Standby light blinks 7 times on my kv30hs420 is it worth the repair

TV will not come on It tries to start then shuts down. The light blinks 7 times and pauses then continues the pattern. I turned off the power strip overnight but now continues in the same way. The tv is at least ten years old.

    I think its time to say goodbye to that "dinosaur!"

    Had the same TV. Tried to get it repaired. Nobody works on them. If you do find someone, it will cost you and you'll probably have to cart the heavy SOB to them. I was lucky to find someone on Craigslist who wanted it for parts. Good Luck!

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 stage 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, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. Viewing it in "Mosaic" will make surf easy.

SOURCE: tv repair

Undoutably the SMPSU (Switched Mode Power Supply) is faulty.. This will be a shop job... ensure you get a firm "Quote" and explanation B4 allowing it to be fixed.

SOURCE: SONY WEGA KV-36HS420 will not come on

The blinking is an indication that the set detected a problem. The code usually indicates a bad regulator circuit. If yu can solder, you can probably fix this your self. Please let me know if you wish to attempt the repair. If not, expect a parts cost in the $25-$40 range plus the local labor rate for the repair.

Will only turn on for about 3 second with no picture and then turns off. Standby light blinks 6 times

For the KV30HS420, 6 blinks, pause, 6 blinks, etc. means "LOW +B OCP/OVP (overcurrent/overvoltage)" and the probable cause locations listed are as follows:

1. +5 line is overloaded (A, B, M boards)
2. +5 line is shorted (A, B, M boards)
3. IC504 is faulty (A board)


hope this helps John

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

TV Turns self off- 4 blinks on standby light

Yes, the blinks are error codes. I would not bother trying to figure out what they mean, I can tell you right now. Expensive repair. Average repair costs are 1/4 to 1/2 of the TV's current worth. Most likely a bad transistor. The average expected life span of a TV set is 3-5 years. After that, stuff starts wearing out fast. Time to move on.

Sony KV30hs420 0 Stanby Light Timer Blinks 3 times and powers TV off

Led blinking Three times means B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit, check T603 and R672. If you have electronic knowledge you may be able to fix it. Let me know if I could help you further.
Hope this helps.
