There can be several causes for this, few of which you can do anything about. However, a few things to try:

1) Replace the batteries on your remote control.
2) Try resetting the logic functions on your tv by unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in.
3) Try covering up the infra-red receptor on the front of your TV to see if you're getting unwanted signals from the receptor. taping a piece of foil over that area is perfect. If it doesn't stop after doing these two things you'll probably need to take it to a shop.
4) If this does stop it, then look for unexpected signal sources. Have you added a remote control extender? Added a new device to your audio-video system? Changed to a new remote?

I hope this helps. Joe

Sony Projection Televisions - HOW TO FIX TV Red Blinking light of times between 3-second intervals and turn off

I have a Sony Bravia. Smart Television that would not turn on once in standby mode. The Red light would blink twice. I unplugged the television and reconnected it using a surge protector power supply strip. This solved my issue. From now on I'll be sure to turn the television off instead of allowing it to turn itself off.

I have a six year old Samsung HLP4663 unit that when I initially turn it on it will turn itself off within 5-60 seconds after being turned on. I will need to turn it on 5-10x before it will decide to stay...

Hello,

It is very certain that the lamp is having a leakage that is why it takes time to get it to come on.

Replacing the lamp is the solution to the problem, replacing the lamp is quite simple, but you have to be cautious in order to avoid shock and other kind of damages in the unit.

To replace the lamp, you need to unplug the television for about an hour or 2, so the high voltage in it will dissipate, then you get the appropriate screwdriver to unscrew the screws that are around the television, then you will see the lamp, it looks like a kind of bulb. Some of them have their lamp in front by the lower side of the control panel of the television.

So when you get a replacement lamp, all you have to do is to remove the old lamp and place the new one in it. then reassemble the television back together and it will be in good condition once again.

Take note, that you should be able to spend on any of your accessories irrespective of the amount of years it might have lasted. That will only show you care for your accessories. It is better fixing a old one that has worked perfectly fine for years that to get a new one that is still likely to develop faults anytime.

Take care and good luck
