Answer
Sorry, that model does not come up with anything on the Sony Australia help site.  Are you certain of the model number?

In any event, you said there is power on most parts;  what parts do not have power?  Seems that is where you want to investigate.

I don't use schematics or service manuals, sorry.  I go by experience and common knowledge.

My guess is there is a power supply failure or some section of it that you must investigate and find out what has gone wrong.  There could be two sets of rectifiers; one good and one bad, for example.
