    Sony HCD-NE5 (CMT-NE5) repair, standby LED blinking, just this

    This Sony HCD-NE5 (CMT-NE5) compact HiFi doesn't do anything else when pluging power cord: Standby LED blinks about every second (half second on, half second off). Doesn't respond to any button. Doesn't even try to switch the power relay that has to switch main transformer.

    11V standby present, 3.4V go to the IC801 (CPU or system controller), but it doesn't try to turn the relay by outputting 3V at POWER-ON line (IC801 pin 85): 0.0V. Actually, this line has a 50Ω resistance to GND, I think it's too low. I can unsolder a jumper wire near CPU and check that this low resistance is due to the CPU and not to other surrounding component.

    No short tactswitches. 3.4V at one pin of every tactswitch.

    I open POWER-ON line from CPU and put 3.4V from another point: the relay clicks and voltages appear, but nothing else happens. I think the CPU is bad, won't waste more time with this one. I just write this for archival purposes and to be found by others with same problem.

    Don't tell me that it is in audio protection mode. At this phase, the CPU has no way to sense the audio circuit as no voltages are generated, aside of standby voltatge.

    if the cpu was dead it wouldnt flash the led.

    you may still have a power issue.

      I don't mean the CPU is dead, just malfunctioning. It's not a matter of all-or-nothing.

      At this stage, only standby power is relevant, and it's OK. If CPU doesn't even try to activate the relay (RY901), how can it be a power issue? What can disturb CPU from activating this relay?

      I've attached SM in someone wants to analyze the problem.

        One thing to check is the ac det circuit, do you have voltage at the input and output of IC803

          I previously checked Reset signal (11), and there’s 3.4V. There’s 3.2V at one side of IC803 and 3.4V at the other (pinout is wrong in schematic). 3.4V at I_POWER_DOWN (23).

            reset signal is usually a short low pulse when you turn the power on.

              It’s amazing. I’ve left this set sitting for two weeks, unrepaired. Now I try it again and it works fine. I’ve tried several times in cold state, always works. Before, it didn’t work not a single time, was a constant failure to me.

                Temperature changes "moving" FFCs or other connectors, eventually establishing good contact?

                clean/reseat any FFCs between boards

                use "nutrol" or "2-26" on the fingers, then plug em back in

                  Sony Bravia 55HX820 - 4 times blinking red standby led
                  by androripara
                  Hello everyone,
                  i am trying to repair a Sony KDL-55HX820 led TV which is throwing error code 4 (standby led flashing four times).

                  I followed the troubleshooting flowchart at page 69, and between pin1 and pin7 of CN6002 i am reading 1.91V so i guess i can rule out the B Board as the culprit.
                  Before ordering new G* Boards (by the way, should i change both? it is not specified in the manual) i wanted to try and do more advanced troubleshooting since i've read in other threads people resolving their problems on the 46/55 HX 820/823/825 models by replacing the Samsung led...

                  Denon AVR-X4000 – Fast red blinking after 2nd relay
                  by SevenOFF
                  Hi everyone,

                  I’m working on a Denon AVR-X4000 that goes into protection mode (fast red blinking LED) shortly after the second relay click.

                  According to the service manual, a fast red blinking LED indicates a DC detection (DC_DET) or ASO (abnormal current) fault, meaning the unit is detecting a potentially dangerous condition on the power amp or power supply side.

                  Here’s what I’ve done so far:
                  • Fully opened and cleaned the unit (a lot of dust inside)
                  • Removed and visually inspected the AMP board → nothing visibly damaged or burned
                  • Testing is done with
                  ...

                  by shahnld
                  Good Day.

                  I just replaced tcon on my sony kdl 65xg9505 and getting green amber leds blinking. all voltages are ok according to working sequence.

                  i downloaded firmware from sony and there is no .pkg fike.. after extracting it gives another file which contains multiple files like inf, payload.bin and 3, 4 other files. i just did that usb but did not worked. anyone knows anything how to do it..?

                  green amber blinking stops after while and then starts again. tv responds to remote control on off etc. before installing new tcon backlite was coming on without backlite...

                  Sony KDL-55HX850 - Blinking 3x
                  by CSM123
                  Have KDL-55HX850 that seems to have been hit by power surge.

                  Blinking red 3x - clicks on/off on the power supply board when power is held in.
                  Replaced Power Supply G board - same response.
                  Replaced main BAP - no response at all. Seems worse, maybe bad board.
                  Replaced main BAP with a 2nd board - back to blinking 3x similar to original.

                  Checked speaker impedances ok 8ohms each.

                  Where are JL6002, JL6005 test points?

                  Ideas for what next to troubleshoot?

                  Could it be T-Conn or LED board? Seems that the troubleshooting...
