I have a SONY KDL40V2500. It has gone in standby mode and the red light is blinking 4 times.
My online research suggests that the back light inverter needs to be replaced. If this is correct, then how difficult or easy is it to do this. Can I do it myself. Any recommendation
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.

My Sony Bravia set blinks 13 times and then a pause and then 13 times. How unlucky does this mean I am?

I have a Sony kdp-65ws550. The red timer/stand-by light flashes 10 times. I have audio only, no video. According to the service manual, it states:
- Q8014 or Q8013 have shorted replace along with R8051 on D Board
- IC8005 is damaged (D Board)
However in another thread and this thread, Larry Dillion and ARINC429 stated that the problem (a common one) is IC 8002, IC Part No. MCZ3001DB in D BOARD. I am confused. Replacing IC8005 worked for ARINC429. Which part should I replace???
I apologize to Larry and ARINC in advance if I mis-identified and mis-quoted you. Thanks.

I have a 50' Sony Wega, the model number off the front is KDF-50E2000. It turns off after 2 mins or some times it takes hours. No audio or video. The power light turns from green to red and blinks 3 times then pause then 3 times and keeps repeating the cycle. What do u think seems to be the problem?

Mr. Larry Dillon. On four different occassions I had posted a request to clarify your answer in regards to the parts to check for a three blink error code for a KV- 36XBR800. The parts you said to check did not match the parts in the service manual except 1, the 6505 ic.
I am wondering why you never answered my 4 requests? Were you not able to find the correct p/n's?

Larry,
I have a Sony KD-34XBR970. I was watching it, and the screen just faded out and the standby light blinked 5-times over and over. I turned it off and now the standby light blinks 3-times and goes out. According to the article here this seems to indicate a power supply problem. I had an extended warranty on it, but the warranty company says the repair will be $450 (more than the set is worth they say). Seems a bit high to me. If I got a new power supply, what are the chances something else is wrong (i.e. original 5-blinks)?
BTW, the 3-blinks are typical of startup when the set was working. It would blink 3-times, the high-voltage would turn on, and the light would stop blinking and everything would be normal.

it could be a poor solder connection in the horizontal drive circuit or the power supply circuit.

I have a Sony rear projection TV Model KP-fx432M91. The trouble at first is 10 blinking codes, and i had read here to what parts has to be replaced, its the IC MCZ3001DB at the High Voltage supply board. The TV gets ok only for 2 days and the trouble is in there again. What do you think is the next step to be done? I need help for this matter.
