    Sony Bravia KDL-65W850C Red blink 6 times

    Hello all!

    New member here!

    I'm trying to see if this can be an easy fix, so far i found the service manual and followed the troubleshooting path a bit.

    When I power on the TV, i see "SONY" quickly flash but then it goes back to black. The power light flashes white a few seconds and then red for 6 blinks.

    The troubleshooting path had me check the BL_ERR signal and I have 3V so well above the written 1.9v threshold.

    Then I verified the Out1 and Out2 voltage and that's where i'm stuck.
    When I power on the TV, the voltage jumps to 280V only for a second and then drops to 130v. Then once the red blinking starts, it slowly drops back towards zero. Both Out1 and Out2 do the same.

    At this point, I'm thinking it's likely the GL1SB causing the problem by not being able to sustain the voltage high enough. But I'm not clever enough to trace and figure out what component needs to be replaced.
    I did probe a few capacitors but nothing obvious came out.

    Aside from a few expensive ebay boards, it seems like this board is no longer in stock so i'd really like to repair it as this TV was working quite well just a few days ago!

    Thanks for reading and fingers crossed someone has seen this before!

      Replacing the backlight will fix your problem.

          You mean the actual LEDs? I never thought of that, i guess they could go bad.

          The service manual doesn't see to cover those too much.

          I'll look into it, i guess if you mention replacing them, I can find those easily?

                  Thanks to both, I ordered a tool to test the led strips, before i dive further into the panel i'll see if that confirms it.
                  It looks like it's a major pain to get to the led strips, but not impossible!

                      The tester arrived today, the verdict is clear.
                      On Out1 it reads 170v and lights up.
                      On Out3 it reads 300+v and does not light up.

                      Clearly a burnt LED on Out2.

                      Now, I've seen a few videos, looks like a lot of disassembly to get to them, I'll order the LED strips, hopefully this goes well, little nervous!

                      Any tips?

                          it's VERY easy to crack those big screens, seems the bigger they are the more flimsy, keep checking those videos, its a total teardown to get to most backlights, take your time putting it back together, make SURE the screen fits even and flat on re-assembly, maybe take pictures along the way, specially when you run into spots where you say, now how the hell does this come off.

                              Watch the corners on refitting.
                              It's when and where the damage usually happens.

                                  Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 that will not power on
                                  by PopsCaps
                                  I have a Sony Bravia KDL-40V2500 that will not power on. The indicator flashes red 3 times.
                                  I do not hear any sound and I cannot see any backlight.
                                  I have tried disconnecting every cable on each board one at a time to see if anything changes.
                                  The only change is when I disconnect AC-DET cable on the Power Supply board or on the other end if I unplug the CN7009 connection on the B-Board and try to power on the TV the indicator will stay on solid green until I power off.
                                  My friend ordered another used power supply board but it is also doing the red indicator flash 3 times...

                                  4 Blink Error Help: Sony Bravia KDL-65W850A
                                  by Gearheadski
                                  When I power the TV on, usually nothing happens, it clicks, and then it shuts off and the red light blinks 4 times. Sometimes the backlights turn on for a few seconds, flicker, and then it powers itself off. I was able to access the service menu screen once, and it showed numerous LD_ERR instances. I have since replaced the backlights and the LD Board (part #ST650LD-20S01), but have not had any success - still the same error code. I've also tried disconnecting and grounding both the LD_ERR and BL_ERR wires to bypass the error, but that didn't work either. Any ideas of what the problem is and how...

                                  Sony 85x90CK 4 red blink
                                  by EazyBone
                                  So I got this Sony and purchased it working.. got it home and it was 4 blinks red. Seller actually refunded me thankfully. Now it's massive to take apart and I know 4 blink can be the panel sometimes but not always..

                                  But I found a method through other ways with grounding out the bl error pin on the LD driver board. Now the tv turns on and works.

                                  Pin is number 27. It was either remove the resistor right next to the solder pad or solder the pad to ground. I soldered the pad.

                                  Now what is this going to do to the tv? Is it just going to die shortly down the road?...

                                  Sony bravia kdl-43w755c - boot loop
                                  by justin35
                                  Hello,
                                  i have this sony bravia kdl-43w755c which boot loops. After sony logo, it shows the android animation loading then it restarts…
                                  from what i read online it looks to be an emmc issue…
                                  i’m not familiar with this kind of tv repairs… i’m repairing laptops and gpu’s…
                                  i took out the board and say an samsung 16gb emmc
                                  i don’t have an exact replacement, but i have a few 32 and 64gb emms’s from laptops…
                                  i could try to put one instead of the 16gb one, but will it work?
                                  where do i get the software from?
                                  any help will be much appreciated!...

                                  Sony RB2G Chassis KDL-55W815B MAIN BOARD 2 Blink Error issue resolved! Happy days :)
                                  by cheeky2
                                  For anyone interested just repaired this Sony Main board TV that had a 2 blink error code, the chassis is a RB2G which is common to quite a few different Sony models. The Ceramic 10uF 25V X7R 1206 capacitor C9114 was shorted which took the smd 2A 0603 fuse out F9101. This was powering the Buck converter TPS54332 which caused no 5V output from it.
                                  See the attached picture of the locations of both components. I also attach the best service manual I found for this board for anyone else in a similar position of trying to repair this main board. It's not specific to the TV model however it gives...
