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.

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. 

Hey Oranom,

Thanks for the advise and great instructions.  it looks complex, therefore i will have to hire pro help.  Someone came, took a look and said the transformer, which would cost £250GBP.  i can get a new samsung for £500, 40".  all this 18 pin socket is confussing.  got any pics.  How much do you think a pro should charge?? and how long a job??

 thanking u in advance

I am in Dubai, I asked the location because I have one spare IC. It is my firm belive this IC is also bad in your case, even any Sony dealership/service centre knows about that as it is known issue to them. pls get this IC and ask some electrician to soler it. Photo will not help much for location.Once u remove the D board,which is on yr left looking from back of TV.

I have a series of blinking codes appearing on my Sony Triniron screen. The picture is still working in the background and the sound is not effected, it still funtions normally. One of the codes reads: 00898288 (EFE8), another is: 00893328 (EEEE) Any idea what these codes mean?

Thanks,

They blink continually every three seconds in a black rectangular box that covers the bottom half of the TV screen.

I'm also having the problem where the power light is blinking red 6 times. I understand from an earlier thread that it may be a bad lamp driver board or a bad lamp. Is this something that a tech would have to come out and check to confirm. If so, any recommmendations on where to contact one?
I have a kdf-55xs955 tv.
Thanks

I have a sony kp-57ws500....the tv will turn itself off then the red light will flash 8 times. From what I can figure out it is a problem with the d-board...i want to know if it is something we can fix or if it needs to be shipped out or taken somewhere.

I have a Sony KV40XBR800. The TV does not switch on. When I try to turn it on, the TV just makes a sound as though it is turning on but then suddenly it just switches off. The error message is 7 blinks. Sometimes the TV will turn on after 2 to 3 days of trying. Is this problem worth repairing? What would be the estimated cost? Thanks for your help.

HELLO GUYS I HAVE A SONY KV32TS36 THE HIGH VOLTAGE GOES UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY LIKE PULSATING UP AND DOWN AS LONG AS THE TV IS PLUGGED IN ANY IDEAS WOULD BE

I have a sony kp-46wt510 with eight blinking lights...i guess i am suppose to

Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code. Check IC406 audio amp, PS401, and 402. On some projection models of Sony TV sets, this code means that T8005 (flyback transformer), or the associative components in the high voltage circuits are defective on the D board.

does anyone have any idea how i do this?
