@vywsss bad panel really means bad LCD driver boards. those are teh long skinny boards that are teh first ones that are connected to teh LCD panel. They use some ribbon cables that are connected via a special bonding procedure. These boards are not replaceable by the DIY'er or even most pro's due to the way they are constructed.

Commonly the 5 blink code refers to your back lights as well as the T-con board. Since you already replaced the T-con board, it is possible that your TV's issues are related to failed backlight strips. Sony TV's use a voltage sensing circuit that "knows" when the back lights are not working. That is most commonly caused by a failed backlight strip. You can get an inexpensive LED backlight tester and see what it shows you.

The 5 blink code of this model is caused by:
-
Here is the bad part.If it is not your backlights, it is your panel. To Try and fix that, you can try a Tape-Off. Essentially that means you isolate some of the data lines on the ribbon cables going to the driver boards. There are plenty of videos on YT that will tell you how to proceed.

Panel ID EEPROM I2C No ACK
-
Anyhow, my take on this is, bad backlights first. After that a tape off. None of this is really complicated or difficult. Yes, it is a PITA to replace the LED backlight strips but only because the LCD is flimsy and loves to flex. Make sure you got an extra pair of hands while you work on it.

(Also panel power failure is a suspect) [P_ID_ERR]

Hope this makes sense and it's not to much technobabble. Let me know if something needs a better explanation :-)

Data corruption in EEPROM[P_ID_ERR]

and referring to the Triage chart for this model the T-con module is considered the primary suspect followed by the panel.

If you still have the back cover open, takes some good pictures of your boards and the interconnect cables. Post those with your Question. That way we can see what you see.
