searching for a therminal defect on an active or passive electronic (smd) component
A canister coldspray can sometimes be helpfull when its come on when turns green spray and look if there is difference in time and a hair dryer for searching an therminal defect somewhere. resistor or active component.

Hi there,

If the tv is still under warranty, this can be repaired at no charge.

However, if not under warranty, you will need to have the CAPACITORS on the main power supply circuit board tested (or replaced).

The capacitors responsible for the power supply can sometimes fail - open the back panel. If the capacitors on the main power supply board look too fat, or signs of burning near the solder joints, then you've found the problem.

Hope this helps.


Cheers,

Scott

air systems have a built in timer on them. 20 mins.
they are supposed to be shut off for 20 mins to cool the blower down then can be turned on again.

this is an indication of a overcurrent/ overvoltage error....meaning short in a voltage supply. I have seen this problem in the shop with this set. IN MY CASE it was shorted convergence chips. but it could also be any of the low voltage supplies 5,10 15,-15 lines

The 2 blink error is a temperature error and the 6 blink error is a thermal fuse error. You may need to unplug the set and get you a can of canned air, take off the back lower cover and blow out all of the fans inside the set.

try turning the ignition on try to start then without shutting key off wait 10 mins then shut key off then back on but do not try starting leave on for ten mins then back off turn key back on to run but do not try starting it wait ten mins then if it reset it should crank over and start if not repeat all steps again

There are 2 primary things that can cause this problem - a bad TEMP sensor that is sensing too much heat, OR, a lamp that is going bad, which sometimes causes excessive heat before it dies. Either way, the set will shut itself off, and you can turn it back on in about 5 min or so, and it will work OK....for another period of time before it shuts off again.

You need a good TV Tech with the Sony Service Codes for your set, to come out & check your set. The Service Codes will tell him the exact problem you are having, and how many hours your set has been running. Most of the time a new bulb solves this problem, (if youe set is at least 3 years old).

Refer to owners manual will tell you what blinking light means. But at the front not at the back.

YOUR ON/OFF BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANNEL IS STUCK
SOME HOW (PRESSED IN ) TY SOME WD40 ON IT . SEE IF THAT WORKS.
