RED FLASHING LIGHT

My TV is a Sony Wega KV-BZ14P40. Recently it started turning on with the usual green flashing and it settles but very shortly thereafter it starts to flash in red colour. It flashes red 5 times in a row, pauses for about 3 seconds and flashes 5 times again over and over. The picture is also dull especially when I just turn the TV on. Can you help please?

Most likely the flyback assembly, and or the horizontal output transistor failed. There is also a possiblity of some other faults that are putting the power supply in to the protect mode.

If there is a scan failure, it is possible that there is also some damage in the power supply.

The set will have to be serviced by a TV service tech.

SOURCE: SONY KV-XF21N90 WON'T TURN ON, Blinks 5 times

Hi,
5 times flashing light shows following possible problems in your tv..

• G2 is improperly adjusted.

• CRT problem.

• Video OUT IC1800 is faulty.(C5 board)

• IC301 is faulty. (A board)

Most probably cause is G2 voltage adjustment. If you know how to do it, please go ahead or look a tv tech around.
Regards,

G'Day!

Unfortunately, what you're describing is a repair issue. You won't be able to address the problem with troubleshooting. There is a part inside the TV that needs to be replaced. If you're under warranty, this will cost you nothing. If you're not under warranty the cost will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned that the cost could be considerably higher.

I hope I've provided you useful assistance and that this information allows you to make an informed decision as to how to proceed from here. Please be sure to vote on my response. I hope I've earned a good rating from you today.

Please post a comment if you need additional assistance so that I can help you further.

Red flashing light

Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.

Will not come on and front lights flashing red +

If your set is the KV-24FS120, then the standby light should blink with a repeated pattern. Count the blinks and post that number here. It is a diagnostic code that will indicate the defective circuit. Having that information will allow us to suggest repair options.

Thanks,
Dan

I have wega KV-HR36 red light flashing 10 times

Any malfunction associated with a flashing light usually indicates a circuit problem or defective component. Unfortunately, the days of taking off the back cover of your TV and replacing a defective tube or fuse are long gone. Proper servicing will require troubleshooting procedures that can only be performed by a qualified electronic repair facility or professional television repair person. Ask for an estimate and a realistic appraisal of whether the set can be adequately fixed. Depending on the age and condition of your TV it may not be cost effective to repair.
