Sony 46"LED TV

My Sony TV screen goes on and off to black. Red light flashes 8 times in a row. Then I can switch it back on again, but it happens repeatedly. It's only 2 years old. Help!

model/specs would be helpful but generally with Sony the red light flashing 8 times indicates there is an internal video problem with the set. Try these steps and see if it fixes your issue:

•Disconnect all devices from the TV.
•Disconnect the TV from the network.
•If using a wired connection, disconnect the LAN cable.
•If using wireless connection, turn off the router and the modem.


Once you have done all of this you should then try a power reset:

If that fixes it great. If not then the next step would be a factory reset:

Keep in mind, if you have done any calibration of the set it will be lost with a factory reset.

If that doesn't work you may need a service tech to look at it
