No power My set will not power on. I unplugged it and when I plug it back on the power LED begins blinking but I get no picture or sound. At that point I can't even power it off. Any thoughts??

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Hi, Do you have a make and model number for this TV?

Need to know how many times the led is blinking.

Re: tv kdl-55ex620 red light blink 8 times Do a Power Reset. 1. While the TV is off, unplug the power cord of the TV from the electrical outlet. 2. Let the TV remain without power for 60 seconds. 3. 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.) 4. Turn on the TV. 5. When the TV powers on and a picture is displayed, reset the TV to factory default settings.

• If the Reset message does not appear and the TV turns off and on, begin again from step 5.

• If the standby light begins blinking eight times, return to step 1.

6. After the Reset message appears, allow the TV to reset. Do not press any buttons on the remote control or on the TV and do not make any other adjustments for 1 minute. 7. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. 8. Allow the TV to remain without power for 10 seconds. 9. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. 10. Turn on the TV.

• The initial setup screen displays if the above procedures were performed correctly.

11. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the initial set up. 12. Perform a system software (firmware) update.

sounds like the horizontal deflection circuit is not running. this circuit powers the rest of the set. this will require advanced troubleshooting

The following steps should be able to correct the problem:
1) Unplug the TV or remove AC power from the TV
2) Count to ten and then plug in the TV
3) Locate the [Menu], [VOL-] and [Power] button on the TV’s side panel
4) Using the buttons on the TV’s Side Panel, press and hold both the [Menu] and [VOL-] buttons.
5) While holding those buttons, press and release the [Power] button one time and count to 3 before releasing the [Menu] and [VOL-] buttons.
6) The TV’s lower left Blue Power LED will come ON.
7) Wait 30 seconds. Confirm that the blue LED on the Lower Left of the TV (not the iPod dock for iPod models) has remained ON during this time.
8) Press the [Mute] button on the TV remote twice
9) Unplug the TV or remove AC power
10) Count to ten and plug the TV in
11) The TV power should automatically come ON and the blue power LED with be ON
12) Wait 40 seconds and the TV picture should appear
13) You can now continue using your TV.
14) If the picture does not appear, power on the TV manually:
· If the LED begins flashing, unplug and power ON a second time.
· If the LED begins flashing again, power ON the TV without unplugging
If the LED begins flashing again, contact us directly by phone to obtain a local authorized service center for you.
If the TV does power on, please reply back with the software version number for us to research this issue. Please follow these steps to obtain the software version number:

1) Press the [Menu] button on the remote control.
2) Using the arrow keys in the center of the remote, scroll over to the "settings" menu and select the [OK] button on the remote
3) Scroll down to "system info" and select [OK] button on the remote

Thats the great sound of Exploding capacitors on either the power supply board. or another one in there. Now the set is in fault protection. It tried to warn you with the RED blinking LED that there was something amiss by shutting itself down. When you unplugged you reset the error and allowed it to do it again.

Best Regards and Smper Fi

I checked Toshiba's website and found the manual for the set. The self restarting was indicitive of a lamp failure. The red light was solid while the green light blinked. It would then restart 8 times before both lights would then begin blinking.

This what to do measure from the logic board which is located under the small signal board and have the AV jacks connected to it. If the voltage is 3.1 or close the problem is with the power supply or a board connected to the power supply. Unplug the set. Disconnect the Y main board first that will be on the left side of the set facing the back. Plug the set back in if the led is solid replace the Y main and the Y upper lower. If still blinking plug the Y main back in and unplug the X main which is on the right side facing the back. If the led is green replace the X main. If the led is still blinking replace the power supply.
But if the volts are 0 the problem is the SSB or the logic board. In that case take the (SSB) small signal board out the set and place 1 jumper on J8003 and another jumper J8004 of the left side of the power supply. Then place 1 jumper on CN2072 of the lower left part of the logic board. Plug the set back in if the set displays a white, blue et c screen replace the SSB. If not and on the logic board you don't have 1 solid blue led and 1 blinking led data is not flowing and change the logic board.

If your set all of a sudden won't come on, e.g., the screen is blank, but the LED on the under the screen next to the on/off switch keeps flashing, then there may be an internal fault on the set that needs to be reset.
To force the reset, try this:

• Unplug the set and wait a few seconds
• Replug and see if the video returns

Whenever the set senses an internal fault through its monitoring circuitry, it essentially shuts down the set. The flashing LED provides the indication that a fault has been detected. Removing power to the set resets the monitoring circuitry. When plugged back in, the circuitry again does a check of the system. If it finds that there truly is a problem, then the set is shut down and the LED will again flash. In this case, you need to call a service tech. Most of the time, however, the unplug/replug routine is enough to get the set up and running.
