Sony LED TV 5 Blinks Problem: What It Means & How to Fix It
Is your Sony LED TV blinking red light 5 times and refusing to start? Don’t worry—this is a common issue, and the solution is often simpler (and cheaper) than you might think.
This blog will guide you through what the 5 blinks mean, how to troubleshoot it, and where to get genuine Sony TV parts online from a trusted source: Great Bharat Electronics.
🔴 What Does the 5 Blinks Error Mean?
When your Sony TV’s red standby light blinks 5 times, it’s typically pointing to a T-CON board failure or an LCD panel issue. These components control your TV’s display, and when something goes wrong, your TV can stop functioning properly.
If you’re looking to fix this, you’ll likely need to replace a faulty part—and for that, we recommend visiting Sony TV Spare Parts – Great Bharat Electronics.
🛠️ Common Causes of the 5 Blinks Error
-
Faulty T-CON board
-
Damaged LCD panel
-
Loose or disconnected ribbon cables
-
Mainboard failure
-
Power surge or heat-related damage
✅ How to Fix the Sony LED TV 5 Blinks Issue
1. Perform a Power Reset
Unplug your TV, hold the power button on the TV itself for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and power on.
2. Check Internal Cables
Loose ribbon cables between the mainboard and T-CON board can trigger this issue. If you're experienced, open the back panel and inspect the connections.
3. Replace the T-CON or Mainboard
Once you’ve identified the faulty component, replace it using genuine Sony parts. Avoid fake or second-hand parts—they can cause more damage.
