Understanding Sony Television Blinking Codes

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.

Hello,
I have a sony trinitron model KV-35S42.
It was working great then next morning no power. when I turn it on it has no power, the standby light doesn't come on.
Is this a fuse problem?
Any help would be great.

I have a Sony KDF-60XBR950 that blinks 3 times when we turn it on and goes into standby and won't come on. I contacted Sony and they said reset power, didn't help, then plug into a different outlet, didn't help, and then finally said it was the lamp cover wasn't on securely, but I've taken it off and put it back on and it's not working. Unless I'm wrong about what the cover is. Can anyone help?

Sony's are extremely tricky with their lamp doors, if you have a heat gun try taking out your lamp door and heating it up enough so its slightly pliable. Once done insert back into the tv, I caution you not to over heat it. This can cause warping but the issue a lot of times with lamp doors is that it's not a 100% seated properly, after you've heated up enough push in very FIRMLY. Hope this works for you, I have done this to about 5 to 6 tvs with 100% success

Thanks I'm going to try that now, will post what happens.

spoutnik, I have the same thing 3 blinks and when I looked up the code it says b+ something ovp over voltage problems and the t603 n r672 things u mentioned I could not find out what they were or anything about them for a long time and then (not confirmed) heard they were fuses but Sony told me first to try the unplugging and moving to another outlet n resetting power but finally said that it was my lamp cover not being secure. I took it out and then put it back and it didnt work but u can read the comment I got on here to take it out n trying getting it warm enough to make it slightly plyable and put it in tightly . I haven't done it yet but am about to. I will post what happens, but just thought I let u know since our problems seemed very similar.

Have a sony KP-51WS520. As of yesterday, I have no picture but sound when I turn the tv on. It stays on with audio for approx 15 seconds then shuts off. The standby light blinks 10 times without fail. I have tried a number of solutions including an attempt to reboot it using display, channel, 5, volume minus then power. Had same problem 2 months ago but addressed problem using the solution above. Now, to no avail. Thoughts anyone? Desperate not to miss NCAAs.

I have a Sony Rear Projection tv that does not turn on. Model # KP-51WS500
When I turn on the tv, it does not display any picture or audio, it simply turns itself off. But as I push the power button it does this code of blinking. 3 blinks slowly, 7 blinks rapidly, then theres a pause of atleast a few seconds, and it does a repeating pattern from time to time of just 6 blinks.

I purchased one of these Sony KP-51hw40 for about 3'. Nothing but trouble,,,how about a class action vs Sony? They all suck,,, everyone I know bought one got ripped off!

Purchased my Sony in 04, model # KV-32FS120, SR#4033708. The Stand by/Timer light flashes 5x's. After 4 days I hit the power button & the tv came on w/perfect reception. I turned off the tv 2-3 hrs later. The red light is flashing again & w/not turn on. This tv is very heavy so difficult to get to a shop. Wondering if it is worth the $ & effort to fix it? Also how do you discard if choose not to fix it. Thanks
