I TRY TO TURN ON THE TV. i GET A FLASHING GREEN,

This symptom seems unusal as there is, what I assume to be, a self check system that monitors conditions and progress of the start up cycle. If there is an abnormal condition recognized during start up, after a short amount of time there should be a malfunction indicated by the LEDs on the front of the set.

Perhaps the self check system is not able to function. If you haven't tried yet, unplug the TV for a few minutes and try it again to see if a reboot of the controls will help. Other than contacting Sony customer service or a local authorized service company, this is the extent of my knowledge about what to try.

There is a error code check that can be displayed, but only if the lamp will come on. To display the error codes, start with the TV off. Using the remote, in sequence press: DISPLAY, 5, VOLUME - (down), POWER. Codes will then be displayed on the screen when the display comes on. To clear the displayed malfunctions, press 8, then press ENTER. To exit the error check mode, turn the TV off by pressing POWER.
