Sony Bravia 32" TV will not turn on????
I've got a 32" Sony Bravia TV KDL32EX301 when I turn the TV on it comes up with the Sony logo then turns straight back off again. A red light starts flashing it flashes about 18 or so times.

It blinks 6 times then stops for 2 seconds then starts again.

6 lashes appears to be back light error, so a failure of the LCD panel (the most common fault across LCD TV's).

The screen is working as the Sony logo comes up then the usual sound it makes then it turns off and starts flashing 6 times.

The Sony logo may appear momentarily but, as Nigel Goodwin pointed out, the back light may be faulty as indicated by the 6 flashes |

As I said before, looks like it probably needs a new LCD panel. |

He said backlight, so I assume they just replaced the CFL?

They 'may' have replaced the inverter, which although part of the LCD panel is sometimes available separately. |

Some tv engineers will open up an LCD panel and replace the ccfl tubes (I have done a couple) But it is not a job for the faint hearted, and not without risks of breaking the panel or it's tab connections.
but if the panel is "dud" it sometimes can be worth risking it, if the alternative is to scrap the set. I keep a box of assorted ccfl tubes recovered from broken screens that I have scrapped for this purpose. |

I keep a box of assorted ccfl tubes recovered from broken screens that I have scrapped for this purpose. It took a LOT of getting to pieces, and I was shocked to find that it was edge-lit (from top and bottom) with two incredibly thin tubes side by side - so instead of the normal multiple diffuser sheets, there was a solid piece of plastic about a quarter cm thick (making the tubes about 1/8cm thick). |

As far as I know from what the guy said they just replaced the tube going along the back of the TV it cost me £86 from a local company. Currys wanted to Charge me £95 to look at it and then what ever the parts cost.

![]() They certainly haven't replaced the LCD panel for that, and I'm impressed if they replaced a CCFL tune inside the panel. |
