TV goes into safe mode with red blinking light (6 blinks)

My Sony Bravia KDL-42W674A goes into safe mode with a red blinking light (blinks 6 times) Eery time the Playstation 5 or the Satellite box tries to connect to the TV. The same happens when I try to access the TV Settings or Navigate to update the Software. Any suggestions on a fix?

Hi @marlikoen

According to the service manual a 6 blink error code indicates that there may be a problem on the "B" board. If not there then it may be the LVDS ribbon cable to the tcon board, the tcon board or worst case the LCD panel.

Here is an image showing the blink error code triage chart as well as the 6 blink error troubleshooting flowchart that may help.
