I have a sony wega lcd tv (bought 12/2005). The picture and sound goes off and it blinks 5 times and then pauses and blinks another 5 times. If I shut the tv off and wait a while, it works fine for th

in this model error 5( 5 blinks then 5 blinks) is indicating AKB, TOO LOW or ABSENT beam current. Meaning the tube has gone bad. You will need to replace the tube. I am sorry for the bad news.

helloFive 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.

Please intimate exact model of Sony TV and how many times LED blinks as there would be 3 second pause between blinks so count blinks and let me know. This LED blink is an error code that will tell me problem section in TV.
Thanks.

this specific type of TVs flash their standby light if the onboard testing system sniffed out a problem

so, as if your TV is trying to tell you "i have a problem and i need to be serviced"

i hope it goes well for you
:D

How many times red light blinks when TV lost picture? There would be interval of 3 seconds in red light blinks so count pause to pause and let me know.

Please count light flashing again. Light flash time is "0.3 Sec" and there would be pause (light Off time) for "3 Sec". Start counting after pause to next pause.

Buy another TV.

The 4 blink fault code means one of the fans is faulty or the H4 module in the TV.
