Sony BRAVIA KDL-32S2000 32 in. LCD HDTV Logo

KDL 32S5500 TV When left on standby overnight locks-up, hangs.

KDL 32S5500 32 Inch LCD TV When TV is left on standby overnight, it will not switch on again, with either the remote or the on/off button on the TV. Switching power off then on again cures the problem until left overnight again on standby.

I have just sent back my old TV (bought 4 months ago) and got a replacement of the same make/model. The problem is present in the replacement too. Not good.

There is a Post on the Sony Support site which I hadn't previously found. Basically there is a software bug which has come about apparently due to Freeview transmission changes. In order to stop the the machine locking up disable the 'Automatic System Update' option. A Sony centre will apparently apply a software fix to properly resolve the issue, fine if with warranty period, maybe pricey if not. I will get the fix but haven't yet done so as the workaround of disabling the System Update option works.

Normal operation then switches off with no red standby light or green light then after 10 - 15 seconds switches back on again, also when on standby it switches to green but with no picture.

Fault to the main power supply regulator section. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts.

It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Red light flashing

How many times this standby/power light blinks at one time switch ON? Count it carefully. These blinks are fault indication, and known as blinking codes. From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON; you can get an idea about the faulty circuit stage inside the TV. This will make repair easy.
