Sony kdf 55xs955

the kill switch is open ensure the lamp cover presses firmly on the kill switch when u close the lamp chamber door the red light will stop blinking and u can now turn the tv on

According to NEC technical support, if the status light flashes red six times, this could indicate a defective lamp. If a new lamp is installed and the project still won't turn on, the projector will need service.

Hi,
If red light was not blinking before lamp replacement and after that it start blinking 3 times then pause for three seconds and again blink, check lamp cover that has not been fixed on tv or it is not fixed/ seated correctly there.
Lamp cover is first thing that you removed from tv to replace lamp.
Hope these info will help. If red light is blinking other than 3 times, let me know how many times it is blinking along with tv model number written at rear to provide you helpful info.
Thanks.

Six blinks indicates a faulty power supply. often caused by open thermistor located at under lamp assembly or beside it. Or a defective regulator on power supply section.. Check the thermistor and replace if found defective.. Or contact the nearest Sony service center at your area.

The standby light blinks to indicate problems with the TV. Six blinks indicates an internal problem, I suspect with the lamp. I recommend contacting a Sony repair shop to vacuum out the TV and replace the lamp. Installing it yourself has no bulb warranty and you cannot vacuum it out without taking it apart. Lamps are $250+ each...

Yes that is the indicator telling you its time to replace the lamp in your unit.

Replace the bulb.

I get 5 blinking red lights for about a minute or so before it powers back down. The Sony TV has a specific light that i presume is supposed to light up when the bulb is out. I'm unsure if this is what it is.
no picture, no sound. tries to boot with green light blinking a few times. then goes to red blinking light, six in all, then waits a few moments, then another 6 blinking red light.
Bulb was already replaced several months ago but we do have the TV on for long periods of time.

My TV KDF-E60A20 is now Fixed. My tv was overheated and Thermal Fuse Located bottom of the lamp burned. I replaced a different Thermal fuse part from 191000644 to 191002393
