hi larry,
i have a Sony KP-51HW40 and i was looking at your "Understanding Sony Television Blinking Codes" article.. My tv's stanby light blinks 8 times but it has green and some faded blue halos, then the screen turns all green then shuts off. i was wondering what could be the problem and how much it would be to get my tv back up.
Understanding Sony Television Blinking Codes
Categories: Televisions and Projectors
Many of the later model Sony TV’s have a built in self-diagnosis function. If the timer/standby indicator is blinking, this could be an indication of a problem with the unit. The diagnostic blinking will occur automatically with no action required by you to engage it. Read on to learn what these diagnostic codes mean, and how you can use that information to get up and running again.

the faded blue halos is most like an inexpensive convergence issue and not a big deal to fix it yourselves but the fact that the picture turns green is not good as the green picture tube is bad and has to be replaced and is not cheap to repair. about 300 or so I would say.

Hello Larry. I could really use your help.
I bought my 60" KDS-60A2000 from Circuit City with an extended warranty plan. Have major trouble getting Advantage Protection (GE) to help. The tv would not turn on. It gave flashing green that would go to red, which I didn't count but now I wish I did after reading all the posts here. Anyways, everytime this happened I would un plug the tv, remove the lamp and spray all the dust out. Replace the lamp and the tv would go back to normal?
This has been going on for a most of a year. About 6 weeks ago it didn't work and turned out that I must have bumped the lamp or something cause it looked broken inside. I was forced to buy a new one for just over $200.00 and for the last 6 week all was fine but ti did it again this morning, So I opened it up, removed the lamp, blew all the dust out, put the lamp back in and I'm back in business. At least for now.
Can you please give me some trouble shooting tips and possible send me a repair guide/manuel.

I have a Sony KDL-40Z4500 which is only a couple of months old and while I was watching tv it powered off and the standby indicator started to flash. I didn't take notice of how many at the time but I think it was 3 times in succession. I then turned the power completely off by pulling the power plug and when I turned it back on it came on without a picture and strange japanese looking symbols for the component name. It shut down and started to flash 8 times with a pause. Can you please help as the manual just tells me to contact sony service.

My Sony Wega HDTV kd36xs955 no audio or video on power up the Standy red led will flash 6 times, then repeat 6 over and over. I can unplug the tv for a day, and it will come up and work great. This has been happening every other day. The set is just 5 years old.
