Blinking red light 5 times Sony Bravia 55" tv

"@bo1 the 5 blink error code can have quite a few different causes. Ranging from the T-con board to the panel and few things in between. If you have the original TV remote than try to see if this will work on your set:

1. In standby mode, press the following buttons on the Sony remote:

DISPLAY....5....VOL(-)....TV POWER

2. On the left side are the blink codes. On the right hand side is the error count.

3. Under 005, you'll see three listings... TCON, HFR, and P-ID (panel).

4. Let us know what errors your set shows.

If that does not work on your set, then you will have to remove the back of your TV and check the boards. Try to rule out/in the T-con board as faulty. Disconnect the LVDS cable to the T-CON board, the cable between the Main board and the T-CON board, and see if the error code will change. Let us know what the result is."

"Just fixed my non-responsive (5 blink code) Bravia (2018? model).

The (possible) fix: The TV was completely unplugged for ~48 hours (not sure this was necessary.) Press/hold both ""power"" and Volume ""+"" buttons while plugging it in. Continue holding both buttons (~5 seconds) until the screen comes back to life.

-Not sure if this was a fluke but certainly worth a shot before you crack the case or just bin the TV. I read about forced restart using the factory remote Volume up and TV power button. This resulted in a new red/green indicator light code. (But my remote is a OEM replacement not the one that came with the TV.) As a last ditch effort before opening the case I thought I'd just try using the TV buttons (as described above) and eureka!"

"SOLVED I had the same problem of 5 blinking lights and when powered on it showed a white screen.

When I opened the back to check. It was very very dusty. So I vacuumed the PCB and all other connectors. Some places were still very dusty so took a soft toothbrush and cleaned the PCB near the tcon and other chips.

I believe my problem would have been dust particles causing some kind of conduction at high humidity and causing cross talk short circuit between the connectors. I live in Mumbai and it happened during rainy season.

Today is day 5 and no issues. TV is working perfectly."

Before do anything else take the tv and heat the back side with dryer. Winter time issue. Due to cold environment. Works for me.

"I believe all of similar issue with 3 Blink or 5 Blink is for the model Sony Bravia KDL-43W800D. I have used three TVs gradually in my room - last one is obviously KDL-43W800D Model. I called SONY technician to fix and they once changed Board (1.3 yrs), repeated issues came in another 6 months. They asked for money again. Now, 5 blink issue came in (2.7yrs) and I got this fixed by local technician, he done some repair ( might be cleaning even) and it started working. I started facing same issue during Lockdown. I got my old TV (Sony 32 inch) installed on table - you would not believe, this was working fine. While it was stored in dusty room and humid roof top room. I was not connecting issue that this issue is because of dust or moistures.

Sony should accept their faulty manufacturing with this model. I bought this Sony Bravia KDL-43W800D in Nov 2016 and just after warranty expired, TV is reaching to technician for paid maintenance.

I bought sony on the basis of prior experience of my old TV, but seriously no one knows which model is worthy to have it."
