  1. Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code. Check IC406 audio amp, PS401, and 402. On some projection models of Sony TV sets, this code means that T8005 (flyback transformer), or the associative components in the high voltage circuits are defective on the D board.

Visit the site named 'Electro-help' for more details. Check this link and select the site named above. View it in 'Flip card' option, which can be selected from the drop down box menu at the left top corner or the display window. It will make search easy. Some times, the ads attached with each posts might help you to find the availability of spare parts. There are more than 640 posts to different brand TVs.

KV-32HS510 and KV-27HS420, seven times blink error code shows problem in Horizontal deflection circuit.

There are many possibilities like dry solder joints, weak capacitors, Horizontal transistor short or flyback transformer fried etc.

If you have little experience of TV repair and good solder skills and have necessary tools to test / check defective parts, then you can make it. you also need to have related service manual to see board location, schematics and part numbers.

SOURCE: Sony KV-32HS420 will not come on has blinking standby light

Get out your original remote and hold the "Setup" button at the same time as holding the On/Off button on the TV set. It just worked for me!! Thank goodness. I was just about to bring it for repair but there's a snowstorm. Here's the link I got this from: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--esupportsonycom-perl-tutorial-displaypltutid297templateid1regionid1KSMFlag7370&sliceId=&docTypeID=DT_TUTORIALS_1_1&dialogID=53101564&stateId=0%200%2053105132

Use a hair dryer on the back right side of unit. Humidity sensor may be causing the unit to stay off. The hair dryer may also remove dust causing a false humidity detection

SOURCE: SONY TV MODEL kv-27s40 BLINKING RED LIGHT 2 BLINKS

The 2 blinks usually mea an over current problem. Perhaps the most common cause of this is a shortde Horizontal Output Transistor (HOT). If you can solder, you should be able to repair this yourself. Realize that there are potentially dangerous high voltages present inside the set even when unplugged. Look for a 3-legged ransistor attached to a heatsink close to the flyback (part with large red wire coming out the top). The part will be marked C5438 or something similar. Post that marking here nad I'll confirm the entire part number.

Keep us posted.

Is it a problem of the inverter board ?
These 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.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

My Sony Bravia TV will not turn on. the power light flashes red 7 times then stops for 4 seconds then repeats
System Error:
  • If a Red LED is blinking and the TV is not working properly it means that the TV has detected an issue or problem. Most Red LED blink conditions require service. The meaning of the blink codes differs between TV models, but the following steps may resolve user serviceable errors related to heat, temporary conditions, or software updates:

    NOTE: 8 Times Blink - For certain models, a special reset procedure is needed if the Red LED on the front of the TV is blinking 8 times and then repeats. This is a model-specific issue that may be resolved by following these steps (please check the answer to be sure your model is included).

    For other TV models or other Red LED blink codes:
    1. Turn the TV off and back on. If the TV will not respond to the remote or the power button, or if that does not fix the issue, unplug the TV. For a Projection TV or Projector , leave it off for 3 minutes. For other TVs leave it off for 1 minute. Plug the TV it back in and turn it on.

      NOTES:
        • If the TV 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.
        • Projection TVs and projectors need to cool down before they will turn on again. You may need to wait several minutes before these will turn back on.
    2. Clean any vents/slots in the TV cabinet and make sure there is room for air to circulate around the cabinet of the TV.
    3. Some Sony TVs have a media box (tuner) and separate display. If you have one of these TVs, check to make sure the cable between the media box and the display is securely connected.
    4. For Projection TVs and Projectors, make sure that the cover/door for the lamp is closed and secure.
    5. If the TV can be operated at all, check to see if a software update is available.
      • If your TV is connected to the Internet, press the Home or Menu button on the remote to get into the setting menus. The Software Update option is usually found under theProduct Support or Contact Sony menu.
      • NOTE: For a limited number of Internet-capable models, the only option is to turn onAutomatic Software Updates and allow the TV to update on its own. If you only have this option, make sure it is set to On. Automatic updates are only downloaded when the TV is in standby mode (turned off with the remote but not unplugged). Normally this download will happen overnight but may take up to 24 hours.
      • Software and driver updates for your Sony product are available online. You can check to see if a software (firmware) update is available for your television. Steps to install will be included if an update is available.
      • Older CRT TV's and TV's that cannot be connected to the Internet do not have an option to check for a software update or may not capable of being updated.
  • If these options do not resolve the issue, the problem is most likely related to an internal component that must be replaced and service will be required.RF

Most Common Problem with these tvs is Bad Picture Tubes, First what happens is you will find Shorted Hori output Transistor,then Bad (FBT) flyback Transfomer, then after you replace these 2 parts you will find out that the Picture is leaking High Voltage and that is what caused Parts to go Bad.

My tv sony wega dont turn on an the standby light blinks 16 times model KV-32FV310
Hello
Standby light on Sony TVs blinks 16 times is abnormal I thiks. It may come up to 8 blinks or so. You jsut switch off the set by AC mains switch at the front panel, switch it again with it and count the exact numbers. Never switch it On_Off by remote hanset.
If it happens even after this process, you just do the following
Press the following button on your remote control as stated
"Display"_"Channel"_"5"_"Vol Minus" [not plus] then "Power".
You may get "OVP" "OCP" "V STOP" etc displayed on the screen.
Just report the result to me through Fixya. Ok.
