Back in 2003, we got a beast of a 36 inch Sony WEGA TV. It was a great TV for us over the years, but yesterday it refused to power up. The power supply would click like it was trying to power up, but it just wouldn’t come on.
We tried unplugging it to see if that would help, but it didn’t. Frustrated, I turned my attention to the internet. What I discovered surprised me…
For starters there are a number of people out there with similar Sony TV models that won’t turn on. It seems that the most common cause of this problem is a bad power supply (or some component thereof), and having it fixed professionally will likely cost $300-$500. That’s the bad news. The good news is that there is a (perhaps temporary) fix that you can do yourself in just a few minutes.
Fixing a Sony WEGA TV that won’t turn on
The power supply on this style of TV is located near the bottom of the unit in the back right corner (as you view the TV from the front). Beyond this, there is (apparently) a humidity sensor of some sort on the power supply that prevents the TV from coming on when there is too much ambient moisture.
Here’s the fix:
Start by unplugging your TV set. Next, simply direct a hair dryer (on high heat) through the vents along the lower, back corner of the right side of your TV set. Here again, “right side” assumes that you’re looking at the TV set from the front. Let it blow through the vents for a good 2-3 minutes then plug it back in and fire it up. If you’re lucky, it will function normally.
When I tried this yesterday, it didn’t work at first. After a bit more blowing, however, the TV powered up and continued to work for the remainder of the day. This morning, it turned on just fine, but then failed to turn back on a short while later. We then tried it after lunch and it worked fine again (all without firing up the hair dryer).
It’s unclear to me why this works. It may be that the humidity sensor is going bad and had become, or perhaps there’s a problem with dust somehow interfering. It seems unlikely to be the latter, as the heat appears to be necessary to get things back up and running.
Regardless, our TV is now functional if a bit unstable. I’m guessing that we’ll be able to limp along for awhile before it completely fails, but at least this buys us some time to shop for a replacement.
Oh, and just for reference, our Sony TV is model # KV-36HS500, and one of the key symptoms of this problem (aside from a failure to turn on) is that the power light will flash six times after hitting the power button.

Thanks for the tip on how to fix a Sony TV that won’t start. Follow the instructions exactly, and the TV fired right up.
Thanks so much for the info. After some blow drying time, Stevie the tv made a noise when hitting his power button, which was more than he had done in a week, but then nothing… until about 10 seconds later, when he powered on! You rock for sharing this fix.
Thank you so much. it worked perfectly. calling the service guy now. do not need the repair man. Your an angel!
umm its kinda like i built in falier arfter a while it just wont do enything
I sure will try this. The service guy I called prtented he never heard of this problem..Thanks guys! Time for big screen anyway
Great idea. Gave it a try for my model 800. Tried an tried, but to no avail. Still makes a second noise, but won’t come on.
We were able to get it on a few times by just trying to turn it on when we came by. Once on, it worked fine. Decided to leave it on, in mute. Concept worked great until some dummo turned it off, out of normal practice. You’re right, it was me.
Back to square one (and a new HDTV) as soon as I figure out how to get rid of this (240 pounds). Any ideas?
Howard: Check craigslist.org for haulers. Search for “haul”, “hauler”, “hauling”, that sort of thing. That’s what we did. Got a couple of guys to carry it down stairs from our bonus room and out to their truck, and then haul it away for something like $50.
it worked
The blow dryer trick worked for us.
I tried the blow dryer and IT WORKED, thank you for the info. It has worked each of the three times I have tried it. I don’t know how long this will continue to work but I am hoping it will for a while. Do you know if the humidity sensor can be fixed??
i put a new bulb in today and then a few hours later my tv turned off and the front started blinking red 3 times and wont urn back on what does this mean anybody know?
Unbelievable! Worked like a charm! Just keeping our fingers crossed — anybody got an idea how long this might continue to work? Or how many times you can keep reviving it?
I was able to get my tv to turn on daily for about 1 week then I started having trouble. Some days it would work other days it wouldn’t. The blow drying time increased. Sometimes it took 10 minutes. I did find that if the tv was left unplugged for a couple of days and then used the blow dryer it would come on. I finally decided to keep the tv on, only turning off the satellite box, until I bought a new one. I just got a new tv. Wish I didn’t have to because I really liked the picture quality on the Sony but the blow drying thing got to be to much. I never knew if would work or not. If anyone finds out that the sensor can be fixed please let me know. I haven’t recycled the Sony yet.
Unbelievable, after grumbling around the house about somebody breaking the tv the blow dryer worked. Took two tries, the second time on high hot. The high temp seemed the key. Thanks to my wife for looking this up!
Yes, I followed your instructions and it works. My TV fired up in 30 sec.
Thanks,
You are a GENIUS. My husband would marry you if he weren’t already married to me.
Go SF Giants!
we’ve got a Sony Vega 32 inch LCD TV had it for about 3 years now and all of a sudden in the last couple of weeks it suddenly goes off whilst watching a programe, it doesnt make any noises just goes blank but we noticed that the on/off button on the front of the set flashes green on and off – any suggestions most welcomed and has anyone else had this problem with their Sony tv? many thanks John C
My sony wega still wont turn on D:
Thanks so much for posting this! My Sony KDF-E50A10 wouldn’t turn on and I did exactly what you said and it’s back to working like new!
Thanks again!
Worked for us too! Thanks!
hair dryer worked on the wega….props
I tried something different, I tried vacuuming the back of the TV think there was dust inside. I’ll try the blow drying too. I did find that by unplugging the TV to turn it on, then plugging it back it back in to turn it on. I’ve tried it twice, so far. Let’s hope I don’t forget and turn it on and off the old fashioned way. Keep your fingers crossed. I’ll report back if unplugging/plugging it in no longer works.
Jammer – Thanks – you are a genius. I have had TWO of these behemoths. The first died just like this a few years ago – never turned back on. I looked on the net, and didn’t see a fix, so I scapped the TV as the 300 – 500 wasn’t worth it. My neighbor was getting rid of one just like it, and so that one was the replacement until it died the same way, today. Cleaned it and used compressed air, and the unit came alive without the heat, but wirh squigly lines. Tried it with the heat of a blowdryer, and bam! Problem solved!! THANKS!!!
Awesome fix! I spent several hours last night unplugging and plugging in the TV, doing the power reset as directed by Sony. Finally worked. But tonight acted up again so I went researching for a new TV. The good news, my wife was forced to miss all the soaps today and I was forced to miss all the news tonight. We had a wonderful dinner for two with no interruptions! Then, as she tackled my kitchen mess I Googled this string and voila! It worked like a charm. Thanks. Saved me a service call and/or new TV.
Sounds like it worked for pretty much everyone. I will def try it this afternoon. Does this problem mean I have to look into getting a new TV for sure?
Wow! You are a TV genius. Because I am the one who found your site and was able to fix the TV, my husband now owes me a new car. THanks.
Unbelievable fix. Would I have tried it without the followup posts… probably not. But it worked, so I am here to add to the chorus of those who sing these praises. HoodaThunkIt???
Our Sony WEGA 62″ just stopped playing a half an hour ago and when we try to start it back up…the lamp light just blinks and it won’t power on. What is this. All this time and now I can’t find the book so I’m here on the web trying to find answers….help.
This was great fix. Thanks. We bought our tv nearly a decade ago and it has been a great unit. we have another sony that is 30 or 40 years old that still works as well, although the picture is not the greatest anymore. I used a combination of two fixes, yours and plugging it into a wall socket. Works fine now and I will also just leave it on till I can convince my wife to get a new one. Thanks
I can’t believe it, using a blow dryer on my Sony FD Trinitron WEGA XBR
KV-40XBR800 actually worked! Now my blow dryer is plugged in and sitting next to my TV. I’d rather spend my money on something else.
Wooohoooo
The blow dryer was a short-lived solution. My Sony FD Trinitron WEGA XBRKV-40XBR800 turn on successfully for seven days just like it should. I came home tonight and the F’ing thing wouldn’t turn on! I tried the blow dryer again but it didn’t work.
I find it hard to believe that Sony isn’t aware of this problem.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Connie, I agree. cant believe that this is happening to our tv and they didnt know about it. I have resorted to leaving our tv on all the time. It has been good for more than a week. I just dont want to have to purchase a new on right now. If you can get yours to turn back on, just leave it on.
blow dryer worked like a charm! thanks, jammer! youre a genius!
I agree Tommy, Sony has to be aware of the problem. I thought about leaving my TV on as well, however, since it’s not working properly I was concerned it could over heat. I tried the blow dyer too and it did work (a few times anyway). I have since unplugged the TV, disconnected the cable box, and moved the DVR upstairs to my SAMSUNG—which is also an HD TV. My very expensive Sony FD Trinitron WEGA XBRKV-40XBR800 now sits unplugged, in the living room and reminds me how I feel about Sony. I’m thinking that someone might want it for parts—eBay is only a keystroke away.
Thanks for the tip. It worked like a charm.
I had been having this problem for more than a month. Sometimes it goes on after only a few presses. Sometimes a hundred. Sometimes not at all. Tonight it just wouldn’t go on. I found your post. I dried the back right on highlike you said and BINGO, it went on. I live in Florida. Humidity is part of life here. Let’s see how long we do the blowdry fix before we buy a LCD like everyone else.
Thanks so much! Your good advice saved us time and money.
It worked!!!!
Just tried this on an KV-36XBR800. 60 seconds on the bottom right side circuit board brought it back. Been raining for week this spring. Born on date 2/2002. Time for a bigger LED……….
Just dont turn it off. It may not come back on.
Wow, tried few times with blow dryer and it worked!! I guess Sony doesn’t make TV’s like good old days, which last me over 10 years until tube burned out…
hair dryer trick worked for us too! was a bit skeptical. Had TV over 6 years hoping to keep it a few more. thanks for the awesome tip!
The hair dryer worked perfectly! I used the high heat setting and went a bit further than the instructions said. I blew out every vent for 2 min each. Remember to unplug the TV rather than turning it off.
O.K.
Hairdryer fix worked a couple of times. Have left tv on on an inactive channel for 4 weeks, with dark screen and annoying green lettering that can’t be defeated. Then switch to active channel and everything is fine until 2 days ago. Noticed a red tint to dark screen early in am. But worked fine when I switched to cable channel, Video 7. However, when I came back and checked, there was the tv doing that six red blinks thing. Perhaps a pet stepped on the remote and turned it off, but since then, cannot get it to start up . My question is, has anyone had their Sony successfully repaired? I am quite happy with mine when it works.
Ok so i have a 25-30 inch (not exactly sure and dont feel like measuring) sony triniton in my living room and i broke the coax input off by accident so i gotta use av not a big deal except the cable box is broke too so i figure screw it and use the vcr for now, well tonight i was cruisin round with my dude and we found 2 tvs at the curb lol, both sonys, ones a sony 20 inch triniton looks exactly like the one i got cept a lil smaller and the other is a sony triniton hdtv 35 inch diagonally(i jus measured lol). So me and my buddy scoop the lil one thro it in tha back seat, we had some trouble gettin the heavy ass monster in the trunk but once it was there the frame of the trunk held it in place, i culd whip all the corners i wanted and it wasnt goin anywheres lol anyway once they were in the car i realized the owners how cut the power wires for some dumbass reason, mabe they didnt want animals to get tangled or some shit, so i get home me and my dude lug the monster out get it inside, i take it apart and splice the power wire onto a spare power cable i had laying around and i power it up and it comes on video 5, so im all happy so i go upstairs to get some cable and come bak down and it was off. Wen we picked it up it had collected some moisture from sitting there from the humidty of NJ, then i read this article bout the humidty sensor which is kinda dumb but also kinda smart on sonys part. Ive been trying this trick for 30 mins now and no results im thinkin tht maybe the humidty sensor blew out while i had first turned it on, and i was thinkin bout waiting till the next day to power it up so it culd dry out. If anybody culd shed some light on the issue id greatly appreciate it, you culd email me at DevanMustangGT@yahoo.com, make the subject heading sony ty fix. Thx guys (i have an 01 heavily modded 550 horse triple black cobra btw lol if your in jersey and u got a nice whip comon out to the meets, races and cruises contact me) again thanx everybody and thx for your genius jammer
O and where on the power supply is the humidity sensor if i culd get a picture then i culd find a part number and either try to replace it or bypass it
I also meant to say a scamatic wuld help as well
Worked for me as well. thanks!
.
The circuit on D board is sensitive to heat and apparently there is no humidity sensor…so sorry
Anyway if you can solder apparently it is about $24 for the two IC’s (IC6501 and IC8002 part# MCZ3001DB ) when 6 or 7 flashing standby LED flashes are detected on front panel.
I haven’t tried it yet…but felt compelled to share my findings..
thks ,worked first time[ combined vac. first then dryer] then after 5 min. turned it off & it came back on !..hope it continues to work.
Blow dryer for a few minutes got our Sony Wega to turn on!!!
Can I use the blow dryer with the set turned off instead of unplugging it
from the wall?
Awesome advice. I used the blower Idea and Dont know if its a coincindence or just a fix, It worked. I will plan on keeping this for a while. SONY 36″ dont even knwo the model number.
your are awesome man.. I tried again today and its not a coincidence. it worked like a charm .
I second that–you are awesome! Saved us! The blow dryer worked. I’m marking your site. You rock!
I dont know how much to thank you.. even this evening, the blow dryer idea worked excellent. Usually I try 3-4 times before the tv turns on, didnt have to do it anymore. First time it works
Wow. The blow dryer worked! It’s a little hard to get to that spot based on how our tv is setup but we did it. The dust flying around in the air was like a snowstorm (like I said, hard to get back there…) but at least the tv works for now. Yay!!!!
THANK YOU–hairdryer fix is working for me! I have a 27″ Trinitron Wega (KV-27FS100). My standby light was blinking 4 times instead of 6, but now that it’s been ‘blow-dried’ it doesn’t blink at all! It took a little bit of trying to aim the dryer in the right spot.
I’m glad I didn’t give up when the hairdryer didn’t work in the first few minutes.
At first, I just laid the hair dryer on its side and blew it straight into the vent with no result. I finally picked it up and directed it by hand to different areas of the vent. After 5 minutes of this, the TV would turn on for 2 or 3 seconds and I’d get sound and picture this time, but still it turned itself off. It worked finally when I aimed the hairdryer through the vent for several minutes toward what would be the center bottom of the television’s base. Success! The television stayed on, perfect picture and sound.
I accidentally turned it off a minute later, but now it obeyed the power button and turned on immediately. No flashing power lights this time. Amazing.
wow really worked thanks alot our sony is now on for everyone else just leave the tv on then u wont have to do it agin
i tried this and it totally worked
thanks!!
thanks alot bro!
Thanks for the info dude it worked
not sure if this is the right place to ask about tv questions but I have a tv that I can turn on will run for about 30 seconds will be distorted hazy foggy picture and then will turn off all by itself .. can u help ? Thanks
The heat gun did the trick!
How did you know this?
Thanks
Same thing today
Worked again
Thank You
You say to use the blow dryer on the bottom right which is left if you are facing the tv from the back and right if you extend your right hand to the back from the front? well i did the dryer trick and I’m not quite sure where to blow the heat into 55 inch wega sony Help!!! I want to feel like the others feel when it worked.
Worked for about a week.
My neighbor just replace the I C.
Now its working again.
Thank You!! It worked!!
thanks google,i,m wandering if its dust messing with the sensor.p.s thanks other guy.
It worked! I followed the instruction and my Sony TV fired up. Thanks so much. You are an angel.
I was skeptical when I read this article, but it worked for me!
Thanks!
WORKS! Holy crap. My wife tried it this weekend, and no go but she is not very patient.
I was ready to pull the trigger on a new TV today. Thought I would give it one last try, slow warm blow on the lower right hand side (just like you said from looking at the TV). Fired up on first try. I hope it holds, it had been a tough month with bills. Thanks!
It wont work for me. I have tried and tried. It just keeps flashing red and green but wont turn on. Its been more than an hour i think i should give up now. : (
It was actually a rainy day and I have the tv in the garage. The sensor must have been doing its job. I was getting ready to throw the tv away not knowing about the sensor. Thank you for your valuable information. It prevented me from throwing it away. It worked like a charm.
Replace the I C’s
My cost $ 20.00 for I C’s on eBay.
Gift card for my neighbor to install the new I C’s
Cheep fix.
This same problem has been happening to us for weeks now. I’m so glad I found this site and that I’m not the only person experiencing this sort of problem. Everyone who responded seemed to have great results. I can’t wait to go home and try it. I was so excited, I emailed this to my boyfriend, who is home today. Hope he opens his mail and tries this. I’ll keep you posted if it works. I agree with the other writers, How come Sony isn’t aware of this problem?
The dryer works! I used to have to click on the tv 50 clicks before it would turn on. I used the dryer for about a minute and pluged it in and it came right on. Thanks
KV-36HS500 would not turn, it would sit and blink. I found this site, did the blow dryer for 1 minute or so, plugged the TV in and hit the power button and bingo, I have a TV again. Repair man gave me a price of $600 to fix it 3 days earlier. Thanks so much for posting this good information!
Hi, I’m following up on my post a few days ago. I finally tried it over the weekend and have to say the TV went on like a dream. I’m glad I don’t have to run out and buy a new TV just yet. Will do it this way until the TV blows.
the recommendation sounded crazy but worked like a charm. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!!! Worked to perfection!! My wife had the the 2 Men and a Truck headed to the house to “bury” my football buddy!!! I taped the d… TV controller so it can’t be turned off again!!
You rock! It’s football Sunday and the TV wouldn;t work in the mancave. Followed your directions and the tv turned right on. No more pouting from hubby! Thank You!!!!!!!
Unbelievable! This really worked! My husband thought I was crazy and
he was ready to pitch the TV and buy a new one. My fingers are crossed
this does the trick!
We recently did some in home remodeling and there was alot of fine
dust in the vents also.
Probably a good idea to vacumn the vents every now and again.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
This worked for me too. Recently did some remodeling and am hoping it was a dust problem. Thanks and let’s hope it stays this way.
I literally cant believe this worked! I am really happy i tried this and props to you dude you are a genius. Didnt work the first time u really gotta aim toward the base of the tv and blowdry for at least 5 minutes
Oh! thanks for the power of the internet – thanks for the info for how to fix the Sony Trinitron on/off switching problem. 5 mins with the blow dryer is all it took, TV switches on OK now. I agree with some of you, did not wish to buy new TV yet as the picture quality on the Trinitron is as good, if not better than some of the HD TV´s I have seen at friends.
my tv wont do anything! not even a lashing light.
Thanks for the tip- it took a few tries and a few days as i had to be out of town . I left it unplugged while I was gone. I plugged it in when I returned and it would not turn on. I Used the hair dryer and my vacuum chord when I returned-after a few tries it turned on! I turned it on and off before I had to leave, today and then turned it off. I returned home and had the same problem- flashing red light and it wouldn’t turn on. I unplugged it again and used the hair dryer- it took a few tries but it turned on, again. I am going to leave my TV on as I cannot foresee a life of having to blow dry my TV every time I want to turn it on! Thanks again for the info!
Thanks for this tip I searched all over the internet and this is the only thing that worked. Now I know what will be on our Christmas list this year a new T.V. Thanks again for the tip.
Blow dryer worked you are the man.
Awesome! I have a 34″ XBR and intermittently had the blinking standby light. It finally would not turn on at all but the standby light would blink 6 times. Did a quick search, found your site, tried the hair dryer and BAM came on on the first try. It has been raining here the last few days for the first time in a LONG time and we’ve had the windows open. I guess that humidity sensor is pretty sensitive. THANK YOU for posting the fix.
Omg!!! This worked perfect. I have a Phillips tv and it was doing the same thing. Thought i would at least try…and it totally worked. Tv turned on in one try and it doesnt make the buzzing noise it made before either. Still scared to turn it off though. But i will keep the blowdryer handy just in case. GREAT ADVICE!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!
i had the same 6 blinking reds issue. i read this and was about to order the necessary tools/material then did some more searching and found some people had used a blow dryer in the back bottom right corner into the vents. i just tried it and it worked! prior to using the blow dryer i had attempted to turn it on for an hour with no luck, only clicking of power then the blinking reds over and over….then right after the blow dryer into the vents i plugged it back in and tried the power twice and it came on!
This worked on the first try! You saved Monday night football!
Wow!! I felt really weird using a blow dryer on my Sony Triniton but this huge TV was me and wife’s gift to each other after we got married 11 years ago. When it started acting crazy we thought well it has done it’s time and maybe we need to let it go peacefully, but 11 years it’s llike a part of the family and after reading your post I would like to say thanks for helping me keep a memory and family member around for a while longer. Thanks for “Keeping It Simple”
What an awesome trick. It worked within a couple of minutes of using the blow dryer.
Our Sony trintron won’t turn on even with blowing with hair dryer. No green lights blinking nothing. Unplugged it and replugged –nothing.
because it is gaining popularity – can you also post some pictures of the best place to blow the dryer from ?
I have been trying to blow the dryer since yesterday and the TV is not turning on. It used to earlier. I am planning on cutting open the plastic grill on the right hand corner towards the end and hope that the heat penetrates sooner to wherever it needs to go. Is this even recommended..if so- whats the best way to cut open the plastic casing of the TV ?
Wow! It worked lyk majic man. Am all the way in ghana, africa. But hey, it workd lyk majic, thanks so much for this trick
Unplugged mine, used the hairdryer on high heat and very close to the cabinet at the location described for 3+ minutes. Plugged it in and it worked. Left the hairdryer on for and additional 3+ minutes for good measure. We will see about the longevity of the fix but good for now. Thanks.
My TV hasn’t turned on it over 6 months. I tried the hair dryer trick and it works. WOW!
It was giving 6 red blinks.
DUDE!!!!! it works!!!! my kv 34 hs420 waas acting up like you described I was getting 6 blinks. the set got put away until I saw this and after we moved it away from a window it sat 4 months near a heating vent It WORKS!!!!! going in my bedroom THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Tried it now the power won’t even show. Maybe I got it 2 hot?? Sony sucks!!
WOW! Anyone experiencing this same problem has gotta try this!!! Have a Sony Wega TV that wouldnt kick on. The power light just blinked 6 times but would start up. Went lookin on the internet for answers and wahlah! I found this page and decided to give the blow dryer a try. I turned the blow dryer on high and pointed it towards the vents near where the power cord connects to the back of the tv. I moved the dryer around in a small circular motion so that no one are would get to hot and did this for about a minute and a half. I then tried to turn on the set and it powered up like a champ! Leaving the tv on and just turning off the cable box is the best solution because the more you turn it off the more you will need to use the blowdryer technique to get it back on. Anyone know how to fix this problem permenently? Please let me know?
Thanks I took a vacuum and vacummed the dust out of the back of the TV and slots. so far so good.
THANK U SO MUCH!!!! Me and my husband were sooo upset.. After about 3 5 minutes trys your trick with the blowdryer worked!! thanks once again!!
Holy smokes Bat-Man!
It worked like a champ!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You are Awesome..it worked but now my blow drier won’t work…jk
I have exact same tv along with the exact same problem bit i tried it and it work properly .do i need to blow dry it longer? Help a brotha out!
My nine-year-old Sony Wega KV-36HS500 has been turning on only reluctantly for the past few weeks. Hit the power button, no picture, standby LED blinks six times. Until today, turning it on and off a few times always got it to eventually come to life. Today, no go, even after dozens of tries. Found this site and tried the hair dryer trick. Worked like magic. Amazing. THANK YOU! We are just leaving the TV on until we replace it next weekend. I will be sorry to see the old dinosaur go, but my wife is overjoyed because she has always hated this 240-pound monster.
This is amazing! Can’t quite believe it is the humidity here in AZ in the winter but have the same issue and so far unplugging and fiddling with the power button has worked for 3 days running. Once it is on, on/off has worked until powered down for the night. Can quite figure the logic for the hair dryer but there is some vodoo magic there somewhere. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the stand by but can’t attach any logic to this either. I missed what the “I C” was that some “handy” folks replaced.
I am thinking of going to the hassle of trying just vacuuming around the vents. It will be a hassle as the set is in niche that really looked great back before the days of LCD TVs and is now a big issue in getting to the 240# monster that cost $1800 6 years ago. Oh well, only $300/year as I feel that the ultimate demise is in sight.
BTW this is a KV-36HS420 and now that TV’s are disposable, I don’t imagine I’m going to pay a premium for a Sony.
Works! (so far)
i tried the hair dryer and the tv worked two weeks and stop working any
Thanks so much!!! Worked like a charm!
Thank you .. it works ..
