When i switch my tv on it has a habit of switching itself off. The red light will still be on and a little green light below it flashes. some days it does it somedays it doesnt. Some times it does it once or it can do it alot in a short amount of time. The timer isnt on so its nothing to do with that but why does it keep switching itself off?

The flshing light could mean the power supply does not work correct. Can't deliver all voltages. But I can't get a service manual, so I can't tell you for sure.

Hi there,

You may have to reset your printer, for when the green an red are flashing. Please do the following in order to reset the printer;
1-switch off printer itself
2-switch off at socket for 20 seconds
3-hold down both black buttons on front
switch on at mains
4-switch on printer itself
green and red flash together
5-now switch off at mains and leave for 3 seconds
6-while holding down both front buttons again, switch on at mains
both green and red flash together so release
7-quickly hold down the left botton, the one with the scroll icon above it.

Hold this until it resets itself, - the print head will re
charge and it will be obvious.

Restting by unpluggin rather than turning off at mains tends not to work.

This must help you as it worked for me.

your powersupply is dying in the set.. have it checked..

Power board is dead,must replaced the board.

Does the on/off light flash green and red or just green. Is the light to the left of the on/off light on (this means bulb has definately blown)

Probable problem is that your lamp has blown. This can replaced quite easily, but costs about £100. Search google for xl-2400, there is also a video on youtube showing how to replace bulb.

there seems to be a possibility that your ballast might defective.. i recommend you replace it. It might not have enough voltage to keep up with the new lamp

The unit is shutting itself down because a problem was detected internally. When this happens, the standby light should blink a repeated pattern. Please count the number of blinks and post the number here. That will indicate the circuit in which the problem occurred.

Thanks,

Had same problem on a 50inch wega tv. It needed lamp replaced,not hard to replace about $180.00
from Sony.

i have the same problem on mine, my tv is only just 12 months old, in the last 4 weeks it had 2 new blocks put in as the tv was blue, it costing £700 each (under guarante for 3 years thank god) then lastnight the tv made a big bang then switched it self off and the sand by botton is now flashing red then green, i have to leave it 30 mins before i switch it on again then only last 10 mins before it does the same thing again, got sony coming out again to day to fix it, had it with this tv now hate it !!!!!

You can try a hard reset: Unplug TV from AC mains and remove all cables from TV. Wait about 30 minutes and replug to AC power and redo the cabling. Switch on the TV and see if it works.. if this did not work then check with other power supply unit ....


Good luck..
