This Sony Sync TV Data Cable links your TV to the external Sony ACDP power adapter. It carries DC power and the low-speed ID/sync signal so the TV can recognize the adapter and power on at the correct wattage. (Not HDMI/USB; no audio/video.)

TV won’t power on with the ACDP adapter connected

Random shut-offs or power-cycling/boot loops

“Adapter not recognized”/status LED error patterns related to the DC-in lead

Intermittent startup (works only after multiple tries)

TV won’t wake from standby or loses power when moved/bumped

Loose, damaged or missing original DC-in/sync cable
