep this tv if its not going to cost to much to fix........ heres some pictures http://img707.imageshack.us/i/1001578l.jpg/ ............ http://img232.imageshack.us/i/1001579f.jpg/ ............. http://img13.imageshack.us/i/1001580fq.jpg/ thanks for your time

First problem sounds like it may have a high voltage arc?

Second problem is classic convergence: check fuses - change ICs - check bias resistors.

If it were only the convergence problem, for a shop to do: $250.00 on up.

If you do the work yourself AND obtain say two fuses, two ICs and let's say 6 - 8 bias resistors, thermal grease, desoldering braid, soldering iron, shipping and handling on the parts ... grand total approximately $50 - $70. Of course, if you already have iron, etc. even cheaper. Presuming also that "that's all" that's involved.
