Was working just fine last night but today turns on for 2 sec then PowerStandby light flashes 4 times.
I have the 50" SXRD TV and have expereienced many of the same problems as other owners. Sony replaced the optical block at no charge after the screen yellowing effect took place. Recently, I have the TV shut down with the flashing red light blinking in sequences of 4. After unplugging the TV for a few minutes, replugging it, and turning it back on, it worked again. However, this was not a pemanent solution as the problem returned. After reading several posts here, I turned the TV to look into the fans and voila, the one on the left was not spinning.
I took the back off of the TV (9 screws) and took apart the fan housing to vacuum everything. In addition, I vacummed everything else I could see. After putting it back together, the problem was solved. Save yourself a repair call. Get out a phillips screwdriver and a vacuum cleaner. Thanks to the posters on this site!!

i have this sxrd projection for 6 months.suddenly,while watching a tv show,the picture disapeared but sound remained,a green light continouosly blinked,i pressed on the ON button and suddenly the sound also disappeared and the blinking green light became red which flashed 5 times for every 2sec interval.i switched off the tv,after a while pulled out the plug.after 30minutes tried to turn on the tv but won't start anymore with the standby button flashing red 5 times for every interval
I think this sounds like my problem (need to replace the projector lamp). However, when I hit the "on" button, my SXRD 50" blinks green for about a minute then starts blinking red. Can you confirm the bulb solution? I was very pleased with this sight when my fan malfunctioned. I got the fan in a matter of day's from Sony and it fixed that problem.

sony tv red light blink 4 times on 60" WEGA
When your red light blinks four times on the Sony KDS-R60XBR1 60 inch HDTV, this is an error code for a stopped up fan. You will need to check the ASU board to verify Fan1-4 power to the fan is supplied, next check the fan connector to make sure it is properly connected, and finally make sure the fan is not caught in the wires or harness.

sony KDF-46E2000 green lights up then red light blinks 3 times no ricture blinks 3times again and again
be aware it means (3 blinks) lamp door is not closed properly------it is not the lamp door.
What happens here is the door becomes slightly warped from the heat from the lamp. When you remove the door you will if you look carefully see a small opening that lines up with a peg on the back of the door.
Inside the opening is a lever (very small) that is the safety switch-------if the door IS YOUR PROBLEM AND you engage the level with something not metal, the set will come on and function.
If this is the case hold the lamp door edgewise to examine it for bowing.
The door is available on the internet.
Contact me if you have questions.

Hi,
Red led blinks 4 times is an error code that shows that fan is not running in tv, check fans connections and make sure all are plugged properly.
Thanks.

red blinking light 4 times no picture.
4 times blink shows problem of fans not running or connector of fan is not attached properly.
Please recheck the things what you removed during fan replacement and make sure all that is mounted and connected securely.

the picture will not turn on. I installed new lamp. TV picture okay. Turned off TV after 10 minutes. Now power light blinking red 4 times. No picture or sound.
Sony service said it means fan problem & surprised TV went back on for awhile.
Sony service coming next week.
Is there a way to clean the fan?
What is ambient temperature limit?
There are three fans the one that usually fails is located on top of the optical block and cannot be reached by the owner unless you take the set apart yourself. What is happening is that one of the fans are not spinning fast enough or has stopped altogether. The best solution is to replace all three fans cleaning may not be enough to get a slow fan up to speed, and the tech should blow out the dust in the duct work. This is what the tech coming out will (or should) be doing. Also some fans will have an intermittent startup, and cause this intermittently, so it is a good idea just to replace the fans instead of just cleaning them.

Hi,
4 times red light blinking indicates problem with exhaust fan that is not running and tv shuts down instantly due to protection mode activation.
Please check exhaust fan and make sure its connector is plugged in and fan runs freely.
Thanks.

The TV was starting to lose colors and go mostly green... I replaced the lamp and still have the problem. I have tried to change HUE, change color balance and G-Bias, etc. the TV still has crappy color and the prime color is green
