Sony KP-53S65 standby light is blinking. Has smell of a burning component. I opened it up and can see a capacitor in the HV area smoking. Where can I get a schematic and parts? Thanks

possible problem is on the G board which is the power supply suspect D6301 leaky causing this
there are also other possabilitys the D board there could be convergence circuit failure of hv circuit failure will need some trouble shooting to localize area of repairs needed
the amount of blinks once you have started it up do help to lead to a area for trouble shooting

popping noise is a power supply problem.

Shop around for the Big Screen repair Tech. Shop.The problems u discribing,the tv have more than a dead projection bulb.Circuits boards have burn components,must be trouble shoot and replace first.Before even know the static of the projection bulb.

It is the capacitor. Look in other forum for part number. I had exact same problem. Was a $2.00 part.

IF you have the G BOARD part #A-1316-367-A it's:
1-162-133-00 CERAMIC 390PF 10% 2KV
IF you have the G BOARD part #A-1316-422-A it's:
1-161-754-00 CERAMIC 0.001MF 10% 2KV

C514 is a ceramic capacitor its ratings are 390PF 2KV @10% tolerance

how many blinks pause then blink?

Hi, The blinking lights is an indicator of an internal fault. On some Sony sets, 4 blinks indicate a problem where the video is muted due to a component fault. Since this involve opening the set and doing electronics diagnosis and possibly component/board replacement, you may be better off seeking the services of a qualified TV repair professional. Hope this be of assistance/idea. Post back should you need further information. Good luck and kind regards.

If the TV will not turn on and the red light blinks on the front of the set, it means that the microprocessor has detected a problem in the set and shut the set down. It then blinks the red light a certain number of times, and the number of blinks is the code for why the set has shut off. How many times does the red light blink before repeating?

Check out Ceramic Capacitor C514 by the horiz. output transistor (burned/shorted?) My question is how do you find the specs of the capacitor and where do you buy one?
