Hey everyone,
My Sony kf-50we610 didn't want to turn on all the way. I would hit the power button, the green power light would start blinking (6 times) and then start flashing red(6 times). I would hit power a few(3 or more) more times, it would turn on and at first it would have a very dim picture with sound. Then it would brighten up but have dim horizontal lines across the picture for about ten minutes and then would go away. After a couple weeks it stopped turning on all together. I have read that the 6 flash error code can be the thermal fuse or the G1 board. Also read that you can jump the thermal fuse and see if it will fire up. So, I cut out the thermal fuse and used a butt connector to connect the two wires and the TV showed no change.
I would like to know if I "jumped" the fuse properly? I assume it's like any other fuse except when this one gets hot it breaks the circuit.
Also the G1 boards are hard to find and expensive ,so there is a lot of repair services and repair kits out there, but what part of the board is the problem?
Have not been able to find a lot of info about the G1 board fix.
Thanks for any and all help.
