Vertical colour lines on whole screen

Hi,

Please double check that the vertical lines are present across all channels. If so, you might attempt a factory reset of the tv to attempt to remove the vertical lines. If this does not work, please shutdown your tv for 10 minutes (including unplugging the power cord) and then turn the tv back on and check for the lines.

Thank you.

that isa capacitor at vertical area mostiy 1000 uf to 22000 /35volts

Hello,

All Plasma and LCD TV have boards that control vertical and horizontal output to their respective areas. They are connected to the screen by ribbon cables. If one of these boards fails all together, has a failed chip, a bad connection, or a bad ground somewhere it will result in a black line in the area of that board. A bad ribbon cable connection on the bottom will result in a vertical black bar though the screen. Many times resetting the connection will fix it, if the ribbon cable has been nicked there could be a severed connection. They an sometimes be fixed, but it is a pain. An yes I have done it, but the bar is gone. The same will happen if the chip that outputs to that area opens. The connectors are the first place to look paying close attention to the cable, they are extremely delicate so great care must be taken . Good luck in solving the problem....

first try to reset the settings to factory default. if that doesn't work, you have a main board issue.

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. I turned on the TV and it had colored vertical lines through the whole screen. I called Sony and they had me unplug the TV for about 15 minutes. This solved the problem. They said the boards just needed to be reset. It fixed the problem and I am happy with my Sony once again.

A line on an LCD, either horizontal or vertical usually means the video driver board is defective or the screen is defective, does it show up as black even on a dark screen? That means a line of LCD "shutter"s is not working and there is a problem that cant be fixed by a reboot or channel change. Bummer.

Most likely it's the LCD panel failure. You can replace the panel if you can find a spare part. But the new panel may cost you as much as to buy a new tv. Hope that will help you.

hi there, you do have a vertical section problem and at the power supply section problem. do some test, check for some cold solder at the power supply section, test some electrolytic capacitor at the vertical section. ty
