feff1122, this set probably has a bad main fuse right now, but I highly doubt that is the only problem. That would be fuse # F6001, on the "G"
board. If that fuse is not bad, then you are going to have a blow input choke or line transformer that blew open, or the possibility of an open
printed circuit foil trace. If you see the fuse blown, replace it with a 100 watt light bulb. Simply attach two wires on the light bulb and attach
the ends on the fuse terminals. Plug in the set and turn it on. If the bulb pulses on and off, or comes on bright, there is a short in this TV set
and you will need to find the short with a meter and a schematic or replace the "G" board. There is also a possiblity that there are problems
elsewhere in this set. A power surge is a strange thing that causes all sorts of strange problems with electronics sometimes. If you would like
to save 25 bucks or so, leave an e-mail here and I will send you a copt of this service manual. You will need to go to pando.com and download
the free software so you can open this manual as it is a large file and thats the only way I can send it. Good Luck with this repair, and let us
know what you find with this TV set.

Larry,
Thanks for the prompt response. I'm going test the fuse tonight, and hopefully that is the only problem. my email is feff1122@hotmail.com.
Very much appreciate the help.

Larry I have a Sony KP51WS500 television. Here is the problem the TV will not come on. The TV will turn itself off after 10 or 15 seconds.
The red standby light blinks 8 times , then off, then repeats the pattern.
The extened warranty expired 6.5 months ago. The repair people want about $150 to just come to my house, not to mention the labor and
parts charges associated with any repair. I have the feeling that they are posed to stick me with a $500 repair build with a 30-day guarantee.
Can you share any insight as to what the flashing code may mean and what steps should I take other than call a repair person?
---Thanks

With reference to my kp-46WT500.
Fuse was indeed blown. Tested the 100watt light bulb, and test came back negative for a short (light did not come on), so I replaced the the
fuse. TV came back on and is working again.
One more quick question. I replaced the fuse with a 6.3a, 250v slow burn fuse from Radio Shack. The original fuse was a Buss GMC (slow
burn) 6.3, 125v fuse. I shouldn't have any problem with the additional voltage rating on the replacement fuse, should I? From what I
understand, you can go up in rating without a problem, but going down may cause issues in some circumstances.
Thanks for your help on this.

feff1122, that is great that you have it working again. Although it is extremly rare that a surge will only blow a fuse, there are times when you
get lucky, and yes you did get lucky! Glod to have helped asd a repairman would have charged you at least 100 or so bucks to come out and
fix this, if indeed they would have replaced the fuse in the house. I have seen a few techs get up to 400 or so bucks for a job like this. The
voltage on the fuse really will not make a big differance, as it is the slow blow and the amps are correct, so you should be good.

Larry,
Great advice website. My problem is with my 5 year old 36HS500. When turned on no picture or sound, 6 blinks on the standby light. I don't
know electronics so I am incapable of repairing myself. I am looking for a "ballpark" figure on a repair bill if I take it in to a local Sony repair
shop. Will it be more than the set is worth?
Thanks for your expertise.

Adriana said: I have a Sony Model #KV-32FS320 FD Trinitron Wega and I am getting 4blinks. Does this mean that the switching regulator
has gone south? If so what is the average cost to have this replaced? The set will from time to time turn back on, but then once it is turned
on, it's back to the self timer blinking its 4 blinks. I have even unplugged the set for a period of time in hopes that it was just an error caused
by inadvertently hitting the wrong button(s) on the remote, (supposedly according to the owner's manual unplugging the set will reset some
of the codes) but to no avail. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

adriana: where i find all about 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 Cboard,
also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.

Thanks for quoting me directly.

Larry looks like your the man. After reading your post for the last 2 hours i think i learned a lot from you(THANKS). But i want to make sure
im on the right track. What i got is a sony KV32FS320 that blinks 9 times. From what i got from here is that i need to replace the d611 and
630 on the G board. But im not sure i have a steady hand to soder, could i replace the G board instead? it would cost more but it would be the
safest way. As i know that there is a lot of juice in there. Could you give me some pointers as to how this would be done? And where i might
find it on the in side, and even a new onewith part # that would be cool. i did not open it yet but im going to start soon. thanks for any and all
the help in this forum.
