Hi there, I have a sony KDL-50R550A lcd tv. when i turn on the tv it shows the Sony logo three times then it blinks for six.can you tell me what might be the problem there

Hi Darryl mclellan, because of the amount of flashes, it is very possible failure in the system of LEDs of back lighting or the circuit that feeds it

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.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.
Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device, in the "Search box at the top right of the display window of the Homepage" to get gathered related posts.

Hi Tim
In my opinion
No... the LED's are doing their job
Error reporting
Modern TV's are computers and try to indicate where a problem exists.
Does it need a Firmware upgrade?

Red green or orange lights are on or blinking on the TV

It is either the power supply or the LED panel. Here is a discussion: https://community.sony.com/t5/Customer-Relations/KDL-50R550A-Blinking-Lights/td-p/463756
