Question about Sony Grand WEGA KF60XBR800 60" Rear Projection Television
The unit powers on fo 30 seconds then it powers off and the standby indicator flashes continuously for 60 seconds then the unit powers itself on. If I don't turn off the unit it will continue to turn on and off in order described above. I checked and tightend the lamp compartment cover, unplugged unit overnight to reset it and continue to have the problem.
The same thing happened to me. A Sony tech told me the lamp needed replacing and sent one out. TV worked fine after replacing the lamp.

This same problem is posted at least two other times on this forum. Seems like most folks are recommending replacing the lamp.
The lamp is called "LTIP/A1601-753A" or sometimes just "XL-2000U". Googling those terms shows hits from a number of places including eBay. It looks like it will cost between $150-$200.
There are instructions for replacing the lamp here:

There is a short somewhere in the sweep Horizontal, or vertical, or the sweep power supply has a fault. not really a job for the consumer , unless you know about solid state electronics.

Hi,
The
Standby/Power light of the TV blinks when there is any internal malfunction in
the TV. The self-diagnostic function of the TV will cause the STANDBY light to
blink or flash when the television detects an issue. The number of times the
STANDBY light flashes corresponds to a specific issue.
Few
examples are given below; some of the issues may be resolved without the need
for service.
1 blink / 2 blinks / 5 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a
power-related problem with your set.
3 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a power-related problem with your
set. The set will need to be serviced to allow a technician to determine the
specific issue that needs to be repaired. If the power light flashes three
times in sequence in a Lamp TV, the lamp cover is not securely attached.
Reattach the lamp cover to resolve this issue.
4 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a back light or lamp power
problem.
6 blinks: - This indicates that there is some kind of audio problem with your
set.
7 blinks: - This indicates that there is a temperature problem with your set.
Please check to make sure that the air vents on the sides and back of the set
are not blocked or clogged and there is adequate ventilation around the
television. We recommend that you check and clean the vents periodically to
make sure the set receives adequate air flow. If the problem continues, the set
will need to be serviced.
8 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a video-related problem with your
set. If the flash sequence is not listed above or the light continues to flash,
follow the steps below to perform a power reset:
Try the following steps to check if the issue can be resolved.
Turn off the television.
Unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet.
Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.
If
the television is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, remove it from
the power strip or surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet.
If the issue is resolved, the problem is with the power strip or surge
protector and not the television.
If
the issue continues to occur, service may be required.

wega tv picture and sound goes off for 30 seconds then comes back on then repeats off on off on
Sony kf60xbr800 powers on and off for 30 seconds
I have the same issue. The symptom has these steps:
1. TV is on
2. TV will go into a standby mode, picture goes black
3. The red LED on the front will flash for about 30 seconds
4. The picture returns
At first this process repeated itself once every few hours. Now it is on for 30 seconds, off for 30 seconds.
I believe I need to replace the bulb, but I'm not sure how.
Mine did the same thing. I repalced the bulb and it works fine now.
Mine does the same thing but after turning it off the stand buy light flashes 5 times again and again its a code for the service guy does anyone know what that means?
I have the same problem. If anyone can find a solution please let me know what it may be through email [email protected] Thanks
