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.

My Sony Bravia KDL52W3000 is blinking 13 times with a pause in between.
It is less than two years old.

What is this going to cost? This is a common flaw and should be a recall!

No the TV will not turn on, and the standby light blinks. I think I was hit by lightning.

most likely the power supply board depends on the model number you have????

Sony KV-32FS13. Heard a pop, then several horizontal lines about 1/2 inch apart at the top of the screen. It blacked out, then shut off. Standby shows 4 blinks. When I turn it on, it sounds like it is coming up, but then powers down again.

This site indicates the problem to be: No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted. Check IC1509, Q1505.

What should I anticipate for repair costs or parts costs, as I would like to repair it myself if the costs aren't too significant.

most likely sounds like the vertical output IC502(TDA8172) also maybe the voltage feed resistor from the vertical output IC to the fly-back transformer. (R550/.47 ohm @ 1 watt these are the problem with this set most of the time!!!!

My Sony KF-60W610 would not turn on it takes a couple of tries did this for a week now will not turn on at all the red dot blimks six times can you help me?

August 25, 2009 12:18 AM

you need to check the solder connections on the horizontal driver transformer most of the time it is T501 for bad solder connections this is a common fault with a lot of Sony TV sets for intermittent start up

Sorry. the picture also seems a little faded the past couple of months before this problem happened, when the TV is back on is their something I can clean the (cannons, bulbs, replace blubs) to help picture quality. And can I put better blubs than the ones offered by Sony (is their such a thing). Thank you again The last post I was just giving more info about TV that I left out.

best thing to do is to clean the mirrors/lens every few years but every few months if there is a smoker in the home.
Good Luck

i have a kv-32fs12 that i am(was) using as a computer monitor.
i was adjusting the size of the edges in service mode (and eventually started playing, making the screen smaller)

i made the screen about half the size of the crt tube and then the next setting was interlace (options 1,2,3)
i moved the option to 3 and noticed the interlaced looked terrible and was going to put the option back down but the television shut off.

i thought 'no big deal.. i'll unplug the tv and plug it back in to reset any settings not saved to the rom'

well i unplugged and plugged the television back in and now the television refuses to turn on.

when the television is 'on' (no video) the red light is steady and the bulb goes out twice, repeating.
and when the television is 'off' the red light is steady off and blinks 4 times

a lot of places offering service menu support said that anything not saved into the rom will be reverted back to the prior settings by simply unplugging the tv and plugging it back in.

how come my television isnt doing that?

i tried to turn the television back on in service mode and doing an 8 + enter sequence to reset the service menu values (that didnt work).

is there anything i can do instead of taking this television back to my storage unit until i can afford to take it to a repair shop. (the money wont come along for 8-9 months)

I have a Sony KP-51HW40 and the set doesn't come on at all it blinks six times.
So that is telling me I have no H sweep I think.
Witch board do I look at.
If I can't repair at the board level is the board still available.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Its like 3d reply; yes and Ive tried the setup settings and not one is better than what was there originally. I think I now have to go into the setup screen to adjust. Am now looking for the procedure to do it. They say one wrong setting can destroy the bios.
