Hi,

The Standby/Power light of the TV blinks when there is any internal malfunction in the TV. The self-diagnostic function of the TV will cause the STANDBY light to blink or flash when the television detects an issue. The number of times the STANDBY light flashes corresponds to a specific issue.
Few examples are given below; some of the issues may be resolved without the need for service.
1 blink / 2 blinks / 5 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a power-related problem with your set.
3 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a power-related problem with your set. The set will need to be serviced to allow a technician to determine the specific issue that needs to be repaired. If the power light flashes three times in sequence in a Lamp TV, the lamp cover is not securely attached. Reattach the lamp cover to resolve this issue.
4 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a back light or lamp power problem.
6 blinks: - This indicates that there is some kind of audio problem with your set.
7 blinks: - This indicates that there is a temperature problem with your set. Please check to make sure that the air vents on the sides and back of the set are not blocked or clogged and there is adequate ventilation around the television. We recommend that you check and clean the vents periodically to make sure the set receives adequate air flow. If the problem continues, the set will need to be serviced.
8 blinks: - This indicates that there may be a video-related problem with your set. If the flash sequence is not listed above or the light continues to flash, follow the steps below to perform a power reset:
Try the following steps to check if the issue can be resolved.
Turn off the television.
Unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet.
Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet.
If the television is plugged into a power strip or surge protector, remove it from the power strip or surge protector and plug it directly into the wall outlet. If the issue is resolved, the problem is with the power strip or surge protector and not the television.
If the issue continues to occur, service may be required.

Good day!!!!


TV won't power ON..

This is the common problem..

Power supply board or main board..

Please try this procedure to determine the faulty parts.

1. Open the back cover.
2. Check the input of the power supply board it should have 220vac or 110vac depends on your voltage comes from the outlet.
3. If you don't have voltage input of PSU..Please or try to replace the power cord.
4. If you have voltage input on PSU..Please check the output voltage of it..It should have 5vdc for the main board,12 or sometime 16vdc for the audio and 24vdc for the inverter board(back-light).
5. If you encounter voltage drop on the output..Please check the power supply board if have leak/bulged on the top capacitors..Please replace it with the same type,ratings and value.
6. If the 3 voltages mention above are normal..Your main board is defective you need to replace it because main board is not for D.I.Y repair due to the surface mount type parts on it..

I hope this solution will be helpful..

Thanks for using fixya...

Hello
The remote sensor inside your tV is faulty. Remote sensor can be located just behind the remote sensor window on the front panel. It will look like a square or round very small window, which will be covered with transparent glass type material. through this window, the infrared signal rays from your remote control falls into a sensor which is fitted inside. it will be soldered to a printed circuit board, will have three solder terminals. Will look brownish-black in colur. You have to open your TV and unscrew out the board to which it is fitted. There will be a number, usually printed by ink or laser printed. This number is most important to note when you replace it. The component can be brought from most of the electronic spare part shops at your town. If you have the concept of desoldering and soldering, you yoursef can replace it at home. OK.

Hello
Press the remote button marked ( i+)/(?). For each press the diplay will come back and vanish. This button can be located top right of four buttons around the large main menu control button. OK.

When it shuts off, does the LED at the front start blinking? If yes please count the number of blinks and let me know so that I can tell you what the problem is. Its a self-test diagnostic code so please observe carefully.

Hello,

power supply board is dead, u know basic electronics' and soldering? Most of the times, the power supply board just have dead leakages gases capacitors.These capacitors always bulges up on it top,or puff up on it top.Replaced these gases leakages capacitors will get your TV power stable,and work again.Or tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Hope that this will help to solve the problem.....

Tv turn on now?Flashes of pictures a few sec.before it died and have sound left only?Yes,than those 1 or 2 long boards that call the LCD inverter boards are dead.These 1 or 2 long LCD inverter boards help the tv to have a backlight for the tv LCD screen panel to produced a picture.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy those refurbishes 1 or 2 long LCD inverter boards for the replacement.

Reduce Display Resolution of laptop external monitor output, go to my computer > control panel > Display > Settings > Screen Resolution.
Thanks.

Hi, This may sound odd but it can be done: I once rented/bought ( Can't remember which now) a standard dvd with a THX certification-of all things that played on my screen was a TEST pattern. If you could find something like that then you could pause playback and adjust to your hearts content! because thats what i did-a splendid replacement for a color wheel I thought. Oh by the way you get into most flat screen t.v.'s adjustments using the menu button, it would be under " PICTURE " good luck, iI hope this has been of some use. Let FixYa know if there is anything else we can do or if that did it. thanks, Prodzilla

i've had 3 kdl32s2000 in the shop in the last 3 mo. ad all were display panel problems

You can try unplugging it for a while and then plugging it back in, but according to the manual, the standby LED:
Lights up red when your TV is in PC power saving mode. If the LED blinks in red continuously, this may indicate the TV needs servicing.
(Operating Instructions, Page 22)

Your fridge requires a supressor or connect it on a different ring main as it is interfering with your TV.

You can get the operating manual from;
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/KDL40S2000.pdf

and get the instruction for reseting the tv.

Hi,
There is a button Info / Display on tv remote control, press it, AV Icon/ On-Screen Display will disappear.
Thanks.

Does your laptop have a VGA port? if so use a VGA cable, the frequency is correct and the picture will be cleaner. The S2000 has PC input. once you have it connected, go to your control panel and select display and look for multiple monitor. It just depends on your laptops operating sys. It can be found in help and support as well. If you need further help, post a comment and I will get you the answer.

Do you subscribe to cable television? If you do, you will need a cable box to decode the signal, otherwise unless your local provider offers a free to air service, your TV will not be able to decode the cable signal. It is important to know wether you are connecting your TV to a cable socket, or aerial or satellite, as these are all very different signals which your TV may not decode.

its pc problem you need to configure properly your display option from the pc.
