    Sony 46Z4500 Shutting Off 6 Blinks

    I've got a 46Z4500 with a 6 blink issue. The set comes on, at first it would stay on for around 30 seconds but now after about 5 seconds the set switches off to standby mode.

    According to the service manual 6 flashes indicates 'Panel Det Error' - Backlight error.

    Using this video as a guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE6K4xBVweA

    I measured the test points on the inverter board and wasn't able to get any result, measuring AC Volts I get no more than a volt usually around 0.3v but since there are so many and the set is only on for a short amount of time there is a chance I could have misread one but I will test again later.

    I get 12v DC on the other side of the diode that the test points lead to, that means one of the transformers or tubes are bad right? I have another TV which uses this same board I believe (A Sony 46XBR) but it will take allot of effort to remove it.

    I also checked all voltages from the main connector and they are all fine. I also measured the voltage coming into the inverter board from the PFC Board and it was about 450v AC, is that too high? I previously had a power supply problem where I swapped a pair of K3561 Field Effect Transisters for a pair of K3563's from a faulty power board. Could these transisters be sending too much power to the PFC Transformer? The voltage coming from the power board at the PFC Out pin shows 388v DC. I also measured the voltage from one of the transformers on the Inverter board and it was about 230v AC, again that seems like too much I've measured sets before with only 175v AC

    Update: After remove the inverter board to test it some more. I put it back in and the TV stayed on. It's been about an hour and the TV is still working, perhaps the connection between the board the inverter tubes was bad?

      Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
      by Tynan Dill
      I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

      Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

      I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

      The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

      With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

      Assuming...

      HP Pavilion 15-eh Board DAG7HAMB8F0 - CPU throttling to 0.4GHz (PROCHOT_EXT) and black screen
      by m1ch43lzm
      Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
      Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

      Sony KDL-40Z4500 LCD with stripes and 9 blinks (possible BGC board or harness problem
      by huj3r
      Hi there!

      I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40Z4500 which shows a colored vertical stripes pattern when turning on, with a central black shadow that slowly dissipates within the first 10 seconds.

      Photo of the situation after the black shadow dissipates:

      After this behavior the red LED will blink 9 times, then pause for a bit, and blink again 9 times, in a loop.

      I checked the manual (available here) and this corresponds to "HFR error", quoting from the manual:

      > This indicates HFR Communication error. [ HFR Communication...

      Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
      by jb_Bak
      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
      Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
      CN6401
      Pin 01 NC
      Pin 02 NC
      Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
      Pin 04 "N/C"
      Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
      Pin 06 "GND": N/C
      Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

      TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
      by howardc64
      All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
      • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
      • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault
