FML - TV kaput

ivrytwr3 · 1 Oct 2024 at 07:36

Having a great couple of weeks, new motor in Aug 24, front wing damage in Sep 24 and now TV has gone pop

SON-LED-KD55XF9005BU-BK - powers on, then powers off, 4 red blinking lights. Internal hardware failure apparently. Ah! But i have a 5 year warranty > checks warranty > purchased Mar 2019 = bugger.

https://www.sony.co.uk/store/produc...-HD-High-Dynamic-Range-HDR-Smart-TV-Google-TV - new TV should be here by end of week, but wasn't expecting to be paying out for a new TV

Did get it with a Blue Light code - 20% off Sony products!

Ah well, now i can watch Deadpool/Wolverine on a 65" - yey!

No idea what to do with old TV - skip?

Why not buy oled?

Might well be able to fix it. Contact any local TV repair places you might have. If economical to repair then you have a spare for bedroom/kids.

I'd take the back off and have a quick look inside - most TVs are quite modular, normal an AV board, an LED invertor and a separate PSU board.

Normally you can see burnt components or bulging caps on a PSU board, but have a look on ebay - depending on Price might be worth a shot to just try replacing the PSU board.

Chuck it on Facebook market for free, for repair and someone will prob take it.
