    Sony KDL-40XBR9 green led no video or audio

    I picked up this TV from CL. The TV had been opened, and I was told the Sony Techs diagnosed it as needing a main board which they couldn't find. I got it home, when I first powered it on, the words BRAVIA flashes for a second and the backlights stay on for 20 seconds, but no video or OSD. The backlights then turned off. All this time, the green LED in the front stays lit. If you hit the power button again it turned off, and iif you hit again, then it turns on, except, this time there is no "BRAVIA". Just a blank screen with backlight behind it. I got rid of the old main board and bought a new main board (yes I know it really is the main board, part number A-1728-743-A). With this board in place, now all the same behaviour repeats, except, now there is no BRAVIA that flashes either. Just a lit screen initially, followed by the BL turning off followed by nothing. If u try to turn on again, no BL this time, and green LED stays lit. The voltages from the PSU are all correct, 12Vunreg, 12V reg and 15V. I measured the voltages on some of the connectors, and in particular noticed that when the BL shuts down and the TV goes into a "coma" the inverter_err pin gets set to 1.9V (normal=0). At this point I do not know what the hell is wrong with this TV. If anyone has any experience with this set please help out. I have attached a picture of the boards.

      Here is the service manual:

      It is strange that you do not get any error codes either.

        I did download the service manual, but that didn't seem to have any useful information about this problem, primarily because it doesn't throw any error codes.

          Sony bravia kdl-43w755c - boot loop
          by justin35
          Hello,
          i have this sony bravia kdl-43w755c which boot loops. After sony logo, it shows the android animation loading then it restarts…
          from what i read online it looks to be an emmc issue…
          i’m not familiar with this kind of tv repairs… i’m repairing laptops and gpu’s…
          i took out the board and say an samsung 16gb emmc
          i don’t have an exact replacement, but i have a few 32 and 64gb emms’s from laptops…
          i could try to put one instead of the 16gb one, but will it work?
          where do i get the software from?
          any help will be much appreciated!...

          Sony Bravia KDL-32BX400 Solid Green Power Light, nothing else!
          by chabregas2k
          Hi everyone!
          Could really use some of your knowledge with some pointers to where i should start looking at.

          So, as soon as i plug the mains, i get the green power light. no blinks no nothing. solid green. trying to put it in stand by is a no go... completely unresponsive, both in button panel as in remote.

          Seeing im very new to this, could some one try and help me fix the darn thing?


          Thanks a lot. Didnt find any schematics for it....

          Panasonic TX-P42G30E green light blinking, no video, no audio
          by ItepK
          Hey everyone!

          I've gotten this TV for free, neither have it seen a TV repair man, neither have it been opened before.

          This post describes my entire troubleshooting process of this TV.

          When I turn it on using the ON/OFF switch at the side of the TV, the light rapidly flashes green, then it stays on, but it does not react to any of the remote buttons, side buttons, and doesn't play audio.

          I've taken the unit apart, and I've started to check some voltages:

          • On the P11 connector, there is 15V DC only for a brief moment, then it goes
