Replace HDMI cable first, then check whether your box works on HDMI out. Try connecting box using other out (USB, VGA, DVI, DP, cable)

Depending on the type of TV, the longevity can be affected significantly. If your TV is a plasma model, they run very hot and the plasma only lasts about 4-5 years. That is why plasma is no longer being made by any of the major manufacturers. It was state of the art when it came out, but now LED TVs are the standard. They use much less energy, run a lot cooler and last much longer. Longevity really depends upon the technology used, not always who made it.

The main power supply regulator section circuit fault. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

I found them on eBay, but they are kind of pricey! http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XOlevia+remote+code+for+Sony+Bravia+RM-ADP111+.TRS0&_nkw=Olevia+remote+code+for+Sony+Bravia+RM-ADP111+&_sacat=0 I hope this helps you out!

hi 7 red flashes- main board over heating, can be short on power board or main logic board, thanks shaun

Do a factory reset to this set, and then check. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ Service mode entry, adjust and exit procedure to many popular brand TVs are given. Never forget to exit the service mode, after all adjustments have been done.

hello Dear this is panel problem please replace panel Thanks M Nasir

Hi dear its main board problem and some time LVDS FFC cable problem . thanks M Nasir

The LVDS harness is the cable that connects the T-con and Main board. Sony LVDS Cable For KDL 40Z4100 KDL 40Z4110 amp KDL 46VL160 eBay

Poor information...what pattern of flashing ie:4 flash pause 4 flash pause etc. There are many Bravia models out . Hugh

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. http://homenol.blogspot.com/ http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

T'Con board fault. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ faults & possible causes to LCD & Plasma screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent. Faults to all LCD & Plasma screen are similar, irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Nice TV ,but, is an LCD . most likely cause may be after long service life the 'Cold Cathode' tubes have begun to grow a carbon track down from the high voltage input . This causes the power supply for that voltage to determine too much load and shuts down . I am surprised you do not see a flashing LED pattern but this does not mean that the condition was communicated to the ECU . That is a lot of tubes to change at about 40 usd for 10 pieces . It is also a Pain in your seat cushions to disassemble to confirm (ie: delicate connections to undo , mechanical puzzles to solve) I have seen Youtube videos of people converting to LED backlights with very nice results . It is possible but not recommended to change just the bad ones , you will soon have to do the rest anyway . There may be a shop that does it often and could save $ compared to replacing with LED tv set that size or maybe a shop that converts(not me!) Luck ... Hugh

There are a few things to ponder here...probably the high voltage inverter power board is shutting down due to excess power drawn from CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamps) . This will happen eventually as a carbon track starts to grow down the tube drawing more current . There has to be a lot of hours for this to happen . Sony was not free from the bad capacitor affliction...an ESR tester is not an expensive investment unless you only use it once but it can find bad caps that are not showing signs of ***** ie:leakage ,swelling. failing ballast transformers would be replaced by new inverter board . This would be a last resort without schematic and instrumentation to get hard data to find culprit . The CCFL tubes can be replaced and may be worth the time and effort with sweat equity . At approx 40.00 usd for 10 you would have to decide for a mere 32 inch LCD TV . I would spend the money to get an LED TV and get longer service life and possibly better features ie: smart TV Hugh

Connect a internet cable to your Tv and to the LAN of your router

Check and replace the damaged components at its back light inverter circuit board. If you wish to get more details visit the site linked here. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Sure sounds like the power supply board received an insult that allowed a different voltage to work for a while . UPS will regulate top 120 volt whereas mains may be higher or lower . You may be able to change bad capacitors or just buy the power board between 80 to 200 dollars . If it was connected to UPS during surge it should have been protected...make sure you are connected to 'battery' side as a lot of UPS have a 'surge only' side that will not stop a rapid on/off power insult . Hugh

Return it to the store for a replacement before your warranty expires. There isn't any setting that would correct that kind of noise problem.

Let it be there. It will vanish by the end of this year.
