Sony Bravia TV blinking red light, Easy Fix, No parts required

[@imaddock]

Followed your instructions. Couldn't get the back off our 48" Bravia (now 10 yes old) but managed to get to the part concerned. Cut wires 11 and 12. Working again. Brilliant stuff. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍🏼

Great to hear

How do u know which is the 11th and 12th wire is thanks and in my Sony I cannot see this board I have a 65 inch do I look for something with 12 wires thanks

Love the vids! Challenge: I have a 2012 Bravia KDL-46BX450 and sensor only has 10 cords. Do you suggest I start from the far right and start disconnecting? When I click the power button, the Sony logo comes on then the screen goes black and stays that way. Any suggestion before I recycle my favorite TV would be great!

[@nathaninkpen621]

Thanks for this fixed our old bravia kdl. Hardest part of the whole thing for me was getting the back of the tv. After that easy had to watch your vid a couple of times to select the right wires. But once I saw that it was the ones at the opposite end to the only white wire, simple.

[@Sang-KTVHN]

Please, can you tell me the serial number of the white wire and the wire to be cut? I am understanding that the white wire is the number 2 wire and the wire to be cut is the number 11, right? Thanks.

[@fishballrox]

I also have the same issue buy on a different model, so it's either swapped the LED driver board or just cut the wire and ground it?

[@Samuel-tx5gg]

Having issues with four blinking lights. Any recommendations?

[@bertgeneray5954]

Same here. 4 blinks, no power to view TV.

Anyone know how to fix two blinks on a 2011 Bravia KDL-40EX724? I googled it and it they say it's some over current protection unit that's gone into standby mode.

[@yanncezard6310]

Thank you so much, you just gave my 10 years old TV some more time ! Worked like a charm.

[@alwaysafix]

Great news!

[@robertboyd321]

If you were like me & couldn't even get your TV to boot far enough to do a hard reset, your in trouble. You see, I turned the Back-light (which was failing) from 5 to 7 and the TV instantly shut down & went into an endless boot loop. Well, just get yourself the brightest LED torch you can find & shine it straight into that auto light sensor on the front of the TV at boot up. This sucks the TV into thinking that it is as bright as the sun in your lounge room and it turns down the back-light to 5 automatically at boot up. Once that happens your TV will start & you can then quickly do a hard reset and once that is done go to options & turn the back light down to 4 or leave it set at 5 but no higher. Then turn the brightness up to max or near max & you won't even be able to tell the difference. You TV will work properly for a few months more, but U better start saving for a new one because the back light (or the sensor) is already past its use-by date & it won't last forever.

[@Sang-KTVHN]

good ideal, i'll try it, thanks

[@dellareddick409]

I just LOVE your accent!

[@alwaysafix]

Thankyou

[@skunkmonk76]

This fixed my Sony KDL-55HX800 (7 blinks) by removing wires 11 and 12 from the plug. Almost ordered a new power board. Glad I didn't. So far so good.

[@captaincrazy2792]

Thanks for uploading video, I have fixed my tv .

[@alwaysafix]

You are very welcome, Happy holidays

[@Sang-KTVHN]

I had to unplug the whole jack instead of just cutting some wires, then you could turn on the TV using the power button on the back of the TV, and use an app to control the TV instead of the remote. Note that if hanging on the wall, the vents must be left open on the back of the TV, it is best to put it on the table

[@WiCkEd_HeAd]

This fix worked for me. Thanks! Keep up with the good work

Took out the back cover to fix volume problem. Fixed the back cover but now I can not plug HDMI cable as the cover has not gone down completely. The cover doesn’t allow the plug to be fixed. All cover bolts are tight. Can you help?

[@MrCavernz]

Brilliant yes it worked . Thank you I had to butcher the back panel to get to the 11th 12th wire but a little tape should make it nearly as good as new😅.

Hello I have a Bravia Sony 2018 it's 65 inch and it keeps turning off and on on its own. I can't do a hard reset because it turns off. I pull wire 11& 12 just in case it was the sensor because I believe it does have to do with power saver. Is there another one I can try to pull ? At this point we are ready to trash it, but, of I can fix it that would be awesome!

Try disconnecting the backlight error return cabke between motherboard and power supply. 4th wire front wire down from top of block connector on power supply. Ground the free end from the motherboard. 4 lights I think is backlight error code. That or power supply failure.
