Sony Grand WEGA KDF-60XS955 60" Rear Projection HDTV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

It's in standby mode.

Let's do a reset and see what happens

While holding down the reset button on the remote
Press the power button on the tv
(The tv will turn itself off the back on)
Now release the reset button

Let me know how this works

The problem here with the lamp is it has an average 2,000 hour life--only way for a "tech" to know if it is the problem is to replace it.The ballast is the power supply for the lamp---lamp goes bad a lot more often than the ballast= sounds like the tech wants to create a shop repair..........Sometimes the lamp will provide a warning by being dimmer just before it fails and sometimes not.The lamp is customer replaceable(owner manual and You Tube have written and video instructions for most models).You if change the lamp take a gamble--either it fixed the problem or not--Any shop or expert who tells you to replace the ballast first without even trying another lamp (10 minute job) is feeding you a story for lack of another expression.

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. https://homenol.blogspot.com/ https://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Nope. It appears that you now have a main power supply issue since the set is dead.

First area to check out is the power supply of the set.

I'm having the same problem. My TV will play for for awhile and then it just dims down for about 1 to 2 minutes then powers up again. The green light stays on doesn't blink at all, and there is no red light that comes on or blinks like when our lamp went out. We replaced the lamp about 6 months ago and it's been working great until this week.

Check the ballast board. This board is connected to the lamp wires and controls the lamp. Check the fan for dust build up too.

ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION??????

3 flashes indicate the lamp cover is not secure.

you have a lamp or lamp door switch that is failing. The only way to fix it is to replace the switch that is bad. The price range to have this repaired normally runs between $200-300. The range is so wide because if the lamp door switch is bad then it is a lot easier to change, if the lamp switch is bad (which it normally is) it is mounted on the light engine and almost the entire tv has to be disassembled to change it.

O O, it sounds like your power board is going out have a service man come out and tell you whats wrong it cost $600 for the part I just bought another flat screen its cheaper. Good luck

It only works when using TV antenna/cable input.

Sounds like a DLP chip failing if thats the type of TV that is

Weak lamp if no red lights.

If no red lights come up, check your lamp. Door on right rear of TV.

Any red lights? If not, most likely a bulb. Open lamp door and inspect bulb. Change if necessary. It is not always obvious the bulb is bad, a weak bulb can cause the same issue.

Check your manual. Usually a door located on right rear of TV (when facing TV). Make sure to secure door properly after.

Check your lamp. A weak lamp can cause the TV to power down. Also inspect and clean the fans to the best of your ability.

No lights?? Are all fans running properly? Check for dust buildup and clean out. Dust can slow down the fans enough to shut it down. Sounds like a cooling issue.
