    New victim - Sony KDL-46EX723 with occassional inverter issue

    I picked this up for a bedroom TV, for the price I couldn't pass it up. TV generally works great, but the seller said that it periodically will not power up, giving 6 blinks (inverter error). I haven't seen it do this myself, but wanted to get ahead of things. The service manual workflow, I've found on other sets, isn't always efficient. It starts with replacing the main board, which I would hate to do right off the bat.

    What makes this tougher is the infrequency of the error. But in the meantime, are there any known things I should look for if I pop the case off it? Since it's LED, not CCFL, I wouldn't expect to see those common 680uf caps that tend to fail.

    Forgot about this post. Turns out that all it needed was a firmware update. Done deal, super-cheap TV

      thanks for the follow up, nothing worse than posters who never report results.
