    New victim - Sony KDL-46EX723 with occassional inverter issue

    I picked this up for a bedroom TV, for the price I couldn't pass it up. TV generally works great, but the seller said that it periodically will not power up, giving 6 blinks (inverter error). I haven't seen it do this myself, but wanted to get ahead of things. The service manual workflow, I've found on other sets, isn't always efficient. It starts with replacing the main board, which I would hate to do right off the bat.

    What makes this tougher is the infrequency of the error. But in the meantime, are there any known things I should look for if I pop the case off it? Since it's LED, not CCFL, I wouldn't expect to see those common 680uf caps that tend to fail.

      Forgot about this post. Turns out that all it needed was a firmware update. Done deal, super-cheap TV

              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 KDL-46HX850 Can't upgrade/update firmware
              by dkneyle
              Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

              Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...

              Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
              by x_orange90_x
              I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

              I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...
