    FIXED: Sony KDL40U2000 4 blinks

    This is the error code showing problems with the PSU/Inverter/lamps.
    In my case this was a very easy fix.
    After stripping the TV:
    -No signs of swollen caps. (Sony at its best)
    -Voltages Ok.
    -No blown fuses in the inverter.

    I had to unplug every bulb, clean the connector with alcohol and plug back.
    Tv started immediately, and luckily didnt want to enter service menu to reset (i dont have a Sony remote in my workshop).

    I applied hot silicone at the connectors just in case.

      Sony KDL-46BX450 Inverter Troubleshoot Logic
      by caseyjay_48
      I am currently on a troubleshoot of 46” Sony KDL-46BX450 tv. I came back from Washington to Texas on medical emergency and had to leave all my tools up there. All I have is a couple of screwdrivers and a dvm. I wish to ask the community a troubleshooting question. Please forgive stupid questions as meds I am taking produce brain fog.
      I have well maintained Sony KDL-46BX450. It went black one day. After turn-on, I get solid green light and Sony logo in screen center for about 1-2 seconds, then black. No blinking LEDs, no hissing. Flashlight test shows screen characters dimly viewable,...

      Sony XR-55A80J OLED TV 5 blinks - Troubleshooting steps
      by jason123
      Hi there,
      I see a couple of posts related to the troubleshooting of similar TV. The one I have is acting slightly differently and I'd love your help.

      So it has the 5 blinks. Previous owner got a TCON, no luck. Got a new Main board (though he didn't do the USB firmware update), again, no improvements.

      I see 2 posts that are relevant:

      Sony XR-55X90J 5 blinks
      by matwan
      Hello,

      I have problem with SONY 55X90J. After several check status is as below;
      1. Running power board as stand alone:

      TCON_12V =~ 12.6V
      EVDD V On Max 24V= 19V.

      2.      Running power board with TCON as stand alone:

      Effect as below, attched.

      3. When bottom LVDS cable is disconnected no blinks, but of course no TCON 12V and EVDD.
      "I'm almost sure it's a defective panel, but maybe someone has encountered a similar issue on their screen.

      Best regards....

      Sony XBR-75X940E intermittent 6 blinks error code
      by GoodCapDude
      Hi everyone. First post on Badcaps!

      I am trying to fix a Sony 940E from 2017 that either starts normally (and works perfectly until turned off) or goes straight to the 6 blinks error code without showing anything on the screen. It is frustrating to know that it can still work perfectly but is barely usable because of the difficulty starting it up. I am willing to try to short the BL_ERR but I would like to avoid that if possible. Does anyone have a view on this? Thanks a lot....

      Sony KD-65A1 Repair – 4 Red Blinks Error
      by AK_777
      Hi everyone!
      I have a Sony KD-65A1 TV with a fault – 4 red LED blinks. After disassembly and visual inspection, I found that the G76 power board and DKA board had been replaced. It is also possible that TCON was replaced, but I am not sure – there are a few marker marks that could be factory-made.

      Based on assumptions, the previous service attempted to solve the issue by replacing potentially faulty components. I decided to investigate further, found a service manual, and figured out a way to power up the power supply unit autonomously and put the OLED panel and...
