Thanks. Worked cool. As mentioned by you removed the exact no. 4 wire for my TV KD55X7000E. Everything is fine screen and sound all perfect.
ciao mali5553 ho un sony KD-55XE7077 ed ha il problema che lampeggia il led rosso per 6 volte. ti volevo chiedere se avevi fatto una foto al lavoro che hai fatto per mettere a posto il televisore ? ti ringrazio se mi rispondi
Bro thank you for the tip!!! You said each word correctly about what sony service centre said!!! They told us to replace the entire panel!!!
Glad to be of help, Sandipan😃
they asked me the same to replace the entire panel costing 29k
still working today in 2024?
Thank you so much!!! Fixed my KD-65XE8596. Saved 21500 baht in Thailand...
6 red flashing lights on my sony 65xe8596. Followed your intructions and it seems to be working just fine. many thanks!
still warking today in 2024?
Worked on my KDL 55W809C. Has been fine since the fix for last 2 weeks. Cheap fix. Hopefully continues the same for some time 🤞. Thanks Adhik
You sir are a legend! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. It worked 100% for my KD-55X8509C. My power board looked a bit different, was exposed circuits rather than having a cover but the plug looked similar so I just went for it and cut/grounded the 4th wire from the top as described. TV is working perfectly!
Great video. I wish there were more people like you!
still working in 2024?
This has solved the issue with the 6 blinking lights on my KD 55XE8577 - there is a service manual downloadable online via google search. From there I doubled checked that the schematic matches what I see on the circuit board and identified the Backlight Error cable. It was a little confusing for a layman like myself in the beginning but there are 2 white cables amongst a bunch of grey cables - so I just used that as a reference to work out which cable slot relates to which tv function in the service manual. It works out that the bottom column top row slot is no.1, top column top row is no.2 - so the 8th slot which is the one I needed to cut is the top column 4th row down as per the video. Being the noob I am, I forgot to peel back the cable plastic casing in the first attempt before screwing it down to earth the cable; this resulted in the red light still flashing. I opened up the back and earthed it properly and now the TV does not show the red light error anymore and running as normal. Really useful video so thanks Adith for showing us the way!!
Works on the XBR-55x850D. YOU JUST SAVED ME SOOOOOOO MUCH MONEY. Thank you my guy.
You're most welcome!😊
55x850D here also however there was no 4th wire for me just an empty space. Ended up cutting the 5th wire since there was no 4th and now the TV is pretty much trash now
@@SPOCK22 LMFAO why would you even attempt that.
@@SPOCK22I have same issue. No 4th wire. And total is also 15+15 pin. What should I do.
not sure, my advice is to ask someone smarter than me and do more research, dont end up like me cutting the wrong wire and having to buy a new set@@friendselectro4501
Thanks so much for this fix for my 2017 XBR-55X800E. One of my backlights started to fade and Sony decided I wasn't allowed to watch my TV. Simple wire snip and it's back in action, with only a little dimness in a section of the screen.
Thank you so much, I fixed my tv following your instructions in this video.
Thank you very much, now my Sony KDL-55W755C is working, greetings from Croatia
FairPlay just went with what u did mine is a 65 but seems to be working perfectly now thanks again adith 🙌
Worked on my 2017 XBR-55X800E like a charm. Thank you!!!
Which wire did you cut on yours have the same issue
It work for me, I saved 700£ with your video mate, thank you.
Awesome video brother! Saved me $1000
Worked for the time being on a 3 year old 85" xbr-85x800h - same wire (top row, 4th in from the right). Sony calls this Pin 8 on the pinout that is on the board, but it is the one in the video above. Cut the black wire, ground out the end from the cpu board, and all is well. Hope it gets my by awhile longer!
Really appreciate mate ,❤ it worked for me, for Sony Bravia model 50W800C
Worked on xbr-65x850d! 🎉🎉 its a different setup behind the back cover but the 14pin (actually its 28pins between 2 rows) connector goes from the power supply to the motherboard. My TV does list the 'pin config' and the BL_ERR is the exact same one as the video (2nd row, 4th one back!).. i cut it and grounded it, per the video.. now, NO MORE 6xBLINKING RED LIGHT!!! .. running a software update but half the screen is dark (not completely black), so im pretty sure the Backlight panel is bad 😞.. looking at ebay for replacement boards but might just get rid of it cause if one thing is going bad there are probably more on the way. I'll see how much parts are and how complicated the repair process is. Thank you sooooo much for this video!!! Tried all other suggestions from many google searches and this was the only thing that worked! .. could not have done it without you Adith Krishnan!!!! 😊😊😊😊
Salve nella mia tv Sony il quarto filo del PIN non è presente quale dovrei tagliare
El mío es 65x855e y también funciona,recién lo acabo de hacer,antes duraba unos segundos encendida y se apagaba....ya pasó ese tiempo y sigue funciknando perfectamente.
A medida que pase el tiempo iré comentando nuevamente si sigue funciknando,muchas gracias!
Thanks for sharing. It worked for me.
Thanks Adith you've saved my TV 😊
It worked great!! Is it a fire hazard now and what exactly did I bypass by cutting that 4th wire? What was the root issue and by bypassing it does that create a hazard? I had 6 flashing red lights originally. Seems fixed now!
Muchas gracias!! Me funciono en una XBR-65x855D
Awesome man!!! Youre a genius
It works. Thank you so much😊
Works 100% saved me a trip to the tip and 500£ for a new kids tv
55x8509c is the model
Awesome! Glad it helped😄
Omg I can't believe it worked on my tv. I was going to throw it out because I can't afford to get it fixed but this did the job. Had 1 single led out and was messing everything up. So the image on tv still looks good as new. All the other videos didn't work so very happy this one did. Thx
thank you for your instructions .i have a sony kd-X7000E and i did exactly what you did and my tv works great thanks again .i spent $0 nothing
Thank you for youre good vidéo. How can i repaire a tv wich is working without light when lcd is good.
I got 4 red blinks on KDL-55HX729. However, the board looks different. i had to find BL_ERR on the board. For this model, it is 3rd wire, and I grounded it. Thank you for the video
Awesome! Glad to help
What about the voltages mentioned in the Sony service manual.
Thank you so much!
Thank you. So grateful
Merci pour l'astuce ça fonctionne !!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Merci pour le feedback!!!
@adithkrishnan9538 - I have a SONY 65- can you please confirm, is it the 4th wire on the top row OR for this model, the 8th wire - which is the 4th on the bottom row. I see you have been able to provide clarity to other users. Thanks.
Hola, tengo ese mismo problema pero en un modelo KDL-42W560A. Puedo repararlo de igual forma? He visto otros vídeos donde colocan una resistencia de 10K en un pin y desde ahí hacia tierra.
merci pour vos instructions .jai un sony kd-X7000E et j'ai fait exactement ce que vous avais fait et ma télévision marche a merveille merci encore une fois .j'ai depensé 0 $
Great video. I replaced the backlight led's but now getting sound but no video - any ideas ? Connectors are all good. Thank you!!
T-CON connectors, be sure to align properly
My LED is kd55x8500c. Giving six red lights indicator. Please suggest me which number of wire should i cut?
So it's a backlight problem originaly ? If I change LEDs it will be good ? Thanks
Thank you so much this worked for me. I can thank you enough. question how long till it stops working again, you said this is only a temp solution.
I meant until something really conks off and since there’s no error indicator it breaks down for good.. that’s when there’s no other resort than replacing the TV
Thanks brother...you have saved my 27k.
Nice fix, have to try on my TV. However it doesn't indicate the root cause, I suspect its the power supply board, likely a blown capacitor or IC.
One alternative is to solder another LED to the wire - maybe with a transistor/resistor combo and drop it down at the back, that way you can still get the blinking indication for other errors.
Nice tutorial sir watching here sending full support
Thank you!
Hello brother, i am having the same sony module and the same problem.
I did what you suggested but the tv completely red display is showing can you please suggest
Thanks a ton man
Would this work on the xbr65x800g? I’m scared to cut the wrong wire
I have a KDL-48W600B from 2014 with the red light blinking 5 times, do you think this would this work for me
Will it work on the sony bravia kdl-40ex521 as well?
The same procedure will also work in KD-49X8200E Series. Kindly let me know if it's works or not
My model is KDLW800D 50inches facing same issue half n hour back so what step should i need to follow
Nice idea sir watching your video sir..
Thank you :)
Which wire is to be disconnected in Sony KDL 43W 800C model TV.
Gracias por el video, pude realizar la modificación en un Sony XBR-55X805E y resulto perfecto, se termino el problema, el cableado no es igual pero, es de 14 pines e interrumpí el cuarto cable fila superior. Saludos desde CHILE
Hola, sabes si sería el mismo cable para un Sony bravía KDL-2W650A ?
KDL-42W650A
Hola, no soy experto en el tema, no te podría ayudar con tu consulta, solo seguí el video, aparte que el conector era igual al que yo tenía en mi televisor
Suerte
My BL ERR is number 8, how do I know which wire that it is? Is it just 8th from the top? Thanks
Will be trying this tomorrow.... Just hope I don't blow myself up in the process will report back and let you know how it goes.
How'd it go?
@@Rully30 well I didn't blow myself up, but... It didn't fix the issue. So I bought a new 4k TV.
Bummer did your TV not turn on at all and just blink red on the bottom single ?
Hi, will this work on my Kdl w859c thanks
I'm also trying to follow your each step but just wanted to ask that what is the major reason for these kind of indications
Mine is kdl-43w800d done that 4th wire technique still getting the 6 time blinking error please give any suggestions…
SONY Quality is gone down consderably from worse to worst.....DONT EVEN THINK of BUYING IT.... I got a Sony KD-55X80J in Sep 2021 for Rs 80,000.. It started giving this 6 times LED blinking and shutting down problem in June in the 10th month.. Luck for me in my warranty period..but the etechnician cant replace the faulty part till they realize what is the problem ..... I am dumping this off and getting a cheaper variant of whatever is ther eis market... HD Quality my foot.
Hi! Yes I very much agree with you. Pls consider LG! As I thought my tv had conked off prior to opening it up and trying a fix, I went and bought a new TV. Went for the LG 65 inch 4K TV. LG65UP77 model number. It's very good in terms of pictures, smoothness of UI with the magic remote and AI features.. First time I've bought LG and very happy with it's amazing picture quality. Quick to open apps no lag and not very expensive compared to Sony..
@@adithkrishnan9538 how is MU TV?
@@adornis0078 not sure about MU or MI TV.. haven't owned one :)
Ah! Bought x80aj but within a month faced same issue . Still under onte year warranty, if claimed will they replace the panel
@@adithkrishnan9538LG is the worst. we call that lemon here in our place
I have KD55XD8005 tv. And can't seem to figure out which wire to cut/ground 😖manual says i have to measure voltage og 21st pin on CN400. Which i think is 5th wire from the back on that wire asyy. But other than that, everything on the inside looks fine. I've tried following your video , but it didn't work for my tv. Help needed😢
Any assistance for a Sony KDL-40W650D blinking red light 3 time.
HI IS THE SAME METHOD WORK ON SONY BRAVIA DIGITAL KDL-32R300E, HAVE SAME ISSUE RED BLINKLING LIGHT
Sir, i have same problem in my sony tv kdl 43w950d red light blinking
Can fix it follow the method
I have had the same issue, i could literally see the black spot due to blown leds after bypassing the feedback. I changed led strip LHS strip only as RHS wasnt available, and kept the opened the bypass. Within a few minutes the OLD RHS strip conked off as well. Will wait till the new strip arrives. Do you think this is due to variable LED resistances that is causing the imbalance in the feedback loop?? What would have caused the perfectly working RHS strip to blow.Also should i also replace the IC for the led section to prevent blowong of the strip??
@Bhushan I'm sorry but I'm not this technically sound with electronics and components so don't really understand what you're saying. Whatever I've tried is done through looking through other videos and resources online and this video is a combined effort to sum up all that so it's easy for viewers without technical knowledge to try the fix at their own risk.. Hope you find a solution soon!
@@adithkrishnan9538 i did, the Tvs been working fine since I replaved both the Led Strips. It was the change in voltages between the old and new strip that caused it to conk of. Now all seems fine to me. Thanks
@@bhushantipnis1108 good to hear!!👍🏻
Good fix
Merci beaucoup fonctionne pour kd65xf! 👍👍👍
It worked for me.
Sir troubleshooting about 5 times red led indicator blinking problem in sony 43 inch w950d
Hey thanks for the video
But my Sony kdl-43w800d having the same 6 time blinking problem and i also ground the backlight wire but still 6 time blinking happening please provide me the solution
And yes the tv runs fine for 1-2 hours and after that the error occurs and after switching off the tv for 5-10 minutes the error gone and than again 1-2 hour error comes up please provide me the solution
Thanks and appreciate
i cutted it like on video for my KD-55X8507C still 6 blinking red lights?
Would this fix work on the KD 60 690
Didn’t work on my 2020 year KD65x750h. How do I find the right wire?
Hi bro..i need your kind opinion. I have a Sony KD-65A8F (OLED TV). Ive been using it for 5 years. Recently theres 6 red light flashes occuring, not always but sometimes. When it happens, I'll turned off the TV, disconnect the power plug, reboot & its fine. A few days later while watching, the tv turned off & 6 red light flashes again. These flashes occured sometimes 15 min while watching or it could go fine for 2 days before it happens again. Ive gone to self diagnostic menu..i saw it indicated backlight error. 3 columns with number codes. The service guy asked me to factory reset and the code was back to 0 (normal). A few days later it happens again. This has been going on for 2 weeks. Now the service guy said its likely that i need to change the whole OLED panel. Its not worth it as it will cost me around USD 1500. They also said they could change the board which is cheaper but could not guarantee the problem would be solved.
Questions - Is it true that OLED TV doesnt use backlight. If so, why the indication of backlight error in self-diagnostic?
- Can you suggest what is i should try next? Change the circuit box? Try your method? etc. Changing the panel is out of question. With that price, i might as well get a new TV. Thanks!
Is it work on every kind of sony tv?
I have a song bravia 80 inches and I get 8 flashing lights!! Any idea what I can do
Very nice uploaded more videos
Thanks man, it worked as a charm on my Sony KD-55X8505C. Few hundred bucks saved :) Btw. I don't see any issues with my display... stupid error
HOW DID YOU DO IT
That's great to hear! :)
All kidding aside I spent the last several hours combing through solutions for this problem on the Internet. I finally got frustrated and punched the TV out of anger and immediately started working again. The next time somebody tells me violence doesn’t solve anything I’m going to laugh at them.
Hahaha anything that gets the TV working 👍🏻😅
Thanks, my tv is working but it fades to black on the right. Will have to change anyway.
Hola hice esto y me funcionó perfecto, luego de unos minutos quedo la pantalla negra y funciona solo el sonido. Q puede ser?
mine having the same problem. at first there is a darker area at right side somehow it disspear after few weeks, n another few weeks i got the 6 blinking led
Hello Adith,
Thank you for your solution.
My Sony TV KD-55X8507C had the same issue with 6 times blinking. I did your solution with grounded the 4th wired from the big connector presented in your tutorial and the TV is working again but not 100%.The right side of my TV is darker then the left side.I suppose some back-lights are broken or intrerupted and this was the reason of 6 times blinking.
What do think about it?
Best regards
Silvio
Hi! Yes the backlight panel could be damaged or have some other issue.. Not sure what's the fix for that other than replacement of the backlights.. But the one I've shown in the video would not entirely work if backlight is damaged as you say..
I have the same problem. Right side doesn't light up. TV doesn't do the 6 red flashes anymore. Think I am gonna order some backlights
I have KD55x8500 f model, on the power board BL_Err mentioned on pin 8 , I removed it and ground the same, but after ground tv is not powering up and as soon as released the ground it works.... Any suggestion?
In my case Sony asking to replace the back light strips costing 16K + taxes (Very costly 2 LED strips..... :D
Hey man, I'm sure it's too late, but I had this same problem with "pin 8" yesterday. BTW, if you watch other videos, they show how you can properly pull the wire rather than cutting it. Anyway, I pulled 4 wires before I found "pin 8."
How to find it..... you can't count out 8 across the top or the bottom. The top row was odd and the bottom roe is even. So essentially, pin 8 was the fourth pin on the bottom row.
Also, instead of grounding with a screw, I inserted the pulled wire into one of the empty pin holes on the component, which is also "ground."
Just unplug your HDMI cable or HDMI device Maybe your USB drive too and shut down TV and it will work without this fix. The HDMI connection that connects into the TV gets hot as a pistolah. This fix works for the KD-60X690E
Pzzz help How to use( Sony kDL 43 W950C) red light blinking
would this work on Sony KDL-75W850C KDL-65W850C and would it still be the 4th wire?

@@adithkrishnan9538 thank u for answering. 🙏 I did so and now the blinking red light is gone but now i got only sound and no picture (black screen). Any ideas on how i should solve this?
I get picture for like 2 sec and then its black screen and only sound.
@@ese2627 okay this is a different case I guess... Maybe there's some genuine issue with your TV's backlight and that's why it's not turning on? Not sure how I can help fixing this :(
mine is the same model and does the same. did you find a solution
When turning on my TV, the Sony logo comes up on the screen with the led light white for a bit then the logo disappears so the screen become darker and the led light starts blinking red 6 times in loop. Your steps will be helpful for my case 🙂?

Hi Dear Adith, I have same TV but my tv 55in. KD-55X8500D and instead of 14+14 pin there is 15+15 pin. I need the pin description or which wire i should remove. Need urgent help before waste the TV.
Help me please i have the same model.
Hi would you know what wire the BL-Err is on a Sony TV Model KD 55XD8599 as i have 6 flashing Leds fault thank you
I have the same model and problem. Did you get an answer?
@@malachydevaney6855 check the motherboard for a pin out labelled “ BL-ERR”. It’s that wire. Follow it to the PS board connector and disconnect or snip off there and ground the free end from the mother board. I’m doing the same to my kd55xf9005 which has 4 blinking lights signifying a power or MB error, most likely just a pixel down.
For KDL 42W650A, Can any one tell Black Light (BL) error cable number ?
