Okay, I have a sony kp51ws520 and it gives me nine blinks, I was above and saw what it might be, okay, now what? I bought this thing from a
consumer depot and they just laugh at me. What exactly is this part and where can I get it? I can't afford eight hundred dollars to tix it. I
just paid six for it.

First off I just want to comment that this is an amazingly informative thread. That being said I'm hoping someone might be able to shed
some light on my 53XBR300.
I recently finished remodeling and tried turnning the box on after sitting dormant for probably 9 mo. or a year. I had it connected to a PS3
via Vido 5 and was having some video flicker which I attributed to the good old sync issues that I've had since I bought it. However instead of
just between scene transitions it started happening across all inputs and giving me the 5 (AKB) blinks.
The screen is on for a coule of seconds, and off for a few. When it's on the picture is perfect, if I use the auto-focus button it stays on for the
entire process and works fine but after it completes the box goes back to on again, off again.
Not exactly sure what is meant by 'turning up screen slightly.' Is this done via the service menu or physical adjustment? If it turns out it's
possible failure I reckon I'm handy enough with a meter to investigate if I had access to the service manual. <wink Larry>
Thanks,

Sony KP-53HS10 continuously flashing light. What is the general verdict for:
"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."
If the cost for repairs in this direction is over a fer hundred dollars, I will try to fix it myself. I would scapt the set if I couldn't, so I have
nothing to loose.
Larry, do you happen to have a service manual for this set that you would be willing to send me? Thanks!

jacktumprime, That part is called the flyback transformer and yes it is probably the problem. I have seen this part shoot out flames may
many times. Good Luck with this repair and just be careful, and let us know how you make out with this repair.

fleance, Thank you for those kind words. You problem is that one or more of the picture tubes are probably going bad. You might be able to
turn up the screen or turn them down, depending on what is going bad in the tube. The screen controls are located in the front behind the
speaker grill and then there is another small wooden cover you have to remove several screws to get to. There are going to be six controls on
a small square. Three of these will say focus, and three of them will say screen. It is the screen controls you might want to try and adjust.
One is for the red, one is for the green and one is for the blue. Be fore you try and adjust these controls you will want to put on a black &
white picture like from a TV show or a DVD. The idea thing is a test DVD. You then want to adjust these controls down (counterclock wise
just a tad, but balance them out for the best possible black and white picture. If it does not work try the controls the other way. If this does
not help you, you will need to have the set serviced by a Sony repair depot. One very important thing is DO NOT TOUCH anything else inside
this TV set while it is one if you do not know what it does. Also if you get the picture to stop flashing, you may want to take off the screen and
while looking into each tube lens, rock the focus controls back and forth till you get the best focus on each tube. And while your in there
lightly wipe off the mirrors and the lenses but be careful not to scratch them. Good Luck with this TV set and let us know how you make out.

Grin__and_tonic, I mailed you a copy of the service manual you requested. I hope you can get this set going. You could have dries up
capacitors or a video drive problem on the video board. Good Luck with this repair and let us know how you made out with this repair.
