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..

Hi,
Question shows it is Sony KDF-55E2000 lcd rear projection that has lamp inside as back light source, when this lamp reaches end of its working hours life, it starts such problem.
If lamp has not been replaced in last 2-3 years, then replace it to solve this picture issue, lamp replacement procedure is easy and written in user manual of tv, please buy Sony original lamp from nearest Sony Store for good picture in tv.
Thanks.

3 blinks is normally lamp door ajar. that tv has 2 lamp switches one for the door and one for the lamp itself. i suggest having a serviceman check out tv.

this problem has to do with te optics in the tv...not the lamp. I had the same problem, even after replacing the lamp. I called sony & they are replacing the tv with a 2010 Sony Bravia 40'. Free! For a fee of $325 I could have got a 46" or for $725 a 55". I went with the 40". Try working it out with sony. It worked for me and only took a 5 minute phone call. Good Luck

Lamp is a user replacable. You can follow the instructions listed in the Manual. Click on the below link to open the Manual:

I will forward a link to a page where you can find the instructions on replacing the lamp of the TV.

This indicates problems with the image engine. (Lamp does not control the colour). If the TV has not been cleaned recently, excessive dust build up internally may have overheated the image engine. If Sony will not cover it, you might want to consider a new TV.
