Sony Bravia KDL-40V4100 40 in. LCD HDTV - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Depending on the type of TV, the longevity can be affected significantly. If your TV is a plasma model, they run very hot and the plasma only lasts about 4-5 years. That is why plasma is no longer being made by any of the major manufacturers. It was state of the art when it came out, but now LED TVs are the standard. They use much less energy, run a lot cooler and last much longer. Longevity really depends upon the technology used, not always who made it.

Replace HDMI cable first, then check whether your box works on HDMI out. Try connecting box using other out (USB, VGA, DVI, DP, cable)

I found them on eBay, but they are kind of pricey! http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XOlevia+remote+code+for+Sony+Bravia+RM-ADP111+.TRS0&_nkw=Olevia+remote+code+for+Sony+Bravia+RM-ADP111+&_sacat=0 I hope this helps you out!

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://homenol.blogspot.com/ http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Connect a internet cable to your Tv and to the LAN of your router

Kinda points to power supply . Does it start normal for a short time or refuse to start ? Bad capacitors are a common problem in the past , doubt that is cause here but on bench I always run the ESR meter around the power board at least . You could have a bad CCFL but this young not likely . Did you have a power surge or lightning strike nearby ? A UPS is always a great investment not just a surge bar . Make sure you power cycle...ie:pull plug from supply and let sit 15 seconds at least . Then try again . Just some thoughts with out more info . Hugh

Poor information...what pattern of flashing ie:4 flash pause 4 flash pause etc. There are many Bravia models out . Hugh
