Re: Sony KDL-65W850A 5 blinks error

- When plugged to the outlet the standby red light doesn't tuns on.
- When powered I can hear one or both of the relays clicking on and off as the...

Hello. I guess I'm a fixer/installer with a wide range. I work on home appliances, mobile phones, cars, computers, multimedia devices, home alarms, CCTV, home automation, etc. I took a couple of basic electronic courses in college but my weak link is complex electronics, so I come to you for enlightenment. I'll be asking for help mainly on PCBs I can't figure out. Thank you.
