My Tv Bravia Kdl40s504 Can't Read Dvds Anymore.

My TV Bravia KLD40S504 cannot read DVDs anymore from either my DVD player Sony HDMI DVP-NS78H or my DVD player Sony DVP-SR101P. I have checked the settings to no avail. All I get is a "No signal" sign at the bottom of the screen. What should I do ?

What I'm guessing is you have tried two DVD players through a HDMI input, and the TV isn't receiving a signal. So either that HDMI cable has been bent and it's no longer any good, or that HDMI input is bad on the TV. Try another input and another cable. I have seen many input jacks that have been damaged. Get a flashlight and a magnify lens and compare the jack with another one. I none of the HDMI inputs work then go to the component inputs. The repair cost to replace the "main" board will be pretty high just to get HDMI jacks to work. Part Number A-1727-312-A  List $150 and $150 core plus labor, S/H and tax
