Sony KDL-46X4500 - 6 LED Blink Code

Re: Sony KDL-46X4500 - 6 LED Blink Code

So I have to take the readings again before the TV goes in to blink mode?

That's with the TV off, you have to catch it in that 2 second on time frame.

Measure up the all pins on the connector and report back with the pin out name and voltages measured.

Sounds like an inverter problem.

Only had around 3.35 VDC on BLon pin for about 2 seconds when TV switched on, then went in to blink code? What I did notice was, the SONY logo on the center front panel lit up momentary?

328.5V means the PFC is off, no boosted voltage, no power for the inverter.
395V means the PFC is running and you have PSon signal and the STBY voltage is there too. So the inverter should get sufficient power, from the power supply. Next check the BLon pin to see if the inverter gets turned on too.

When TV on standby (red led) I obtain 395.0 VDC, switch on TV, green led stays on momentary and then changes to red 6 led blink code, at this point I have a reading of 328.5 VDC?

That is an inductor for the pi filter.
You have problem in the inverter circuit. You do need to make sure you do have boosted Volatge of around 400Vdc to run the inverter section, also need to check fusible resistor that feeds the 400Vdc to run the inverter circuit.

Removed NEC/TOKIN 4 R 7 capacitor/coil from board and checked with ESR70. Reads same either way around.

Re: Sony KDL-46X4500 - 6 LED Blink Code

Can you check these type of capacitor/coils using a ESR meter, if so, I obtain - in circuit/leaking, ESR 1.87 ohms?

Re: Sony KDL-46X4500 - 6 LED Blink Code

The blue capacitor/coil, as far as I can see is TOKIN R7? Seems as if the capacitors are all Rubycon?

Picture 2 , the blue capacitor/coil? ( with the black dot showing negative side ). Cant really see what it is. It looks like a swollen cap?

What brand of caps are in that psu?

Hi, have a Sony KDL-46X4500 with a 6 LED blink code, no picture or sound. So far, only checked STB voltage, which is 03.37V. There are no other voltages on same connector as STB?

Did a quick google and found that the 6 LED code could be either the main board, power supply board or inverter boards, not sure which one or what to check next? Thanks.
