Your unit has DC Offset(a damaged amplifier) which is why it keeps shutting down. If you are interested in repairing your Sony, please visit my website at audioserviceclinic.com. Thank you.

SOURCE: No TV audio coming from Sony DAV-HDX500.

If you are trying to make your TV audio come out your Sony system, you didn't say what the input to your TV was from (ex;Cable TV,Sat TV).

Sometimes it is easier to take the external (cable or Sat) out puts and feed the video into the TV but the red white into the AMP (TV input)then select TV on your AMP to hear TV.

Also some tv's need to make a speaker choice! go to Set up and change the speaker set up for the TV, you may have to tell the TV no speakers to create out put to Amp from the REd White TV out put.

SOURCE: Blinking standby light system will not turn on

I was having a similar problem and determined that there was a short in the speaker leads for the center channel speaker. The leads to the speaker were touching, after being moved, slightly while housecleaning. Once short was eliminated, unit powered on and worked with no problem.

SOURCE: Sony Dav-C770 blinking standby light product will not function

I had the same problem, red blinking light after owning for several years. I decided to replace the capacitor at C914 to see if it would work, and it did. Apparently that capacitor is prone to failure. Since this seems to be a common problem, I created a web page detailing the repair. Hope it is helpful. Repair cost $1.39 + tax.

Screen went black. Shut t.v. off and tried to turn it back on. Power comes on, front light is green, and in about 3 seconds the t.v. shuts off, green light goes off. Was playing dvd at the time. Shut off...

MOST OF THESE SETS HAVE A SELF DIAGNOSTIC:

UNPLUG TV AND THEN PLUG BACK IN---TURN ON---GREEN POWER LIGHT COMES ONFOR A MOMENT AND GOES OFF.

PRESS AND HOLD "device" and "menu"buttons on front of tv for at least 5 seconds and then release both together.


Watch for power light to blink in a sequence:

1 blink-then 2 blinks-------no error

2 blink-then 1 blink-------X-ray protection

2 blink-then 2 blink-------SHORT PROTECTION*******

2 blink-then 3 blink---------deflection circuit problem

2 blink-then 4 blink---------vertical circuit problem


******2, then 2 is most common---usually means one of the fuses that protectthe Convergence IC or IC's is blown---set will detect no voltage to convergenceIC and shut down.


SET WILL REPEAT BLINK ERROR CODE UP TO 5 TIMES ANDTHEN TO GET IT TO REPEAT MORE YOUHAVE TO UNPLUG SET AND TRY TO TURN ON AGAIN.


IF IT IS 2 AND THEN 2---USUALLY
CONVERGENCE CIRCUIT PROBLEM

let me know what you find--hope that you find 2 blinks, a pause and twoblinks--this is the most common and easiest to fix. SD TECH

Computer will not start up only sometimes after it sits for days but after shut dowm wont start up again

Try performing a hard reset on the laptop by removing the battery, unplugging the Power Adapter and disconnecting external devices connected to the laptop. Once everything is removed/disconnected, press and hold the power button for around 15 seconds. Put everything back then power the PC on. The reason this issue happens is because the computer doesn't shut down properly and because of this charges get left on the laptop's motherboard, holding power button down with nothing connected to the PC drains these charges. If still the same issue exists, try updating Windows, there might be updates that doesn't install completely. Update drivers as well and run a system scan with your security software.

Hope this help. Goodluck!

I have tried to turn my television on and the status light blinks for about a minute, you can hear the TV try to start up and then the whole system shuts down without anything actually powering up. Also...

Unplug the tv for about a minute - plug it in and press the reset button on the front of the tv - hold it until the light blinks. The set should come on in a minute of two - if not try the same routine again.

I unplug my pc and put it back after a few hrs then plug it back but there was only a blinking green light it does not turn on or off i tried everything like plug off and plug it on still the same i tried...

check the back of the power supply and make sure the voltage selector is set properly. try to switch it back and forth to the correct voltage. Swap the power cord with the monitor. Switch it on again. If the blinking green still comes up, press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds and see how it goes. If this does not work, disconnect all removable items and cables inside the system including power connection and connect them all and test the system again. Hope this helps
