Triage Chart - Sony KDL-22EX355 Service Training Manual

6X Blink - Backlight Converter System Failure
If the inverter circuits fails to generate high voltage or one or more of the
backlight lamps fails to light, the television will shut down and display this
diagnostics error. Observing for the presence of backlighting is crucial in
determining which component is likely at fault.
If the backlights turn on before the 6X shutdown occurs, it is safe to assume
that the inverter circuits are functioning and one of the lamps failed to ignite.
Replacing the LCD Panel assembly is necessary. If the backlights never
turn on before the 6X shutdown, the Inverter MT Board has failed. If this
board is available for replacement, replace it, if not, replace the LCD Panel
Assembly.

SECTION 2 - TROUBLESHOOTING
7X Blink - Temperature Failure
A digital thermometer IC located on the Main Board provides a temperature
reading of the chassis and LCD panel. If the temperature exceeds a pre-
determined point the TV will shut down. If this problem occurs immediately
at turn-on, the temperature sensing IC has failed and replacing the main
board is required. If this occurs after the TV has been running for a while,
check for ventilation issues that could cause the TV to run hotter than
normal.
