Sony KDL-52XBR4 13 blinks

[efan]

Got a Sony KDL-52XBR4 turns on for 3 seconds and turns off then red standby led blinks 13 times and pause and blinks 13 times pause.
Find out that means
[13] Blinks => DAC [Digital to Analogue converter] error. Main board should be troubleshooted.
Anybody had success on fixing this problem? many thanks.

Just follow up this TV.
It was back light problem.
One of the light bulb pin was bend, and was not fit in the socket well.

After repairing, going to the service mode. the error code shown as in the picture. "13" is the banancer problem. There is back light problem too.

"[13] Blinks => DAC [Digital to Analogue converter] error. Main board should be troubleshooted."
So the DAC error is not corect then. I sure like to know what to trust in the SONY service manual.
