You may have to replace the projection bulb, that by itself is more than £150.

Pay a bit more and get a new plasma or LCD.

Save your pennies for a new LCD or plasma TV. Back projection TVs in general (not just Sony) are notorious for being difficult to ship without breaking something and spare parts, if and when you can get them, are expensive if something goes wrong. Argos' end of catalogue stock warehouse were doing 42" LCD TVs at £350 up until recently (and still may be, haven't been since May).

Sony RP tvs had so many problems that they quit making them years ago. Don't buy it.

I would NOT recommend Sony..!!
