Sony KP-51WS500 51" Rear Projection Television Logo
Anonymous Posted on Oct 22, 2012

My sony KP-51WS500 needs reset. I hit a button on the remote and my picture went off. I started pushing buttons like an idiot trying to get the stations back and in the process it messed my picture up. I have tried everything. I can't get it ti set back to factory settings. Can someone please help?

    The usual problem is to accidentally hit the "source" button switching the TV to antenna when the signal comes for HDMI or any other source other than the one you were using. So first what was your source ?

It is possible that you messed up the convergance of the projector lamps on this TV. Try the convergance setup to see if this helps.

SOURCE: sony model kp-51ws500

You have all three projection tubes that are failing. This was a common issue for this year. Depending on serial number 2 of the 3 CRT's (green and blue) are no longer available. They will have to be pulled and rebuilt.

SOURCE: sony tv red flashes

LED flashes of 8 times are indicative of a "High Voltage Error" which means something along the lines of "T8005 is faulty. (D board)" according to the service manual. Most likely it will need a professional to look at it. A link to the service manual is here: http://www.somelifeblog.com/2007/06/sony-projection-tv-red-line-repair.html
