Line, faults & possible causes to LCD screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent.
In most cases is the screen is covered with vertical lines all the way accross the screen then the T-Con module is at fault. The t-con board is replaceable without having to replace the entire LCD panel which would usually make it cheaper than replacing the TV. The part number I come up with is 1-857-213-11. Please take a moment to rate my answer. Thanks...
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.
If you are using component cables to connect the DVD to the tv make sure you have the red,blue and green colors on your cables matching these colored jacks on the tv and DVD jacks. If one of these cables is plugged in wrong or not plugged in it could cause this. Good Luck
