Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. Blinking Red Standby light indicates a issue with the internal circuitry of the TV, as you have not mentioned the no. of blinks so please check this:
- Unit is dead, No blinks - Problem in the standby power section. Might check fuse, R607, Q601, IC601, R612 and VDR601 (should show open).
- Continuous blink once a second, no pausing - No reply from the jungle IC301 (data bus is busy, shorted to ground, or held high), IK video path is defective.
- One blink - not used for the self-diagnosis
- Two blinks - B+ over current protection (OCP), unit go to the standby mode then display the 2 blink fault. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits.
- Three blinks - B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit go to the standby mode then display the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit, check T603 and R672.
- Four blinks - No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted. Check IC1509, Q1505
- Five 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.
- Six blinks - No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately. Check C515 & 516 and the jungle IC, IC206.
- Seven blinks - High voltage shutdown. The high voltage has exceeded 33k and the unit goes immediately into safety shutdown. Check power supply regulation and horizontal circuits.
- Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code. Check IC406 audio amp, PS401, and 402. On some projection models of Sony TV sets, this code means that T8005 (fly-back transformer), or the associative components in the high voltage circuits are defective on the D board.
- Nine blinks - Replace D 6116 and D 6301 on the "G" board, do not Resolder as this will fix the problem temporary. Or Panel Module Error or Thermal Error. If it is intermittent 9 blinks, meaning sometimes the TV comes on and other times you get flashing, then change the switching regulator on the "G" board or check connections. Make sure the regulator is -12 or -13 (negative).
- Ten blinks - Check Q8014 and Q8013 for shorts, leakage, or bad solder connections on the " D" board. If the transistors are bad, check R8051 and IC8005, also on the "D" board.
Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.
Thanks

Rylee Smith:
The red light below the writing "stand by timer" constantly blink red. I was watching TV holding my remote control and the TV just went out and the "Stand by timer" red light started to blink and it's continuous. I have no TV, no Sound, nothing?? This never happened before. It I take my remote and hit "Select" the red light goes out but comes back on and starts blinking again almost immediately.
Is it the TV that's broken or is there something I can do to get it going again? If it's the TV I'll throw it away tomorrow?
Thanks Rylee

Rylee: SO I guess what you're telling me is the TV is the problem and needs a repairman right?
The red light blinks continually and I can't get the TV to work again.
So, just tell me if it's the TV that's broken or if there is something I can do to repair it myself?
Thanks

Well,it's good to know it's the TV that's gone. I have another TV in storage and I'll install that one tomorrow and discard the SONY. It was a good set, too bad this had to happen, but I'm not paying no $300.00 to have it fixed. I'll do without TV for that price. Thanks Rylee for your help.

PS: I understand I'll get charged a one time fee of $12.99 on my credit card and no further charges will be charged, correct?
Thanks. [email protected]
