EL_88;..... By 6 blinks i was refering to the diagonistic LED light below the screen. Well , sir , so was I... Due to the fact you get a picture even tho it lasts for only a few seconds pretty much rules out the "6" blink code... OR these codes do not apply to your TV , which is unlikely... Lets clear the codes & start fresh.... Do this with the TV off....Use original Sony remote... Where you see this ">>" thats my edit to the original method.... That does NOT change proceedure... ""IMPORTANT: After you repair the unit, you MUST clear the values on this diagnostic screen. These codes do not reset themselves after the fault is corrected, so if you don't clear them, you'll be seeing "old" fault codes the next time you enter this screen. Clearing is done by going into the service mode (display, channel, 5, volume plus, then power ). >> EDIT:..TV will then turn on..Do this as soon as you see red led light up.. >>>.Press 8 and Enter, which returns everything to the factory preset condition."" Then turn TV off...Turn TV back on & re-count blinks.... As you can see , even tho you (or someone else) may have made repairs , you may be looking at "old" fault codes... Please post the blink code you get after you do the above.... Thanks.... PS:..EL_88;..... This below is FYI & you may want to try this 1st... I don't think the screen will stay on long enough to get any info from it , tho it's worth a try... IF you see more than 1 item listed & it stays on , try to write them down & post the info... When you post , answer this;...Did it stay on long enough to get info & was there more than 1 item listed ??? Try this 1st; Your call.... You can also bring up these fault codes on-screen to see a list of the problem numbers with the abbreviation of the problem and the number of times this problem has occurred. This is slightly different than entering the service mode. To see the diagnostic screen, press the following buttons: Display, Channel, 5, volume Minus, ( not plus ) then Power. This brings up a screen with a list of the problems and number of times they have occurred. Each of the problems named, are abbreviated as, "OCP", "OVP", "V STOP", ETC. We have repeated them in parentheses in the text for the "Blinks" described above so you can correlate between the diagnostic screen and the blink codes.. Turn TV off at the set....(Front panel)... Then clear old codes.... Later..Ron.M....... Veteran & Retired TV technician
