Hello, I have a Sony Grand Vega television, Model KDF-E55A20. The screen has seemed dark and now the unit will shut off periodically. It will stay off for thirty seconds or so and will come back on it's own. There are no signal lights that come on when this happens; however, if I turn the unit off when this happens and try to turn it back on the power light blinks 5 times. It will pause a few seconds and blink five times again. This continues until it makes a reboot/resetting sound and then turns back on. This only happened once maybe twice a day for a couple of weeks. Now it is happening approximatley every fifteen to twenty minutes. Any good diagnosis?? I have read that the bulb is probably bad but the bulb light has not gone on. I have also read about possibly having to replace the thermal fuse. Or maybe a circuit board?? I have no idea!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

SOURCE: Sony KF-50WE610 flahing red light (6 blinks)

Jeff, did you look at the Sony web site? They had a problem with 9 different TV models that were from 2003 and 2004, KF-42WE610, KF-50WE610, KF-60WE610 and 6 other models.
This is what it states: It haas come to our attention that a limited number of Grand WEGA rear projection TV's may exhibit warping to the lamp access door. In rare cases, some additional components may also become damaged as a result. and so on........
You probably have some components melted on the inside around the lamp. I have a 42 inch and I just replaced the lamp at Christmas and the door was melted shut. This is the second lamp that I have replaced, the door was starting to melt the first time. They never sent me anything about this problem, and as of today I am still trying to work something out with them. The repair shop who has it told me that it can't be repaired. The parts that are melted are not in stock and they don't make them anymore. They are supposed to get back with me and make me some kind of offer.
They will only fix this problem through March 31, 2009.

I have a Sony KDF-E55A20 rear projection, it will shut off pic/sound for 15 seconds then come back on for 15 min...then the same...I had a problem with this about 3 weeks ago and cleaned the bulb vents and...

Hopefully it's still under warranty or you purchased an extended warranty. My concern is that it is either a power supply issue or a lamp ballast issue. If it has overheating in the past then there may be other issues going on.
Would suggest bringing it into a good trusted service shop.

I have a 2.5 year old kdf-e55a20 grand wega. Screen goes dark, no audio, comes back after a minute or less, stays on for short time or could stay on for hours.

Hi!

Sounds like your signal tuner or your main board (main unit), if the 2 boards are separate I would say your signal board. But you may also look at your power supply for any bad caps (capacitors), they would be bulging on the top or leaky (brownish stain) if they were bad. This drives all the boards that above mention!
