Ok, I'll give it a go!

Maybe clean and reseat all ribbon cables from the screen to tcon and also the lvds lead from t con to main board, maybe if your shed was a little damp etc its got some moister/corrosion on the cables etc.

EERRMM.. Just when you thought it safe to go in to the water.

Just dragged this TV from outside as I was repairing it in my shed. Now have it all connected up but have vertical lines appearing all across the screen?

As you know, I only replaced the inverter board so was not able to see any image until now, any ideas, possible t-con maybe, hope it's not the panel?

Thanks.

Hello,
Power supply schematic to start you off.

good to hear!

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

Hi again, I rechecked the fuses, resistors etc. that BUDM asked me to and as before, they all seemed ok but having taken so many days trying to figure out the problem, I decided to take a chance and source another board.

I managed to find a second hand inverter board from the States, although not from shopjimmy, having said that, I have recently found out that shopjimmy do ship to the UK, just need to e-mail austin@shopjimmy.com.

Anyway, the board arrived the other day of which I have fitted and glad to say the TV is now up and running!

Thanks everyone for your help with this subject.

How do you check to see if the R G B drives lift sensibly?

Looking at the GL schematic that budm found, each of R_OUT, B_OUT and G_OUT have feedback comparators, and also zeners to detect over voltage and raise ERROR.
Probably the simplest information to consider initially would the be volt readings on all the other external connectors, without the redundancy, before and after fault detected. I gather you're already happy with the PFC 400v supply.

Higher Voltage will require less current through the devices and traces and wire for the same power if you run at lower Voltage then you need bigger conductors and higher current rating for the device for the same power.
I.E. you want to produce 100 Watts of power, if you power source is 100V then the current requirement will be 1A (100V x 1A = 100W) through the load.
But if you need 100 Watts of power but your power source is only 10V then you will need 10A of current so the wire gauge will be much bigger and the switching device will have to be able to handle the higher current.

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

Stupid question, but why does the GL board require 400 VDC?

[budm]

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

You are fine on the PFC Voltages feeding the backlights circuits.

[AlbertRoss]

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

TV turned on, green LED on, 395.0 VDC on the GL board.

[budm]

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

It is the boosted Voltage from the PFC circuit, is should be closed to 400VDC.

[AlbertRoss]

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

I removed the board, checked the fuses and resistors again, all seem ok.

Not sure about the PFC voltage, is this the 450V voltage from the PSU?

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

Shopjimmy may still send too the uk i asked the other day on a board i needed for someone maybe send this person a email.

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

Did you check those fuses and resistors I have marked up in the last PDF? and the PFC Voltage?

[AlbertRoss]

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

Can't find any GL boards on E-Bay, there are a few in the States but shipping costs too high. Found one in Holland, total cost 64.51 euros which is about 50.00 pounds or $70.00.

How do you check to see if the R G B drives lift sensibly?

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

Thanks again, I will check the GL board again this evening.

Any idea which state shopjimmy are located?

Sounds like you might want to petition for a special concession!
Have you looked elsewhere?
My experience is that postage from USA to other places in the world is prohibitively expensive compared to some other places. sorry to say, but real.
Have you been able to isolate whether each of the R B G drive lines lift sensibly, and whether perhaps one of those triggers over voltage error?

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

The GL board at shopjimmy is only $27 but he does not sell boards to EURO any more due to too much fraud.
It will be worth swapping out the board if you can get it that cheap in UK.
Yes, it is very complicate, but one thing you can at least check is the Boosted PFC Voltage feeding the board, you can also test the fuses, resistors as I marked in the is PDF for the GL board.
Please note that the GL board in the service manual is not exactly the same as yours but may be good enough to use as a guide.

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

Thanks for the information and schematics.

Starting to get a bit complicated now, especially looking at the schematics. Having looked at the LED Error Codes for 6 flashes it seems as if we are going in the right direction i.e. Backlight - (LED) GL Board Error?

So am I to concentrate on troubleshooting the GL Board first? I had previously removed this board, checked a few caps, resistors, fuses etc. maybe I should have another look at it tomorrow?

Having said that, why do I not have a picture or sound as I'm unable to see why the backlights would have an effect?
