    Are there any blinking power lights or lamp lights, anything? I had worked on a couple of sets now where the problem was simply that the door to the lamp was not closed properly. Check this and make sure that it is exactly how it came apart. There is a micro-switch that will keep the set from coming on if the door doesnt close the switch.

        Without ANY lights, check the power supply. The same as any LCD TV you
        have to have standby before anything else will work. There are no major issues with the power supply. The power supply is the horizontal board behind the ASU/DSU stand up pair that you see when you take the back off.

        First thing I would do is take that lamp back out before I try to turn it on again. See if you get lights then. A "buzz" might be a loaded power line feedback.

            Service manual is here.

            6 red blinks seems to be the thermal fuse under the lamp.

              Lamp driver or Q box, times-No "DD 6V " output (G1 board).

              Interesting that this TV was working and that these problems happened concurrently to a lamp change.

                    Re: sony kdf- 55wf655

                    ok so i did some research and it looks like they polarizing lens for the blue gets degraded over time due to heat. so i took mine apart and sure enough it looks foggy and discolored. . now im thinking of replacing the lens its self but i have a few questions.

                    1. do you think this will fix the issue
                    2.how hard is it to adjust the lens ( took out the others to make sure they wernt messed up as well and might have knocked off the adjustment.)

                      polarizer is not the problem. It's the LCD itself. They can be changed but need alignment after doing so. This can take quite some time and is largely experimental moving of the LCD in small increments while watching the picture.

                      Is this a TV you came bu or have you owned it since it was new?

                            Have your friend contact Sony. They will replace it for him. He must have the original receipt.

                                TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
                                by repair-it
                                I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

                                Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

                                Sony XBR-75X950G seems dead with a black screen but backlight and sound is working and no blinking red lights
                                by Audeze
                                I have a 2019 75" x950g, and while playing a movie, the screen suddenly went dark in a weird way, where it faded towards one corner into being fully black. Now the TV turns on, and the backlight comes on, but there is nothing displayed except black. Sound still comes through the TV speakers, and i have tried doing a hard reset using the volume - and power buttons while plugging the display back in, but it did not fix it. I can confirm that pressing buttons on my remote is still doing "something" because I'm hearing sound still, even though the screen is black.

                                Hi,

                                I have a LUMIMAN Smart Bulb that suddenly stopped lighting one day. The bulb is still detected in the app, but won't light. I've probed around and nothing seems to look off with any of the diodes, caps or resistors. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module seems to be working as it's still detected in the app. I even tried deleting and re-pairing the bulb (it didn't light, but I was still able to follow the pairing instructions), it re-paired fine, but still no light.

                                In diode mode, the LEDs all light up when probed so I'm guessing this means the LEDs themselves are OK. I was expecting...

                                6 Red Blinking lights (left side darker) on Sony KD-49XE8396
                                by Watson306
                                Hi,

                                I've got a Sony KD-49XE8396 TV that will switch on show the Sony logo then the Android logo and then switches off, and then blinks red 6 times.

                                I've read that this is the backlight, and during it showing the initial logos I can see that the left side is definitely darker.

                                I've also read that you can bypass the error to get it working but I'd prefer to fix it if at all possible. Any help would be appreciated.

                                Many Thanks in advance.
