I see this so much that I am going to compose and save this answer:

3 blinks (it is in the owner manual) is "Lamp door not properly closed".

What is really wrong is if you remove the door and look edgewise it will likely be warped from the heat from the lamp.

1. On most of these but not all SONY knows of this and offers on many models to repair or replace the set for free---some models the heat also warps the area the lamp inserts in.

2. If you look at the back of the door there is a small plastic peg--it when door is installed engages a lever (small and designed to prevent the set from being used if door is open).

3. The way to prove if door is the problem is to with something not metal engage and hold the lever where the peg goes (you will have door off and also the large front plate giving access to lamp) and turning set on.

IF SET COMES ON AND WORKS DO NOT LOOK AT THE LIGHT FROM THE LAMP as it can damage your vision.

DO NOT OPERATE SET FOR A PROLONGED TIME WITH DOOR REMOVED OR THE FRONT PLATE (that covers access to lamp) attached as the heat with door removed can damage the outer plate.

4. If set works then you have a few choices=Google the model number with "lamp door" or order it from Sony and replace it.

Please feel free to comment here (make a comment button) if you have questions or concerns and it is important to me to know if this helped you or not

SOURCE: power light flashes green likes it turning on then flashes red 3 times. I just replaced lamp Sony Grand Wega KDF-55E2000

3 blinks should on this model mean "LAMP DOOR IS NOT CLOSED" BUT IT really means something else.

Can I assist you?

I can tell you how to prove this or not and if proved it is a simple and not expensive repair..

3 blinks is a lamp cover error, did you make sure that the lamp cover is screwed in tight? Also check the lamp cover for deformity, there is a problem with your model where the set over heats and melts the lamp cover a little causing it not to make connection with the lamp cover switch. Let me know if you find either of these problems? If not we can troubleshoot a little further.

Sony KDF-55E2000 power led blinks red 3 times....

Are you using an extension cable? If you are, try plugging it directly into the wall.

Alternatively, call up the helpline and they may be able to provide more insight into your specific problem.

The power indicator light flashes green 4 times then red 3 times and it won't turn on.....thought it was the buld replaced that and checked to make sure the door at the bulb was closed properly.still no...

Did you clean cooling fans including the ones mounted on the projector unit? When they become full of dust unit will not turn on. Its usually what kills the bulb in the end.

Problem for Sony Grand WEGA KDF-55WF655. Hello,

5 times Red LED blinks means Lamp Driver Error. (KDF-55WF655)
2 possible reasons, either Lamp is gone or Ballast Supply got bad.
Replace lamp first, in most cases it solved the problem.
How old is this TV and did you replaced lamp recently?
Thanks.

Sony Wega KDF-55E2000 won't turn on

A 5 blink code is a lamp power supply problem, but I would try a new lamp. I'd say about 90% of the time that fixes the problem.Get an ORIGINAL Sony lamp as the aftermarket replacements are ****. If you replace the lamp and still have the problem, you will need to have the lamp power supply/lamp ballast replaced
