SOURCE: 6 red light blinks-possible thermal fuse prob.

You need the location of the part that's stamped on the board near where it was soldered in. And you need a soldering tool to resolder the new part in and cut the excess wire with cutters so you're not to short out the circuit.

SOURCE: Sony BRAVIA KDL-46V3000 Television goes black

Hello,

This issue is related to a power problem in as much as the TV turns off on it's own. I think the TV has developed a power problem.

The problem is consistent with overheating on the power supply board of the TV.

The power supply board of the TV has few capacitors and IC. If any of these IC's gets short or become weak, it can cause the TV to turn off on it's own.

When current passes from electric outlet to the power supply board of TV. The current also goes to the weak/faulty part, then the current stops or slow and the board overheats and TV shuts off on it's own.

This problem may have occurred as a result of irregular power supply, or excess power supply or power surge.

This is a common problem faced by many other users too. To solve this issue, check the power supply board and read it with a meter and continuity tester, in order to detect the faulty part and replace the faulty part on the board which is short due to which power supply board.

Sony specifically uses GM1 Board. In other words, Sony power supply board is called "GM1 board"

It's a bit technical job but yes its not at all a costly repair to do or get it done by the technician.

You can buy this part at any Fry's or Radioshack store or you can order them online at vendors like "mcmelectronics.com"(look for electrolytic capacitors). After replacing these capacitor (capacitors) most likely the normal operation will be restored. Or you can buy a refurbished complete GM1 power board from shopjimmy.com to save you some stress.

If this task is too technical for you, you can call a family or friend who has the ability to assist you (two heads are better than one).

Sony bravia kdl55hx729 3d led tv turns on 3 seconds shows picture than four red flashes

Hello,
the error light sequence that you are seeing is indicating a "backlight error". Most likely you have a bad inverter board -the board that powers up the back-lights behind the display panel. They might be available via ebay if you are a DIYer, or you need to call for sony service.
Good Luck!

When turning on tv. screen will display Bravia image & then go blank. red light flashes SIX times

Power off the television. Wait a few minutes, then power it back on. If this does not correct the issue leave the power on, point your remote control towards the Sony television and hold the down arrow button. While holding the down arrow button press the "Power" button. Release the down arrow button and the Sony TVicon1.png will reset itself to factory settings. Once the television performs a scan on itself your problem should be gone.
Good Luck Ed Pinero
