Hi I own a Sony KDL-40X2000 LCD TV Recently I have been seeing the red standby light flash 6 times whenever I switch the tv on. It flashes 6 times, stops for 3 seconds then flashes another 6 times. The tv can still switch on but I read in the manual that this is a sign that something is at fault inside the tv. Can anyone tell me what is at fault inside the tv? Thankyou for your time. John

SOURCE: standby light flashes 3 times

A 3 flash pattern indicates that either the lamp is not seated correctly or that the lamp door is not latched properly. It can also be a fault with the switches that sense whether the lamp is seated or the door is latched. Try reseating the lamp and relatching the lamp door

I just worked on this last week 13 blinks means there is a problem with the backlights.So it can be 1 of 2 things bad inverter board( which costs less than $200) or the panel in which case you can thow the TV away as it will probably cost as much for a new TV.Unfortunately the set I worked on ended up being panel. If you try the inverter board just take your time removing it its plugged in rather tight I gently tapped it out with a screwdriver to get it started.

Hi,
KDL-26S2000 belongs to WAX2 chassis and 3 times standby light blinking shows following error:
DC_ALERT1 as it is shown in service manual.

Following voltage has some problem or missing towards trident chip on main board (trident chip is main processor)

(D3.3V/ D2.5V/ D1.8V)


I'm not sure about your expertise, so in simple terms, replace main board of tv to get it fixed.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

Hi.

If the red light stays on and TV does not start up, then the TV is in protect mode because an incorrect voltage has been detected.

If the TV instead comes on with the remote, but there is no picture, problem is usually the inverter or in some case the input.

If the TV comes on in stand by ONLY if you use the main switch on TV, then comes with no picture of sound using the remote, that means that the main board is not operating. This may happen because of a defective main board (A board), because of a defective PSU not powering the main board correctly, because of a short in a different board (often the inverter, the tuner or one of input boards).
Other part that may fail is the TCon board, which function is controlling the timing of the LCD panel. This board is difficult to test, but when it fails you usually get vertical lines, false colors or other video defects shortly before the TV shutting down.

If the problem happens only occasionally, check also the wall socket. Bad wall socket grounding will cause malfunction.Ensure that earth and grounding is OK. Test the TV with no devices connected, and using an extension and a different socket.

Most of the times the problem is a defective PSU or a defective main board. Parts must be tested by a technician to find the fault.

Here the first step of testing explained: How to test an LCD TV

To book a qualified technician contact your Sony local number:Customer Service Helpline.

Here parts.
