Re: KDL-40X4500 and KDL-46X4500 Issues

I took a picture of the front and back of the 46" TV G6 board.

It's been a long day, so I only took a photo of the top of the GL board.

Re: KDL-40X4500 and KDL-46X4500 Issues

I attempted to power on the smaller 40" TV yesterday and it suddenly started working!

This was after I pulled the G6 board out (to take pictures), reconnecting it and cleaning the dust off.

I initially panicked when I wasn't getting audio/video after hooking it up to my Bluray player but it turned out the HDMI cable was faulty.

I didn't have time to pull the boards off the larger TV for pics, but will do that when I get home after work. I did manage to get the service manual though.

Hi Everyone,

I have a Sony KDL-40X4500 and KDL-46X4500 that were in perfect working condition when I last stowed them away (approximately 1 and 2 years ago respectively).

The issue with the larger TV is that it won't power on - there's no audio, no video, no clicking noise. Just the green power LED blinking every 3 seconds indefinitely.

The smaller TV exhibits very different symptoms. Hitting the power button results in an audible click with the green power LED turning on, but then a second later the unit turns itself off.

I have tried...

Hi Everyone,

The internet brought me here when I was searching for possible fixes for 2 of my LCD TVs. I was very surprised to find a treasure trove of information tucked away here. Here's hoping I'll find a solution and that it'll help others in a similar predicament as well.
