I have a 2001 Sony BiG Screen 53" Model #KP53HS10 Rear Projection TV. In the last month the timer button started flashing and after a while the picture would go out but sound still works properly. Called Sony help desk and the tech said to count the number of times the light flashes. I informed her it flashes (5) times and then stops and does it repeatedly. She said to give the following Event ID#E33926831 to a Sony service technician and they would be able to diagnose the problem. The service technician is 50 miles from our community. Does anyone know what this code is and whether the items to repair it are available somewhere. With the costs of TV's today I don't want to put $100's of dollars into repair without knowing this will fix the problem. By the way you can turn TV OFF/ON again and it will work OK for 10 minutes but it continues to do this. Any help is appreciated.
sounds like a heat problem,,,get a hair dryer and a can of freeze and start spraying,,,,
Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the Cboard, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly. There could also be a vertical output or drive problem, a bad connection in the video jungle or video switching circuits. This is not a set you want to be playing or experimenting around inside of. You could have a problem in the "A" board or could also be related to a service bulletin that Sony came out with located HERE Good Luck with this repair and please let us know what you found out about this repair
