Sony Bravia LED red light blinks 6 times (Backlight error)
When I perform a factory reset of the TV (by continuously pressing UP key on the remote and power button on the TV once), the TV operates normally for around 12-15 minutes. Then the display turns off and red light on the TV blinks 6 times (which I found out stands for backlight error).
There are no areas on the display that seem dimly lit when the TV is operational.
I tried disconnecting and re-connecting all the cables from the different boards just in case it was an issue of a bad connection somewhere. No help from that.
Resetting only solves the problem temporarily. This is what the self-check shows:
Is this a good question?

I have red led six time blink
by HARISH
I read the service manual b/c my sony bravia blinks red light 6 times. It is a back light problem and the main problems acording to the manual are the G board (gl3 board which has the power supply) or the lcd panel itself. The secondary cause, yet less common, is the B board. Those componets can cost alone $150-325. In mine the led strip flickers before the TV shuts off. and blinking the red light. So it makes sense that the CPU sees a voltage discrepancy and shuts down the system!

Did buying a power supply board help solve your issue? Your issue is what I am getting. Its flickers and part of the screen goes black and it shuts off doing 6 red flashes.

Renewed both boards still flashing 6 times with black screen

My Sony Bravia KDL/65W850C does not have picture at all. Just 6 red flashing lights. Is there a video that actually instructs you how to take apart and test this TV. Saw one where the guy replaced an LED strip, but the TV was already taken apart and he claims he broke a plastic piece, really!!
