I have a sony KF-42WE610. When I go to power it on the green power/standby light flashes 3 times then goes to 6 red flashes and pauses and repeats the 6 red flashes. What does this mean. The tv won't turn on.
More than likely it is the G1 board or Thermal Fuse. I replace the thermal fuse and it is still giving me the 6 blinking red lights. Thermal fuse is $40 and cheapest G1 board I have found on-line is $120. I am about to pull the trigger on the G1 board and give it a shot.
Replacing the thermal fuse is a little tricky. You don't actually remove the old one, instead install a new one below the lamp. In order to run the wires you need to remove the back panel and a fan. I actually had to remove the optical block as well. Part number is Sony A-1137-954-A Service Kit(We) and replaces a metal "bracket" under the lamp. PLEASE NOTE that this fix DID NOT work in my case.
I received a replacement G1 board yesterday, unfortunately it did not work either. I received the same 6 blinking red light code. It was a refurbished board. The company I ordered it from is sending me another one to try. If it doesn't work then I am going to have to dig a little deeper into researching the issue. Should have the other board in 3-4 days.

Make sure all of your connections are plugged in. I bought a kf-42we610 that had a bad optical block just for the lamp for another tv I was fixing. Just now I was making sure that all of the boards for the tv are in good working order and in doing so I missed one or two connections on the right side which caused the code 6 error. I believe one of them was the lamp fan.

I tried this already. It's been off and unplugged all night and still having the same issue. Thanks for the tip. Does anyone else have an idea?
How do I replace the fuse?
