    I check a couple of times, each time I power the tv both of the fans in the rear rotate as would be expected.  I see no indication of the lamp coming on.  We've had this issue in the past, unplugged and it would go away for a while.  How do I examine the lamp?

    I have the same problem. Turn the TV on and the green light starts flashing then goes solid green. Moments later, power/Standby light starts blinking red. 4 blinks pause, 4 blinks pause and so on

    Standby blinks red 5 times (after the power green light blinks).

    Are you certain that all the fans continue to run? This model has had issues with the exhaust fan. Its the large one that's visable through the rear vents of the TV. They can be intermittent. Does the lamp start to light or come on at all? Have you examined the lamp for physical defects?

If you are positive that the fan is still running and that it isn't an over heating issue, I would venture to say you need a new dlp lamp. Your model uses a Sony XL 5100 dlp lamp. You can grab one over at DLPLamps.com.

Sony kds-rx60xbr1 red light blinking turn it on and off and tv goes on

The lamp for this model number is XL-5100
Before ordering the lamp, I would inspect the inside of the TV, be certain that the three fans are clean and free from dust. Often if a fan does not start the first time it may start on a restart. Due to the nature of televisions operating, dust seems drawn to these TV's. Cleaning the fans might correct your issue.

Cooling fan for Sony KDS-50A2000 does not work How it can be replaced

Unhook the fan and see if the set works, it will work without the fan for testing purposes, chances are the fan is drawing to much current and is being shut down by the TV circuitry

  • Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen A2 slightly.

My SXRD 60" Sony LCD TV turns on. green light flashes about 6 times, then solid green. But just as screen starts to light up, turns off, solid green light turns red and blinks red four times, then stops. a...

Perhaps it needs the bulb, but there is also a good possibility that the lamp fan is getting clogged and shutting down the set. This is NOT the fan you see in the back, instead, it is above the lamp, and is a small blower-type fan, that tends to clog with dust. You CAN check this, when you open the lamp door,you can see the blower wheel, and if it is all dusty, it needs to be cleaned out--but do NOT just blow it out, or you might clog the engine!! It needs to be removed, and cleaned out of the set.

But first...if the blower is not too dirty...try another lamp.

Sony kds-r50xbr1 turns itself off and then green light blinks 52

I too have a Sony KDS-R60XBR1 tv and the issue that you are experiencing is due to one of your fans in the rear of the tv is not working.  The tv automatically shuts off in protective mode.  Make sure the POWER/STANDBY light is blinking and not the lamp light below it.  Is the power/standby blinking 4 times in red? If, yes then its a fan that needs to be replaced.  If its the lamp light blinking then you need to replace the lamp.  The lamp is easy to replace by ordering the lamp either from Sony for $250 or find it cheaper for approx. $150 from other DLP sources and replace youself by following your manual.  I hope this helps you.

KDS-R60XBR1 60" SXRD HDTV

I had the same problem if it is blinking 4 times like I think it is... it is a problem with one of the fans (there are 4) in your TV.. It is a simple fix... try using an air canister to clean them. It will require some disassembly though.
