Tv picture blinks on and off

The light is blinking a code. The code will be a series of blinks, a pause and the blinks again. Phone Sony service and give them this code. They will be able to advise you as to the problem.

from how long you have this problem? and what made it start?
do u remember the cause?

Replaing the lamp will fix this problem most of the time.If not count the blinks. This is an error code.

Hi, thats the code for AKB fault, this requires a tv tech to fix,, not a big bucks repair, video-tek

I would suggest going to the folowng link you can get the full service manual with full trouble shooting and parts section emailed to you for 10.99. your model is listed on page 2 of the sony section. They also provide free help to help you with diagnosis. I have used them countless times they have excellent sevice manuals. Here is the Link.

does the from led blink if so how mant times pause then blink again?

I get 5 blinking red lights for about a minute or so before it powers back down. The Sony TV has a specific light that i presume is supposed to light up when the bulb is out. I'm unsure if this is what it is.
no picture, no sound. tries to boot with green light blinking a few times. then goes to red blinking light, six in all, then waits a few moments, then another 6 blinking red light.
Bulb was already replaced several months ago but we do have the TV on for long periods of time.

how many times does it blink pause then blink again?
