SELF DIAGNOSIS KLV-40S400A
SELF DIAGNOSIS KLV-40S400A Sony LED TV has this built-in function which shows red light blinking or very few yellow light blinking. These error codes can be from one to fourteen depending on the model. In this article, since we are talking about a specific model, we will explain its blink codes step by step. There are 2 to 14 blink codes. In my opinion, these are the longest error codes in this model. Let’s understand them.
2-time red light blinkÂ
2-time red light blinking error If it is showing in this model, then it is related to the direct power supply. In this, you should check the main voltage of the power supply, especially the PFC voltage, which should be 390V.
3 time red light blinkÂ
3-time blinks is a DC alert 1, for this you should check the 3.3V and 5V lines on the main board, that is, inspect these two voltage regulators very carefully to see if they are giving output voltage or not.
4 Time red light blinkÂ
4-time red light blinking is DC Alert 2. To diagnose this, you will need to check the regulators with 1.8V and 5.5V lines and their fuses. If there is any voltage missing, fix it.
5 Time red light blink
5-times red light blinking is DC alert 3. For this you will have to check fuse number f7003. Check the input and output voltage of IC 7009 which will be 12 V. Basically this is a twelve volt line error in this model.
6 Time red light blink
6-times red light blinking This is a backlight/inverter error. According to my experience, this occurs when the inverter board malfunctions. This model uses a CCFL backlight, which generates a high voltage power supply.
7 Time red light blink
7-times red light blinking This is an internal temperature error. According to the company, if the internal temperature goes above 70 degrees, the set will go into standby mode, but my experience says that this fault occurs due to an IC not receiving clock data. I also have an article on this. You can search on Sony LED TV Repair Center.com and get complete details.
8 Time red light blink
8-times red light blinking is related to audio. If the VCC supply of the audio amplifier IC is disconnected, then you should change its fuse. In addition, you should check the source connection of the audio amplifier to see if it is properly connected to the system IC.
9 Time red light blink
9-times red light blinking This is a fan error, but I have seen the use of a fan here in very few models. If you are facing this error, then obviously the company has used a fan in your model. You have to check this fan and its power supply. The fan can usually jam over time.
10 Time red light blinkÂ
10-time red light blinking This is a special type of topic. This error comes due to DEF ERROR. Now understand this DEF error in this way that it is a digital signal feedback that goes from the T-con board to the main board. In it, the screen data is received by the system. This fault is very rarely seen. This is the main board or T-con board. Even if there is a fault inside the screen, this error can also be shown.
11 Time red light blink
The 11-time the red light blinks is due to NVM (Non-Volatile Memory). This is a small memory chip that contains the panel ID, i.e. information related to the screen. If this memory becomes corrupt or there is any change in its connection, this error will be shown.
12 Time red light blink
The reason for the 12 Time red light IIC ERROR. To solve this, you will have to search for IC9000 and IC 3000. Check the connectivity between these two ICs. You will find these ICs on the main board.
13 Time red light blink
Your time red light blinking To solve this error, according to my experience, you will have to open the screen of this set and check its CCFL tube lights or check their holders thoroughly. I have also fixed this fault. You can read the complete details by searching on my Sony LED TV Repair Center.com.
