    Sony KDL-52EX700 - 5 Blinks

    I've read some horror stories about this TV series with 5 blinks. I was watching TV at a friends house (Nice set - not 4k but great pic) then all of a sudden the TV shut off. Pushing the Power button, yields switch from red to green LED. Seems like it's going to start, then goes to Red LED. Then Red LED off, and blinks 5 times, and repeat.

    I tried the Display + 5 + Vol - + Pwr, but nothing turns on. Unplugged from wall, pressed the PWR on set for 30 second, replugged it in, no change

    Where do I start Anyone has experience with this that can save some time on troubleshooting? I downloaded the Service manual and the troubleshooting guides from Sony. There is No damage to the panel, went from on, to basically non-functional. Help is appreciated.

          Thanks - This error seems to have cause many people headaches - some reported TCON failure, some LCD Damage, Some even just cleaning the LVDS took care of the problem. Just looking for tips on going about this.

              Shorted panel tabs (board between panel and TCON) was the issue.. non-fixable unfortunately.
              Thanks

                  The caps on that tab bonding boards none of them shown as shorted?

                      There were actually burn marks on the flex cables ... too many to attempt a repair. I didn't go further to find the cause. As soon as I disconnected the panel, back light on, sound on, and so on.. so at least I know the components are good and I can get some ca$h back

                          Sony XR-77A80K 5 Red Blinks Troubleshooting
                          by Dogindelusion
                          Hi everyone! I am a new member and am new to electronics repair. I have a background in electrical engineering, but little experience in electronics.

                          I have a Sony XR-77A80K which will not turn on and has 5 blinking red lights in the stand-by light. I had previously done a forced factory reset, which removed the error code, and the TV regained functionality for a few weeks. I repeated the factory reset and again regained functionality. This happened a few times until I so I had to begin troubleshooting the error.

                          Observations:
                          1) I noticed I was not getting...

                          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 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??...

                          Looking for assistance troubleshooting a Panasonic TC-P65ZT60 with 3 LED Fast Blinks
                          by CrewmanRedShirt
                          Hello all,
                          As the title states, I followed the troubleshooting guide located here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/23...page=53#manual, which concluded the 'A' board needs to be replaced. Looking around the net and eBay, I see that there are repair services for the board (TNPH1043UE? Not sure if it is a 'UE' as the suffix grid does not appear marked). What additional troubleshooting can be performed to ensure 1) this board is the problem and 2) since there are repair services, what are they fixing on the board?) I expected 3.3V not to be available anywhere...

                          Sony 75X9400E TV.. 5 Red blinks
                          by dumbdd
                          I was using this TV for 5 years before it stopped working. I like this TV and would love to fix it myself.*

                          When I press the power button, the white led comes on (sony calls the module smart core) and then it switches over to 5 red blinks. No screen, no backlight, no relay click, nothing. I have disassembled the tv and found the service manual for 75x940e online. The manual suggests a faulty power board, TCON or the panel.**

                          The standby pin is at 3.3V. Fuses on the mainboard and TCON are fine. Caps on TCON also seem to be fine. When I turn on the tv the white led...
