    Sony KDL 46Z5100 Blinking Red Light After Lightning

    I have a Sony KDL46Z5100 that we were watching and lightning struck near by and the tv turned off. Everything else in the house was fine including the Ac's which were running. The cable, phone, and internet all went down and i was told by the repairman that a coax cable in the basement fried.

    When i plug the tv in i hear a relay click and the green indicator led lights for a second then it goes to a red light the blinks 3 times. The screen never powers up.

    I downloaded the service manual for the set and it says replace the BU board for 3x blinking red light.

    How interchangeable are the BU boards? My BU board is 1-879-224-12 there is another number that is A-1671-683-A.

    I found a 1-879-224-12 board but it has A-1671-682-A - Will this work?

    I search of KDL-46z5100 also shows BU board 1-879-224-14. Will that board work? Im willing to put some money into saving the tv but i dont want to throw money away with out knowing the part will at least be the right one!

    I have found many 1-879-224-14 boards they have different A-1671-68X-X numbers. Do the second set of numbers count towards compatibility?


    Thank you for your help in advanced!

    Tricky, I would try to find exact board from the same model because sometimes you have to flash software again and I'm not very sure if you can find it and flash it without visiting service centre

        SONY KDL-55W905A 4 Blinking Red light
        by asher_pa
        My SONY TV (KDL-55W905A) started with '4 Blinking Red light' problem, my TV DO show picture for 3 Sec and turning screen off and start blinking - all factory reset technics did not help.

        google it and found the problem can be the PSU.

        my PSU model is 1-888-119-11 , APS-344 , APS-344(CH)



        As I can see I have 2 option:
        1. I OD HAVE multimeter but unfortunately not much knowledge how to use it (but DO have good soldering skills) maybe some can point me from his personal experience which part need to be replaced?

        2....

        Samsung UE40F5300AK blinking red light
        by Fergal22
        Hi,
        I have the above tv that just shows a red light blinking twice 5 times, i have taken the back off and all the capacitors seem ok,
        When i disconnect the mainboard from the PSU all the led's light up blinking fast but as soon as i reconnect the mainboard back to the power supply i get the red light blinking again twice 5 times,
        I have attached pictures of the Mainboard, PSU and a small video (zipped) showing what happens when i disconnect the lead from the psu
        Any help would be appreciated...

        Sony kdl 65xg9505 green amber blinking
        by shahnld
        Good Day.

        I just replaced tcon on my sony kdl 65xg9505 and getting green amber leds blinking. all voltages are ok according to working sequence.

        i downloaded firmware from sony and there is no .pkg fike.. after extracting it gives another file which contains multiple files like inf, payload.bin and 3, 4 other files. i just did that usb but did not worked. anyone knows anything how to do it..?

        green amber blinking stops after while and then starts again. tv responds to remote control on off etc. before installing new tcon backlite was coming on without backlite...

        Sony KDL-32R410B Shows up logo , then blinking red light
        by sigmeyer
        Okay ,so i got this TV , immediately assuming that there is a problem with power supply ... Tried another power brick with 19v and 20V (TV is rated at 19.5v) Still nothing. Replaced All 3 caps inside the TV. Under 1 cap i found some type of liquid ... It resembled water more than anything. I see no green on inside or anything like that , Might be a fresh spill of water but im not sure.
        Anyways i replaced all caps , tried different psu's and still nothing. Is it a software problem maybe?
        Also , the exact thing that happens when turned on is this>
        I press power button ,...
