Sony KD-60X690E 6 blink error

[blake.s]

I have a Sony KD-60X690E tv that has issues in going to a 6 blink red status light error. The tv will sometimes function and work for a couple of days to a week and then will go into the 6 blink error. Kinda stumped on what the issue could be.

Here are pictures of the tv.

This may be backlight error. Turn the backlights down as much as possible and see if there is a change. Backlight not brightness or contrast,

Also turn off any ambient light sensor feature that might increase the backlight level in a bright room.

So turning down to 50% should fix the issue? Or should i go ahead and replace the backlights?

It is not a fix, it is to find out the LED's are failing when driven at high current or not, so if it will stay on longer when the backlights level is turned down, LEDs will run cooler, and you can live with that then use it like that until the backlight fail completely, then you will have to take the LCD panel apart ti get to the LED strips and replace them.

Well another odd thing when it does want to work is that the colors are off/ discolored.

Looks like that model uses the LEDs that turn blue as well. Time for a full replacement. https://techhometravel.com/lg-49uj65...e-purple-tint/

So it looks like it was a led(s) issue. Don't forget to turn down the backlight as low as you can to extend the life of the new led strips.
