The power LED is blinking red 4 times on my sony 60XBR2 TV. I've read that this indicates that the right fan in the rear is clogged with dust and can easily be fixed by clearing the area around the fan with a long, thin screwdriver.. Is this true, and, if so, where is that fan located?
Re: The power LED is blinking red 4 times on my sony...
4 times blink is a fan error. I suggest to use a vacuum is better than using a Long screw driver when cleaning those fans. Screw driver can damage the fan..

Hi, 4 times blinking light indicates problem with exhaust fan in KDS-R50XBR1 and possible causes are as follows: -Fan 1-4 power is not supplied. (ASU board) -Fan connector is not attached securely. -Fan caught wires or harnesses. Please check exhaust fan in tv, it is located at lower right of tv looking at rear of tv. Thanks.
Hi, Red led blinks 4 times is an error code that shows that fan is not running in tv, check fans connections and make sure all are plugged properly. Thanks.
If it restarts itself, then it most likely is the lamp needing replacement. If it just shuts down and the power indicator blinks 4 times, the fan motor could be bad or the air filter clogged with dust. If the red LED blinks 10 times, it's the power supply that's defective.
I believe 4 blinks is fan error. You can take back off and watch fans in particular the fan for the lamp (this one goes out the most) The TV has a sensor so it knows if the fan turns.You can take a pencil and use it to spin fan sometimes that will jump start it (not a permanent fix just a test). You can try cleaning dust off fan and replugging the connector on the wires coming from fan.Might fix it if not fan will need replacement.
3 times means Lamp and 6 means you have lost a voltage. You may have a thermal fuse blown. This set has a common trouble with overheating caused by the drum fan located on top of the lamp housing clogged up with dust. When the lamp is getting old it runs hotter and that combined with the fan being clogged the thermal fuse blows. You must replace the lamp and thermal fuse. You must also clean out or replace the lamp fan. This drum type fan should be cleaned out every year or two depending on the environment.
it is a bad fan. it also could be a power supply. Quite often the real problem is dirt clogging up the fan(s) to the
point that they need to be replaced. Operation of the set in a dirty
environment is not a good idea
I had the same problem. Red LED blinking 4 times. This error means that one of the fans is NOT spinning! To check.... unplug the tv.... turn the TV around to a well lighted area so that you can see the fans in the back... plug the TV in and turn it on. Watch for the fans in the back... and see if they are spinning. If not... that is the reason why the TV will not turn on! In my case, the fan next to the lamp was stuck for some reason. I removed the the cover of the TV from the back... and cleaned the fan, made sure all connectors to it were properly connected... and viola! The TV is perfect again! Enjoy!
