Sony KDL-40P3600 3 blinks

[Hombre]

Ok, got this tv some time ago, the fault was 3 red blinks upon plugging it in. 3 blinks for this model means power supply problem. Tested voltages on PS and 12V wasn't there. Stdby was ok.
So started to test PS for shorts and found that 12V line that goes to mainboard was shorted. Well, not 0 ohm short but somewhere arround 260 ohms . Started isolating components on 12V line and found CXD9969 which had 260 ohms between GND and VCC pin.
Ordered it from UT source, came today, soldered it in and TV is on and working

So, no problem wit this set, just wanted to share this, maybe this info will help someone to fix their TV with same error.

Used manual for 40s5600 because i couldn't find any for this particular model, but it is the same chassis (sony_kdl32_37_40s5600_chassis_ex2n-peppermint)

Thanks, this was really helpful. I couldn't find the service manual for a KDL-32P3600 anywhere.
Eventually I ended here, this service manual was valid for this TV model also.
In my case, there fail was red led 4 blinking 4 times.
Solution was to replace blown mosfets and fuse on the inverter.
