Unplug the TV for a bit.
Disconnect the TV from power. Wait a few minutes, and then plug it back in again. This will give your TV a hard restart. Once connected again, try turning it on.
Try a different outlet.
Plug your TV into a different outlet. If you're using a power strip, try plugging the TV directly into the wall outlet instead. If the TV powers on normally while connected to the wall outlet, the issue is with the power strip.
Check your cables.
Make sure your cables are inserted properly. Loose cables can cause issues with your device. If your power cable is loose, your TV will not get the power needed to boot up properly. If your HDMI cable is loose, you may not receive any video or audio signals. If you're using a TV with a media box, make sure the cable connecting the box and display is secure. If you suspect your cables are damaged, you'll need to order a replacement. When buying a new power cable, make sure to purchase it directly from Sony to ensure compatibility.
Disconnect all other devices.
Turn off your TV and remove all connected devices. This includes external speakers, consoles, and streaming sticks. Once disconnected, turn your TV on again using the remote or physical power button.
Check the air circulation.
Make sure your TV is in a well-ventilated area. If you have your TV in an enclosed area, check that there's enough room for air to circulate. If there's not enough room, dust can build up in your device and cause hardware issues. Depending on your area, you may need to protect it from humidity as well.
Factory reset your device.
Reset your device to factory settings. This process will reset the video calibration settings. If you don't want this to be reset, perform a power reset first. Otherwise, skip to the factory reset instructions. Power Reset: Unplug the TV's power cord. Wait 1 minute. Plug the power cord back in. Factory Reset: Unplug the TV's power cord for 1 minute. Plug the TV back in. Wait about 40 seconds for the TV to turn back on. On the remote, press and hold the Up Arrow button and Power button until Reset appears on the screen. Release the buttons.
Contact Sony.
Contact Sony for a replacement. In some cases, a Sony TV blinking 6 times can indicate an issue with a hardware component, and you'll need to order a replacement. If you're unfamiliar with electronic repair, visit Sony's Product Repair page to speak to an agent via Live Text or phone.
