Sony bravia kdl46bx420 colored lines across screen LCD panel or Tcon board?

The lines are bluish in color and appear to be transparent which are on top of the images. At first, the lines are not noticeable then they started appearing more. Could this be a bad lcd or a tcon board? Been doing research on google but still can't confirm if it's just a board or the panel.

SOURCE: Sony Bravia KLV-40U100M-screen is distorted, overlay or various vertical lines

The resolution on this was to check the surge protector the television was plugged into. Once we unplugged and plugged into another surge protector, the screen went back to normal and the appearance was great. We believe this was due to one of the resistors within the surge protector may have become faulty.

SOURCE: My SOny Bravia 40 inch LCD TV has a vertical line

Hi,

It could be 1 of 4 things:
1. One of the ribbon cables has worked itself loose (Simple Fix)
2. One of the assembly boards maybe faulty
3. The driver board which feeds the panel maybe faulty
4. The panel is faulty

The driver board in the UK costs approx £70 and approx £35-70 to fit it if this is the fault.

All other parts are between £80-160 and approx £35-70 to fit it if this is the fault.

The panel will cost approx 50-75% of what the TV was worth when you bought it - "Repair versus Replacement"

Thanks

SOURCE: I have a sony Bravia KDL-52W3000 LCD tv. Approx.

I have the same tv with the same problem. My tv is about 3 1/2 years old. I took it to the shop yesterday and today they told me that I had a bad lcd panel and a bad FL1 circuit board. They also told me it was going to be $3800.00 dollars to fix. I am now on my way to buy another tv, needless to say it will not be a Sony. Sony knows about this problem and refuse to do anything about it. Good luck.

Sony bravia kdl-46w4100 moving vertical lines

Check the main filter capacitors at its power regulator board. Replace if found bulged or damaged. Replace all secondary side supply rails' filter capacitors too. The fault is with damaged electrolytic capacitors at the power regulator board itself.

I have 2 sony bravia with freezed dark vertical lines across it making that potion darker in color

If problem is one side or one half of the picture this LCD may have an inverter issue--Google the model number with either "inverter" or Parts to see if the issue is known.

Lines that are black usually are either a "handshake" issue where boards are not communicating properly or a bad board or even a bad display unit (main screen Panel) which is fatal.

This requires testing and or replacing boards to see if a board or the Display panel is causing this issue.

I have a 46 inch Sony Bravia 46 XBR4 set. The right side went out only colored lines appear. The rest of the screen is fine. email address [email protected].

Sounds like the tcon (timing control) board. Sometimes unplugging the LVDS cables from the tcon, cleaning and reconnecting solves this. The catches on the LVDS cables are easily damaged and must be handled carefully.

Hi,my Bravia started to have color stripes on 1/2 of my viewing screen,and now, i can only see 1/2 picture,hic,,Help !

T-Con board is part of lcd panel and lcd panel seems defective in your tv problem.
Call Sony/ Store if tv is still under warranty for cover or lcd panel replacement would cost you 80% of new tv price.

Sony bravia LCD KDL52 TV: blurred picture with color bands

It is most likely the TCON board (located at the top right against the LCD panel). When these boards have problems, they can act up when cold or warmed up.

You will want to check with any extended warranty company you might have, or Sony's part website for the availability of the TCON board.

The problem here is, sometimes those TCONs are not made available separately and need to be replaced with the screen.

If you have to replace the panel, buy a new tv. You'll save yourself a costly repair.

I have a Sony Bravia LCD 46". The set is 1 year old. When I turn the set on in the morning the colors are blurry and run across the screen. This lasts no more than a minute , it just started doing this for...

Could be 2 things:

1. Main board (BU board)

2. TCON board


Option 1: replacing the main board will run you a few hundred bucks for the Board and $300 in labor (or so) to get it installed.

Option 2: replacing the TCON means you might have to replace the whole screen (some TCONs are not available separately). A quick phone call or visit to Sony's part website will be able to determine which you need.

If you need to replace the screen, buy a new tv. The panels are amazingly, painfully expensive.

Now, there's a way to test which one is causing it, but you'll need to be quick.

For this experiment you will need: a screwdriver, a hair dryer, and some guts.

Take the back off the set, fire up your hair dryer and fire away at the TCON board (located at the top; it's a small board under a metal shield--you can't miss it).

Really warm up the metal shield and circuit board.

Now, plug in your tv and turn it on. If you don't see blurry colors and everything looks normal, you know it is the TCON board.
