    FRCTC 12C error Sony KDL-43W805C

    Hi, guys. I swapped the T-Con board of this tv - Sony KDL-43W805C related to this post and colored vertical lines etc.... So i do not have this lines now but i am facing another issue. The picture from the menu is going destroyed sometime. I cannot explain exactly but there are some photos:

    And this distortion or so is showing when i am switching something in the menu. So i cannot see these lines on the picture from the channels only in the menu.
    Sometimes when it is starting then it is just switching off in few seconds and red is blinking 5 times. I checked in the service menu and saw this error - FRCTC l2C


    I believe the first 6 digits are linked with the date of the error and the next ones may be the hours etc... I could not find almost anything on Internet about this error - only few post in some Polish and Hungarian forums but nothing interesting.
    When the TV starts with no issue it is working as normal except these lines on the menu. But the picture from the channels is normal.
    I tried and something else - when these 5 red blinks are shown i just disconnect the ribbon cable from the main board to the T-Con. In this case the TV starts normal and then i am connecting that ribbon cable back and everything is ok - working normal. I cleaned all the ribbons cable, checked all connections and cannot understand where this problem is coming from. I believe the key is behind this error - FRCTC l2C. But cannot find anything. Any help will be appreciated.

    P.S. I think this Backlight err from the self diagnostic menu is old.

    If you haven't already, do a factory reset and a firmware update if possible, lots of times you can't find the firmware because apparently sony thinks it's a good idea to take it off the site.

      I haven't did factory reset yet. Just was thinking about it but still did not. Yeah i will but do not believe it will help. About the firmware update - i did it few months ago and it is with the last one. So i do not have options talking about the update.

          Doesn't that frctc 12c error refer to the frc board, they are usually pretty cheap to buy a replacement from ebay or the like.

              Yeah it could be. Just wanted to have more info before to buy the next board as may be I will need to buy another one T-Con matching the sticker's number with my one.

                I believe you clear them in the service menu, BUT you could brick the tv if done wrong.

                  Oh I see, yes you need to match those sticker numbers to insure a match.

                    I will check the new board if it is not the same as it is already installed in the TV. I am just curious what this error could means.

                      You sure it isn't 6 blinks? 6 could be panel detect error.

                        No, 5 blinks for sure. That can be seen from the self diagnostic info - the last date is 26.10.2020. I am away now for few days and did check it in the last 2 days. But i believe this 6 blinks error is something old from 2019y.

                            Help. Sony kd-65x85dj vertical lines
                            by visionbluedemon
                            First. it has no picture at all. i solved it by covering the ckv lines using tape to to block the connections

                            Second. now has picture but with vertical lines that follow the image. tcon board ic overheating

                            tried blocking LC lines too, but same results




                            is it lcd panel issue or tcon board issue?...

                            Sony XBR-65X750D Horizontal lines bottom of screen
                            by ggil44
                            Hi, I have a Sony XBR-65X750D that has horizontal lines at the bottom 6 inches of the screen. These lines appear to be every other line because the picture is still quite visible behind those lines. The lines appear all the time with a few other lines above and below the 6 inch level blinking on and off at about 2 second intervals. I'm not sure if this is a panel issue or power supply/main board problem. I did replace the T-Con board without any change in the problem. Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
                            05-30-2023, 07:51 PM

                            Hello again everyone,

                            This is my latest mission, to try getting this Sony tv back to normal working order…

                            I've only just got it today, when you power it up everything is as should be, in fact it works perfectly for a few minutes then the screen starts getting horizontal lines on & eventually the full screen goes back, I will upload photos of the problem & also some photos of the board etc. You might notice that I'm busy trying the tape method, I'm not sure exactly where the clock lines are so I'm just guessing & hoping for the best lol . I've already tried...

                            Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
                            by noisykid
                            5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...
