Re: tv kdl-55ex620 red light blink 8 times Do a Power Reset. 1. While the TV is off, unplug the power cord of the TV from the electrical outlet. 2. Let the TV remain without power for 60 seconds. 3. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. (If the television is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, remove it from the power strip or surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet. If the issue is resolved, the problem is with the power strip or surge protector and not the television.) 4. Turn on the TV. 5. When the TV powers on and a picture is displayed, reset the TV to factory default settings.

• If the Reset message does not appear and the TV turns off and on, begin again from step 5.

• If the standby light begins blinking eight times, return to step 1.

6. After the Reset message appears, allow the TV to reset. Do not press any buttons on the remote control or on the TV and do not make any other adjustments for 1 minute. 7. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. 8. Allow the TV to remain without power for 10 seconds. 9. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. 10. Turn on the TV.

• The initial setup screen displays if the above procedures were performed correctly.

11. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the initial set up. 12. Perform a system software (firmware) update.

I hope this will help you.

You may have bad power and your TV may be reacting to voltage drops or spikes. Is your TV powered through any kind of conditioner, surge supressor or filter? If not, you should consider getting one even if its only a $100 item. Stay away from standard or computer power strips though. Make sure it is not overheating and you have plenty of cooling space around the TV both to the sides and back, if it starts to overheat it will shut down. Or it could be a panel or internal board error. You'll need to get Sony tech to diagnose the problem. Are you getting any blinking lights when it shuts down? these are a code for the techs to let them know what to start looking at .

is the lamp light flashing? if yes, lamp needs replacement. you can buy lamp from www.sony.com/dapc

if lamp light if not flashing, turn off tv for 5 mins. then unplug for 1 min. if the same. tv needs service. check www.eservice.sony.com

This kind of problem occurs when lamp becomes weak that means near to end of working life hours but still not dead nor broken.
Replacement of lamp in tv will solve your problem, lamp replacement procedure is easy and would be written in user manual.
Thanks.

You may need to replace Lamp again if you watch TV alot Lamps only Last between 5,000 to 8,000 playing Hours ,so for every hr you plat TV Lamp dies.
