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.

I have over 10 years experience in electronic tech support.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but the problem you've described can't be fixed with
troubleshooting. Your TV will have to be repaired. There is a part that has developed a defect and needs to be replaced. If you're still in warranty, the TV will be repaired at no charge to you. The warranty would likely be at least one year from the date of purchase from the manufacturer. If you purchased an extended service plan they will repair the TV at no charge as well.

If the TV is no longer in warranty, it will likely cost a minimum of $150 parts and labor. This is assuming that you only need one
circuit board or small part. If the problem is more than one of the circuit boards, the price of repair could go much 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 let me know if I can be of further assistance.

SOURCE: I have a kv-32ls60u Sony TV. It blinks 5 times

The most common failures are the flyback transformer assembly and sometimes some of its support components, and or there is the possibility of a short in the CRT electron gun. In either case, the power supply is going in to protect mode, and the uPC is sending this flashing error code to the front LED.
I have no idea if the flyback transformer assembly is still available, but I am very sure the CRT is no longer available. In any case you will find the cost of servicing your set to be expensive for its age. The last time I checked, the cost of the CRT exceeded the replacement cost of the set.

I have a sony tv model kv-27v42 i have sound but no pictture and stand by light blinks what is the problem

How many times do this standby light blinks at a time of switch on? These blinks are fault indications. From the number of these blinks, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. Count it. If you wish to get more details about the blinking codes to Sony TVs, check this link.

Sounds like you have a short in your set. Probably a shorted horizontal output transistor. You need to have a tech check it out and give you an estimate for repairs. Stargazer
