Re: Sony Bravia LCD KDL-32L4010 four blink error code

these are the readings

14..1.6
13..1.4
12..3.1
11..1.8
10..ground
9..g
8..g
7..g
6..g
5..24.4
4..24.4
3..24.4
2..24.4
1..24.4

im thinking board or bulb since its giving me 1.8 on the error out pin...

took it apart to see what was lighting it...seems to be ok...they all lit up...checked the caps on the board..there ok...

I thought post #1 said they came on then went off. It may be worth your while checking that all the tubes are firmly held in their end connectors while you have it open. Also although it does not show in the photo, are any of the tubes dimmer than the others.

Is the larger IC on the inverter board an OZ9972BN

Re: Sony Bravia LCD KDL-32L4010 four blink error code

they do come on for about 1 second...i took a fast pic..they all look the same brightness...ill look and see about the large ic...the boards on the service manual that was linked to me on this thread is completely different,.....

what voltage am i suppose to be getting at the connection to the bulbs? im getting some weird readings..cranked it up to 600 on my multi meter.

I believe it to be somewhere in the order of 1200V to 2500V AC so do not use your multimeter or you will be purchasing a new one.

well im leaning towards a new inverter board..i did find one ..the exact same numbers on the board..but its from a kdl-32l5000 model.threre are green boards and blue boards..one was made in 2008..and one in 2009..mine is green...im guessing it should be ok....

If you solder a 10K resistor across C014 carefully without losing the capacitor, then do the lamps stay on.

This was posted on another forum as a quick check to see if there was a CCFL tube problem, however I've never tried it.

The idea behind it is that if there is a faulty lamp it forces the inverter to stay on.

However it is only intended to be a quick test to establish if any of the tubes are faulty.

did you check what budm suggested in post 20 transformers have been known to go faulty causing this type of issue

Re: Sony Bravia LCD KDL-32L4010 four blink error code

Yes well worth checking those out first and compare the resistance readings to each other. If memory serves me correctly there should no more than 3% difference in the readings.

put my meter to 60k..tested the bottom transformer..was 0.68..tested the top one..was 0.69......the small single one was 0.01...

heres the transformer in question,,,,

Move your meter down to a lower resistance setting so that it reads ohms not Kohms
