My Sony Trinitron, FD Trinitron Vega Chassis #DA4, Serial #KV32HS510 worked great yesterday, beautiful picture, is not turning on today. For a few days I had to try the power button 2 or 3 times, but it did come on. Now I get 6 blinks. If I do take it to a repair shop, what are the chances of them fixing it? I do have a friend who may be able to check it out too. What are my chances? The TV is no more that 4 or 5 years old.
Thanks!

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.

Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do when it doesn't turn on and when the standby light doesn't blink at all?

I have a Sony KDF-42WE655 that is producing blinking code 5. I follow the thread for reading the detailed error codes and putting it in service mode but I don't get the result i think is expected. When I use Display, 5, - volume, On button for screen test or Display, 5, + volume, On button to put it in service mode I still get no display. Is there another way to interrogate the error conditions with error code 5 when the display still does not work? What would you suggest is a best next step?
Thanks

Hi, My Sony Wega KV-HX32 started blinking red 10 times after my son & wife pressed the power on button at the same time 2 different remotes.
I get sound and no picture for 5 seconds before it powers off. Since it has no screen, I can't get into diag mode. This TV weighs 75kg so I won't be taking it to a shop. Do they cost heaps to fix. Been a good tv, only about 4-5 years old. I expect a better life for such an expensive TV.

Reply for 10 Blinks, HV PORT
I have not seen the wiring diagram of your TV KV-HX32, But in my case It was IC8002, It is a driver/Oscillator Ic. Sony asked 300 dollars to fix my projection TV kp-fx432M91.I decided to fix it myself on throw away basis, could not get much help for 10 blinks from Net.However, this post gave me lot of hope and initative. Bought Service Manual from net then few parts and finally above mentioned IC fixed the problem. Pls look for IC Part No. MCZ3001DB in D board, You will find two IC of same part number but look for the IC driving Two FETs of High Voltage Power supply section.
In most wiring diagram of Sony TV High Voltage Power Supply section components starts with 80--. as Q8013, Q8014, R8051 and IC 8002 are the essential components for HV section and these must be checked/replaced.
These all components cost only 12 Dollars in Middle East and 30 Dollars in USA and Sony may ask u minimum 250 dollars to fix 10 blinking problem. Pls do one thing search Service manual of your TV on net and route the link to me.
Thanks Techlore.

Hi Rags,
I had same problem my TV. Replaced IC8002 on the 'D' board.
This is what we did:
1.Bought 2 x MCZ3001D from WES components in Ashfield Sydney Australia for $11.20 (each).
2.Friend had an 18 pin machine spun socket (not the crappy ones on EBAY).
3.Took back off TV
4.Put the 'D' board in service position
5.Noted which way IC8002 chip sat (Where position 1 is), also noted which 2 legs are not soldered.
6.Cut the black plastic that was covering this chip underneath (where D board screws into) as this is easier than removing the 'D' board.
7.De-soldered the IC8002 chip with a proper de-soldering iron. These are expensive though.
8.Soldered in the 18 pin socket.
9. Set the chip into the socket.
10.Tested TV, worked fine.
11. Put it all back together, plugged in Tivo, DVD etc etc etc and all bloody good stuff.
12. I now also have a spare MCZ3001D which is taped to the back of the TV for future replacement, which is now easier since its now in a socket.

smart thinking! Most of the time when I replace an IC on A printed circuit boaed I ussally install an socket as if the ICfails or needs replacement in the future it is hard on the delicate printed vcircuit landindinds as it is very easy to overheat them and then they will tear off very easy then you have a verydifficult time repairing the circuit board with hard wiring.
