This is a protection error indication and might need attention by a qualified service technician.

The TV is on protect mode.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

Also ensure that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending bad signal, check if you get same problem with no receiver box or dvd connected.

If that does not work, and you keep having a flashing led on front of the TV, and tv turning off by itself after a while, that indicates a fault condition.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible reasons.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , startingthe flashing light.


If you are in situation one, then theTV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

Common faults that can occur are a blown capacitor on power board, a convergence IC has blown, or a fault on Digital board.

Check also the video cable or any external connection cable, if the cable is shorting, or the connector is bad, you can get same flashing state because of the video cable.


If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

Sony kdl52xbr9 it comes on i can see picture and sound for a couple of seconds, then it shuts off and blinks 6 times

Hi! and Welcome to Fixya!

Blinking red lights on the tv are error codes that explains hardware issues on the tv.

However, if after turning ON the tv and you will see the Sony logo on the screen before the picture goes off and then flashes red lights for a number of times, this could mean that tv can still be recovered. Try the option below to isolate possible issue with settings that cause your tv to shut off. Disconnect first all external devices from the tv

1. Turn ON tv first and wait until it flashes the red lights > press and hold down the UP Arrow button ( use remote control ) > while holding down the UP Arrow button, press the POWER button on the tv > tv turns off, wait until it turns on by itself > release the UP Arrow button when tv turns on

Note: reset is successful when you see a welcome screen on the tv and ask you to select your Language. This is the Initial Setup, just follow the on-screen instruction

If that solution did not resolve the issue then a service may be recquired.

Let me know if this helps!

Older-model Toshiba TV shuts off by itself

There is a large sand filled resistor on the main board close to where the power cord attaches that cracks. This will stop power until it cools enough to make the connection then heats up rapidly to open it again. It may be worth the trouble if you're handy with a soldering gun and can get the back off the TV. If not then I'd consider getting a flat screen.

When turning on tv. screen will display Bravia image & then go blank. red light flashes SIX times

Power off the television. Wait a few minutes, then power it back on. If this does not correct the issue leave the power on, point your remote control towards the Sony television and hold the down arrow button. While holding the down arrow button press the "Power" button. Release the down arrow button and the Sony TVicon1.png will reset itself to factory settings. Once the television performs a scan on itself your problem should be gone.
Good Luck Ed Pinero

Sound but no picture, can change channels, red flashing light on power supply board. Please help.

The problem is likely with the screen itself. The power supply usually supplies both screen and speakers and has a light flashing on it indicating that it has power. Screens are often not worth replacing unless under warranty as they can sometimes cost as much as new TV to replace.

My television screen went black, but there is has sound

Make sure your tv is on the right input first of all. The newer flat panel lcds combine the componenent video (red , blue, green) with the composite video and audio (yellow, red, white). If your tv is on the component input then you hear audio from the composite input since the audio inputs (red, white) are shared. Look for a source or tv input button on your remote or the tv itself and try pressing this button unti you see a picture with sound.

Flashing red center light

With most flat panel TVs, the TV turn itself OFF when it has a fail electronic part and the red light starts flashing. They call this "Protection Mode". The flashing red light should be a error trouble code.
But, it's weird that everything is working and the red light is flashing. Since you just recently bought the TV, I would get it check out while it's still under warranty. Better safe, than sorry.
