My pioneer 5020FD Kuro tv. when I plug power to the unit, a blue light blinks 8 times pause 2 sec. and blink 8 times repeating this and if i press power button it clicks red light and makes a clicking sound and goes back to the blue light blinking again, it did this once before and the picture came on fine until i turned it off and now it just blink the blue code.
It is rear projection TV that use 3 picture tubes of red-green-blue to show color picture on tv front screen. Do you see standby red light blinking when TV shuts off after showing blue image for a while? If red standby light is blinking, please count it how many times it blinks, there would be 3 seconds pause between blinks so count pause to pause and post it here to find out possible solution. Thanks.
I have seen this flashing before, this could be an indication that the picture tube is weak, what happens is that if the white balance is off there is a circuit called akb it monitors the kathode of each gun and if they are not in balance it will attempt to balance it out. if it can't the picture will begin to flash, sometimes in some models the power light will blink 5 times. On some models the power light will only flash if the tv gives up trying to compinsate for white balance and shuts off compeletely. If you see the tv shutting off with 5 blinks then you know for sure it is time for a new set.
I have a 61" JVC that just stoped working. I turn it on and nothing bu the blue light stays on and the red light blinks 8 times and then the blue light joins in.
I had the same problem. i was told by one of these so-called experts @ fixya that my flyback transformer needed to be replaced (the 8 blinks on the standby was the indicator). but i recently replaced it and im having the same problem. sorry. no advice. good luck.
did you clear the code by hitting display channel 5 volume up then power then press 8 enter or look at sony blinking codes to reset to factory settings
I hve worked on a number of these units , your description is typical of a shorted blue picture tube. The protection circuits in the tv
detect that there is a problem thus shutting the unit down to prevent further damage. Sony had a bad run of picture tubes in this series.
The replacement cost of the tube is about $250
plus labor. My estimate would be for the repair
about $400-500 depending on where you live and how honest your local technican is. I will caution you however, that you could replace this tube and the red or green could go. These would not be covered by the technicians warranty. When these sets are working, they have a superb picture and it is easy to get lured into fixing them. Scrivitron
