    Sony KD-60X690E 6 Blinks, no image

    I just got this today and it has the infamous 6 blink code. I've read it's quite possibly bad backlights, and I intend to check them soon. However, I was just curious if the Sony logo should it's shouldn't be appearing briefly between powering on and the light starts flashing. I've read at least one other person had the logo flash quickly, but mine does not show anything at all, not even a flicker. The green light comes on and after about 5 seconds the red light flashes. So I'd expect in this 5 seconds to see the logo. This leads me to believe it could be a power supply issue.

    I will be testing the LEDs probably tomorrow night nonetheless.

    It’s most likely back lights as you mentioned since that’s Sonys code for backlight failure.
    You can ground the wire named backlight err to the chassis and that should bypass the shutdown so you can verify the tv works and confirm it’s the backlights.

      Thanks for the informative reply! I will try this! I'm guessing that wire will be on the connector to the main board?

        not a good idea to shorting the BL-.error to chassis.... as it will go high if there are issue at BL... just measure it if it goes high and be sure what kind of BL you have edge or direct

          What will happen... Damage to the power supply?

            of course it will toast it..LOL
            the correct way the wire which it go from the PSU socket to MB of BL _err slide it out from the socket at PSU and connect to GND,, so it should

              Plugged my tester in to the LEDs and the backlights light up, but they're blue.. So definitely bad backlights.

                Blue definitely means bad backlights but that doesn't mean it's your code. I have this exact TV and it has blue lights and doesn't throw any code.

                It still probably is the backlights but just saying blue won't throw the code probably. I know many Sony's that are blue no code

                  Several Reddit users were having the 6 blink code and it went away after replacing the backlights. Some even swapped out the power and main boards prior.

                  What's odd though is that I couldn't see the Sony logo or anything else with with a flashlight when the LEDs were plugged into the power supply. What I did in the video is unplug it from the power supply and stick the tester probes into the plug and taped them in place, then I plugged the the tv in and turned it on. That's when I was able to get the logo.. But it keeps rebooting every few seconds. I don't think the red light was flashing though during all of this. I already tore it down last night, or else I would have repeated this setup to confirm whether or not it was flashing... Can't see the light on my video. I already ordered the backlights, should come early to mid next week.

                      They just need the quantum dot filters to make them white again. lol

                              Sony TV model KD-65XE7005 - only Sony logo for 3 seconds
                              by mauda
                              I'm currently working on repairing a malfunctioning Sony TV model KD-65XE7005 with the mainboard 1-981-926-21. I would appreciate your assistance with this issue.

                              Upon powering on the TV, the Sony logo appears for approximately 3 seconds, after which the backlight remains lit, the screen remains black, and nothing else happens. The TV consumes around 55W initially and then drops to 35W. The indicator LED remains solid white. It doesn't respond to the remote control. When attempting to update the TV using a USB dongle, the dongle briefly flashes but nothing else happens.

                              Hi.
                              Power is ok
                              Tv turns on by it self when you turn IT off with button or pług.it shows sony logo the android logo but with like 1 frame every 10 sec. Music starts after like 1 min. After some time logo will Just hang. But i can turn volume up and down on a pilote but its very slow as well.

                              Should i force update? If so how?

                              I did reset.

                              Mainboard Looks pristine.

                              Very wierd.

                              HI guys

                              I got here a Sony 65X950G - I tried to find any repairs guides for this model but not many online

                              here is the issue
                              I have Sony and android logo. but then 4 led red flash lights front of the tv

                              I have 3.3v ref. 12v reg then T con 12v when I press the power on button
                              but then I get black screen and 4 red flash light at the front LED
                              but I get 3 led flash on the LED driver board.

                              I check that few X900F or C YouTube repairs, seems that if you have 4 led red flash it could be due of LED black light error
                              so I tried...

                              by jchon
                              Hi I'm new to trying to repair TVs, but I saw a broken OLED offered for a reasonable price and thought I'd try my hand at it.

                              I found the service manual, which was critical to know where to probe.
                              https://www.manualslib.com/manual/20...1e-Series.html

                              With it I was able to determine that my DKA board was bad, when P_ON#1/2 gets enabled REG_12 on the DKA board collapses. I'm assuming one of the downstream regulators has a short, but I couldn't work out which rail/component and replaced the DKA board entirely.

                              Unfortunately the 5-blinks...

                              Sony XBR-65X850D 2 Red Blinks
                              by Nicktronic
                              Hi all,

                              I have the subject TV and it will work normally sometimes but suddenly go black and give the 2 red blinks blink code. When this happens, I check the power supply board voltages and all I have is the Standby 3.3V and BL_ERR 2.2V. When it's working normally, all power supply board voltages look normal and stable. I've checked the backlights with a tester and they all test good. I've also read that the 2 red blinks is a faulty power supply board, so could it be throwing up an erroneous BL_ERR?

                              Any Sony experts out there that can help??...
