this is a failure of the back lights.

from the troubleshooting section in the service manual:

6X Blink - Backlight System Failure

If the inverter circuits fails to generate high voltage or one or more of the backlight lamps fails to light, the television will shut down and display this diagnostics error. Observing for the presence of backlighting is crucial in determining which component is likely at fault.

If the backlights turn on before the 6X shutdown occurs, it is safe to assume that the inverter circuits are functioning and one of the lamps failed to ignite. Replacing the LCD panel is necessary. If the backlights never turn on before the 6X shutdown, the inverter has failed. If the inverter is available for replacement, replace the inverter. If the inverter is not available, replace the LCD Panel.

since then the panel has become NLA, so you should contact Sony and see what they can suggest: http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=KDL46EX520&LOC=3
