Rubi Strycker
Hi thanks for that ive been on the phone to sony and guess what they will exchange my tv only two problems with that is mine is a 3d tv and they have stopped doing 3d and also its not a brand new replacement will see what thay say tomorrow
@Anonymous, unfortunately, I am unable to do so as the one cable we are using for wireless HDMI relaying was put in when my house was being redone and I am unable to wire another cable to the router. Any other solutions?
@nosh118 still, to see if that moves things, for testing purpose only I'd try to connect the television via ethernet (temporarely using the cable from another device). If that connects you are a step forward. If disconnecting the cable the Ethernet connection goes away then you should be all set.
Another thing you may try is to boot in safe mode and see if that helps moving things around. Otherwise do yourself a favor and restore to factory settings. I know it's a pain, but without an ethernet cable connected it should never show the ethernet connection. Something must have gone nut in the OS. And other things might be messed up as well.
When I had similer problems I finally cured it by switching trhe TV off at the plug and leaving it overnight. I rebooted the router before switching it back on. After that it's been stable. I've no idea why unless leaving it off for a ling time made the router foreget it. I connect using two ethernet over mains devices having given up with the wifi. You don't need the superfast ones, there's some for around 35.00 at Maplins (TP Link).
On my router you can log on and see what devices are connected or at least the router thinks are connected, it might be worth having a look, mine often said the TV was connected when it wouldn't work. The other thing that occasionally would kick the TV into life was to open the Browser app, obviously it should fail but often it didn't and then everything else started working.
Unfortunately you have not described the problem you are having - but in general giving the TV a fixed ip address wouldnt solve the problem. However sometimes setting a different DNS does and the give the TV a different DNS server settings, you have to set a fixed ip address
My friend said his wifi wasn't working on 50 inch sony tv I have the same tv when I checked neither was mine I've had to do a factory reset to get the tv to connect to the Internet only worried when it updates again I will have the same problem
I had this problem after not using me TV for a few weeks...I had my Xbox one plugged into hdmi 2 .Played all night with no problems.The next morning I ran into this problem here being discussed.I tried many things but what worked was me unplugging the hdmi cable.I had noticed that the TV kept a lot of residual energy while it's plugged in...Now I unplug it each time after using and ONLY plug it in now AFTER powering on my TV...
Hi Johnny. I'm debugging a kdl46w4100. Initially I replaced the power board because I was not getting standby 3.3V. Now I have 3.3V standby so I'm passed that and so now I have the 6 red flashes. I can see on the connector coming from the main logic board to the power board that the "backlight on" signal goes to 1.8v but not to 3.3. The HV lines (wrapped in double heat shrink) going to the inverter board) never go to 24v - they never do anything. My guess is that the main logic board is not properly telling the power board to send the HV to the inverter board. Ideas? Thanks!

Bravia 4k 2015 tv and with power off and disconnected. Took all the connections off the boards and reattached them it solved the problem, I think is just a bad connection sometimes due to heat, never had the problem since
The 6 red blink code on Sony is usually a fail safe on the main board for plasmas... Usually set off by power surges brown outs and dirty electricity, this is done to prevent fires and further component damage so the customer will send the unit into Sony to get its components checked. This is a unique feature for Sony plasmas as they are carrying a high amount of electricity. Google or YouTube Sony Bravia reset. You will need a compatible Sony remote to perform the reset. I have fixed 3 2012 models and one 2011 from the 6 blink code using this method and 3 of those units have been functioning great after 6 months. A lot of repair shops easily misdiagnose it as a power board issue... Guess they don't know how to use google. And there is usually nothing physically wrong with 6 blink tvs it's just Sony trying to cover their ass at the time so there was not a recall since they were losing money on production when the units came out, similar to the PS3. hope this helps you all out ifixit community. - Brandon
Brandon, My Sony 46 inch XBR has a disheartening condition. When plugged in it tries to start - by powering on and the Sony logo at the front bottom of the TV lights up. I've replaced the backlight board and the power board but no luck. Could it be the main board NOT TELLING the rest of the unit what/how to fire up?
Most of the time it is the back light. If you want these TV 's to last turn back light setting down to 0. Will look a little dark for a while till you get used to it but no problem for 8 months after I did it. I had back light fixed twice in one month. Lucky it was under warranty. Keeps the heat down. Originally had it on full blast looked very bright.
I'm getting the light also 6 flashes. I unplug and plug back in. It turns on and a far right vertical strip flickers and shuts off. I actually got it to turn on after I did the reset and moved it around. Once I tried to switch screens to go to settings the screen flickered and shutoff.
Per Sony site, unplug for 3 minutes if your T.V. picture goes out and you have blinking red lights. If still have a problem and T.V. is plugged into a power strip, then unplug for 3 minutes, then plug directly into wall. The power strip could be bad. ( )
If you can view T.V. again, and want to see error codes, do the following: Turn T.V. off. Quickly press "Display", "Channel 5", "Down Volume", then "Power". Press "Power" again if nothing came up on T.V. See error codes. Press "Power" again, then again, to return to normal T.V. ( -medical.blogspot.in/2016...) and ( )
I have same problem with my T.V., Sony kdl32xbr4. I already know I have a backlight error of some sort, since part of the screen is slightly darker. The codes verified that. I also had the 6 blinking red lights with no picture at all. Unplugging for 3 minutes did reset the picture. Error 6 was listed on my T.V. as a backlight problem. Though I do not know for sure if Error 6 is the same as the 6 blinking lights, since the blinking light happened when the picture went totally out. The backlight partially went out a few month ago with no blinking lights.
These units seem the have the same problem with the red light blinking. I had just purchased a new 75 in 800g and after just three days of watching it went out. Was watching a program, and all of sudden, tv shut down and then started blinking. I tried to reset by unplugging and plugged back in and looked like it tried to start, but then that awful clicking noise, and shut off again. I called the store where I purchased the unit and they said they would be sending me a new tv. Just an inconvenience for customers for paying a good price for a decent set and then this happens. You wonder why they would not get on board with this problem and have it done with. Most of these problems seem to arise from the main board. That happened to a Sharp 65 in I had. Still waiting for the part to replace the board. With this problem, I had no sound, but a great picture. Frustrated indeed...
yes ground what pins of the block,, the already grounded pins, this would mean bad solder joints aka reflow, or bad transistor grounds to backlight i know sony use fail safe software and if such errors happen it shuts down the mainboard ,
Hello sir. I have xbr46hx909 and when the Blu-ray is connected(netlix from the blu-ray source) the tv picture dims ( tv is watchable but visible difference) and after 5 seconds it turns off with 6 blinks! When I watch standart TV and HDMI to my BDPS5100 is disconnected the TV is OK. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I disconnected the Wi-Fi board and the unit fired back up plugged the Wi-Fi board back in and it still works . I will let you know when itvflashes 6 times again. Oh by the way I replaced the power supply board prior to unplugging the WiFi board.
Then went into an endless startup loop because the back-light is failing and the TV will not run with it set to 7. The red light at the front of the unit confirmed there is an issue with the back-light because it flashes 6 times at each boot-up. It would boot to the Sony Logo & would then switch off & start all over again endlessly. This is because the auto light sensor is telling the TV to brighten the back-light back to 7 because it is in a dark room but the back-light cant handle it so it shuts down. I could not even do a hard reset using the TV buttons because it was so far out of wack & the TV could not boot far enough to let me do it. I tried for hours doing every hack on YouTube & the forums but nothing fixed it.
Now U might think this is BS but to get around this issue and get the TV to the point where I could do a hard reset I got a super bright LED Torch & shined it straight into the light sensor on the front of the TV at boot-up. This made the TV turn down the Back-light at boot-up, which allowed the TV to finally well Boot-Up. Then I instantly got it to do a hard reset and when this was done I turned the back-light down to 4 & put brightness on MAX . It runs like a dream again now & I can hardly tell the difference in brightness or picture quality.
