    Sony KDL-40EX723 5 Blinks

    Wonder if you can help me troubleshoot this one. It's doing 5 blinks of the standby light. The service manual flowchart says to look for 12V at pin 1 of CN6001 on B* board. It only very briefly spikes to 12V on switch on and then back to 0V. I have to use the peak function on my meter to catch it. I'm not sure if that counts as having 12V there or not. Should the 12V be maintained or does it get shut off once the mainboard detects an error? 5 blinks points towards t-con but what can I do to narrow down the problem?

    I'd be very grateful for any help you can give.

      So it was the LVDS cable. Thought I'd already checked it pretty thoroughly but I gave the ends another good clean and the TV comes on now.

      It now shows a few thin horizontal lines just at the top of the screen that span the whole width. Can't seem to affect them by further cleaning or adjustment of LVDS cable. Is it worth getting a new cable or am I looking at a panel or t-con issue?

          This is a panel failure right? The lines at the top? Shame. I guess this one will be sold for parts then.

              Sony XR-55X90J 5 blinks
              by matwan
              Hello,

              I have problem with SONY 55X90J. After several check status is as below;
              1. Running power board as stand alone:

              TCON_12V =~ 12.6V
              EVDD V On Max 24V= 19V.

              2.              Running power board with TCON as stand alone:

              Effect as below, attched.

              3. When bottom LVDS cable is disconnected no blinks, but of course no TCON 12V and EVDD.
              "I'm almost sure it's a defective panel, but maybe someone has encountered a similar issue on their screen.

              Best regards....

              Sony XBR-75X940E intermittent 6 blinks error code
              by GoodCapDude
              Hi everyone. First post on Badcaps!

              I am trying to fix a Sony 940E from 2017 that either starts normally (and works perfectly until turned off) or goes straight to the 6 blinks error code without showing anything on the screen. It is frustrating to know that it can still work perfectly but is barely usable because of the difficulty starting it up. I am willing to try to short the BL_ERR but I would like to avoid that if possible. Does anyone have a view on this? Thanks a lot....

              Sony KD-65A1 Repair – 4 Red Blinks Error
              by AK_777
              Hi everyone!
              I have a Sony KD-65A1 TV with a fault – 4 red LED blinks. After disassembly and visual inspection, I found that the G76 power board and DKA board had been replaced. It is also possible that TCON was replaced, but I am not sure – there are a few marker marks that could be factory-made.

              Based on assumptions, the previous service attempted to solve the issue by replacing potentially faulty components. I decided to investigate further, found a service manual, and figured out a way to power up the power supply unit autonomously and put the OLED panel and...

              Sony A1e 5-blinks help
              by jchon
              Hi I'm new to trying to repair TVs, but I saw a broken OLED offered for a reasonable price and thought I'd try my hand at it.

              I found the service manual, which was critical to know where to probe.
              https://www.manualslib.com/manual/20...1e-Series.html

              With it I was able to determine that my DKA board was bad, when P_ON#1/2 gets enabled REG_12 on the DKA board collapses. I'm assuming one of the downstream regulators has a short, but I couldn't work out which rail/component and replaced the DKA board entirely.

              Unfortunately the 5-blinks...

              Sony XBR-65X850D 2 Red Blinks
              by Nicktronic
              Hi all,

              I have the subject TV and it will work normally sometimes but suddenly go black and give the 2 red blinks blink code. When this happens, I check the power supply board voltages and all I have is the Standby 3.3V and BL_ERR 2.2V. When it's working normally, all power supply board voltages look normal and stable. I've checked the backlights with a tester and they all test good. I've also read that the 2 red blinks is a faulty power supply board, so could it be throwing up an erroneous BL_ERR?

              Any Sony experts out there that can help??...
