Good evening.
I would really appreciate any advice/help from anyone, as it is two weeks till Christmas and not having a TV would be a disaster!
Basically, we have a 3 yr old Sony KDF-50E2010. When we turn it on, everything is fine for approx 5 mins (this can vary greatly, ie in the morning it may stay on for an hour), the all of a sudden the TV turns off and the 'blinking' occurs. It Blinks twice.
Having read the post at the top of the page it says: "Two blinks - B+ over current protection (OCP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 2 blink fault. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits"
Being a "non technical" person, could someone explain, how I may be able to fix this problem?
Please, please help me. Regards Rob
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.

i have a Sony KV-36HS20.
when i turn it on, the screen looks really faded and greenish and then it turns off and blinks 5 times..
the service manual says its the white balance..
it says:
Video OUT (IC9001-IC9003) is faulty. (C Board)
CRT drive (IC201) is faulty. (A Board)
G2 is improperly adjusted.
the video out ic, how would i test these? i don't have a way to check the wave forms like the service manual says.
the screen is a bluish green, that could mean the red isnt working?
the picture looks like an old b&w movie.
the CRT drive (ic201) is a very complex ic chip, has about 30 or so micro connectors.. no way to really change that..
and the G2 adjustment, is that the IK blanking thing everyone talks about?

Hi Larry,
About a year ago I found and read your thread on repairing the convergence circuits on Sony rear projection TV's. I printed the article and all Q&A's, ordered new STK IC's from the reputable internet site you suggested. Yesterday, I finally got up the nerve to tackle this project.
Before starting, I took close-up digital photos of the "D" board. I also labelled connections and drew a diagram of the connections. I then removed the "G" and "D" boards and tested the 6 pico fuses on the "D" board and 2 pico fuses on the "G" board using an ohm meter. Surprisingly, all tested good. Because I was expecting different results, I re-checked these results several times, always getting the same results.
I then removed the old STK IC's and installed the new ones. I also coated the backs of the new STK IC's liberally with heat sink compound.
I then reassembled the TV and was ecstatic when the set powered up and displayed a PERFECT picture! I also reset the TV to factory defaults to clear all fault codes.
I watched the TV all day yesterday (6-7 hours) and turned it on and off several times. This afternoon, the TV turned on with the same fantastic picture. After a short time, and all of the sudden, the convergence instantly went out and the picture bowed on all sides, much worse than before.
I've tried an auto focus and also manual convergence, but these did nothing.
My thoughts are that one of the new STK IC's is defective. I remember reading somewhere that new electronic parts, if they are bad, will generally fail within the first 20 hours or so of use. Obviously, I will check all of the pico fuses on both boards again (always check the simple stuff first, right?!) but I am wondering if you concur with my diagnosis and if there is a way to test the STK IC's to determine if one, or both of the newly installed IC's are bad. Obviously, if they are both bad, I'll replace both, ut if only one if bad, I'd prefer to only replace one.
Also, can you please let me know the parts site you've recommended in the past so I can re-order from them again?
I'd REALLY appreciate an email response. My email address is tpbachurATverizonDOTnet.
Thank you for all of your help on this problem!

Hi...
I've got a Sony LCD Rear Projection TV and every once in a while the picture and audio will go completely black while the green standby light blinks 30 - 40 times. Sometimes less ... sometimes more. It's very random...I can go 45 minutes before this happens and other times it happens every 2 minutes.
Does anyone have any suggestions. I haven't seen this problem talked about on the blogs...
Thanks in advance
Geoff

I have a K34HS510 with 'D' board problems (apparently). It is chassis DA4, build date of 12/2003. The D board was replaced under warranty (just). 3-4 years later the D board is gone again. I just got a flat screen to replace it, but kept the unit hoping to fix it. This thing has a KILLER sound system that it seems a SHAME to waste, but the BehemotH size/weight makes it hard to deal with.
Larry seems to be the GURU, so here goes-
plug it in, the SB light blinks 7 times rather slowly, during which it clicks some relay and blinks the memory slot light once, then begins a repeat of 6 blinks, faster blinks than the first 7, but 6 each time.
This seems to be the same or similar symptom from the first time (when the D board was warranty replaced). Sony and the local shop have been reluctant to give me any relief, as it appears is common from reading the threads.
A good friend is a longtime (20+ years with TV station) technician, but has a bad back, so I've not asked him to work on this monster. However, I think I can pull the board and get him to do chip replacement, if that's in order.
Where is the best place to obtain the ICs, and is the MCZ3001DB the latest and greatest? We'll probably do the 'socket' trick, just for the future.

Hello Larry, my KDS-60A2000 is now going out while it's on. The red light blinks four (4) time. I'm going to remove the lamp, blow it out and as always it will start up again but who knows for how long before this happens again.
Please help!
