Sony TV model KV27V40 blink codes?

This set will not power up. When you first plug it in the led blinks 10 times, then the relay clicks and holds for 10 seconds and then clicks again. Then the led blinks 4 times. Thereafter as long as its plugged it does a repeating sequence of 4 blinks. Trying to turn it on during this sequence interrupts it, the relay again holds for about 10 seconds then drops out and the 4 blink sequence resumes. I found cold solder joints on the hor. driver transformer and the HOT shorted. I redid all the soldering and replaced the Hot which was a 2SC5425 with a 2SD2580. The set still does the same thing. I don't have a schematic and so I was wondering if anyone knows of any further problems with these sets or perhaps from a troubleshooting point of view could point me in the right direction. Thanks very much for any assistance. Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics

I'm not very well versed in troubleshooting these Sony's with blink codes. Can someone please give me a brief explanation as to how they work and how to troubleshoot this kind of problem. I'm not sure how to go after the vertical if the set won't power up. And how does a loss of vertical keep the set from powering up? I'm wondering now if the shorted HOT was just coincidence or something else. And why were there no additional blinks to indicate that initially? Is there some kind of training manual that someone may be able to share with me and or perhaps a schematic? Thanks again for any help. Lenny Stein, Barlen Electronics

Loss of vertical triggers the protect circuits to disable current into the CRT including HV. Their way of assuring they don't replace CRT within warrenty peroid with a horiz stripe burned across it because someone still wanted to use the flippin thing as a radio.<
