Fix 2 Blink Error on Sony KLV-40EX430
A Sony LED TV model number KLV-40EX430 came to the workshop for repair. It had a fault in that it went into 2-blink protection as soon as it was turned on, and its standby red light kept blinking two times with a short interval. This TV has an external power supply that is 19 volts. When I first checked it, the voltage was correct.
Two Blink Protection
The self-diagnosis system in Sony LED TVs guides us to which area the fault belongs to In this article, we will specifically mention the two-blink fault. In this case, the system IC senses the main power supply. A reference from the main power line goes to the system IC. This reference is in the form of a two-point one volt. If this voltage does not reach the system IC in the correct amount, the system will automatically go into protection mode and the red light will start blinking.
Fault finding 2 blink error
I am sharing my experience. I set my multimeter to buzzer mode and started checking the main power line 19 volts in turn with the resistors attached to the system IC. Here I found full continuity with one resistor. This resistor was connecting another resistor to ground. This was the voltage divider unit I was looking for. I checked the voltage at the common point of these resistors and found them to be very low.
2 blink fault solution
I didn’t have the values of these resistors for this board, so I changed the voltage divider resistors according to the formula.I set R1 to 82K and R2 to 10K. The R1 resistor was bad, so I replaced it.Now I turned it on, and my TV is working perfectly.
Voltage Divider Issue in KLV-40EX430
To better understand the two-blink fault finding, I have also included a picture with the faulty parts marked in it. You can see that the voltage divider is faulty.

Conclusion 2: Blink error fault
A two blink fault is usually a power supply fault. In this case, you can see that this fault is caused by a reference not reaching the system IC, which is caused by a voltage divider resistor failure.We fixed this fault by replacing the faulty resistors. My advice is to do this work with extreme patience. Replacing the entire board is quite costly.
