My Sony KF60XBR800 keeps shutting off while also triggering the surge prootector. What is causing this and is it do it yourself fixable?

Hi the link below is Sony esupport and you should find your answer there,
. The 1st solution I copy and pasted here..

1. If there has been an electrical surge or power outage, then the internal surge protection inside the home audio device may have been triggered to protect the device from the surge. This is normal. To reset the internal surge protection circuit unplug the AC power cord from the wall for at least 30 minutes.

Here's the link for more solutions....

The self-diagnostic function of the projection television will cause the STANDBY light to blink or flash when the television detects an issue. The number of times the STANDBY light flashes corresponds to a specific issue, some of which you may be able to resolve without the need for service.

• If the STANDBY light flashes three times in sequence, the lamp cover is not securely attached. Reattach the lamp cover to resolve this issue.
• If the STANDBY light flashes four times in sequence, the television may be overheating. To resolve this issue, ensure that the back of the television is well ventilated.

NOTE: If the television will not turn on immediately after being turned off, wait for the fan to finish its cycle, then attempt to turn it on again. This is part of the cooling process of some projection televisions and is normal operation.
If the flash sequence is not listed above, or the light continues to flash after troubleshooting the indicated issue, follow the steps below to perform a power reset on the television:

1. Turn off the television. IMPORTANT: For a projection television that uses an internal lamp, wait 5 minutes after turning off the television to allow the lamp to cool before continuing with the following steps.
   
2. Unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Let the television remain without power for 60 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back into the electrical outlet. NOTE: If the television 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.
   
5. Turn on the television.

If the issue is still unresolved after following all of the troubleshooting steps, service may be required. Please note the number of times the STANDBY light flashes and relay that information to the service center.

Good day!!!

6 blinks its the clear indication that you have bad power supply board..


That problem is usually cause of faulty capacitors on the power supply board..

Just follow this instruction to fix your TV..

1. Open the back cover of your TV.
2. Look at the power supply board..Its normally connected to the power cord..
3. After that,,try to look at the actual image of capacitors if it is bulged on the top so that you can easily determine the bad capacitors..
4. After that,,try to replaced the bad capacitors using soldering iron and soldering lead..replaced the capacitors only with the same type ratings and value..
5. Some of the capacitors not bulged so its better if have a capacitance meter

Replaced the projection lamp again.Sony projection lamp more expensive,but last longer too.Genaric projection lamp brand last about 1 1/2 max.U hear clickinng sound too,when LED light flashes?Mean the Ballast board also dead,require changing too.The Ballast board help to ignite the projection lamp.

thanks for asking .well sony recommends customers to take their faulty items to authorised sony service centers.lamp replacement is technical and beyond customer ability to fix. so please find a sony srevice center near you take there for repairs where it will be fixed.

Lamp in your TV is almost dead. It should be replaced regularly every couple of years (depend on usage). Replace the lamp and everything should be OK.

This is known as the Yellow Light of Death. It's very much like the problem with the 360 known as the Red Ring of Death. The problem is caused my excessive heat buildup inside. Most likely your system is clogged with dust. This acts like a blanket and keeps all of your heat inside, eventually melting connections on your motherboard. The good news is that it is fixable. I do not recommend attempting the repair yourself though. Without having done it before you are very likely to permanently damage the console. I have done several of these repairs myself and would be willing to do yours as well if you'd like. Contact me at [email protected] for info.
