    Sony GDM-20SE2T5 (Multiscan 20SE II) picture disappears

    I've been given this monitor for free just before New Year's party, by one of the guests at the party. It behaves as follows: it starts up with no picture, then it shows up, then it goes away again and so on. It's like 2 minutes on 5 minutes off. The picture looks very good when it's on.

    I thought this was a problem with the tube heater but no, heater stays on. Same for all other voltages relevant to the CRT. After the picture has showed up once, when it disappears the display doesn't go fully blank, you can see faint outlines of the picture in dark grey. So i think the problem is on the signal board and not in the power supply or tube electronics.

    A service manual can be found here: http://www.eserviceinfo.com/download.php?fileid=27087 Any pointers are welcome.

    A working TV? How boring!

      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...

      Sony XBR 49x900E - Sound and backlight on but no picture
      by DKWS89
      Hey Guys,

      So a few months ago my Sony XBR 49x900e TV screen stopped displaying the picture but the backlight comes on and I still get sound when I use the remote and navigate to certain apps. I haven't checked anything with the meter yet but started with ordering some replacement boards. I've tried replacing the BMKS board (used from ebay) and also completed the firmware upgrade based on Nicks TV repairs youtube video. I've also replaced the TCON (twice) and PIB.

      All of these changes have resulted in the same issue with no picture. I've also tried disconnecting the ribbons...

      Sony KD-43XE8005 with sound, backlight, no picture
      by ronni
      I have a Sony KD-43XE8005 with no picture on the TV when powered on. Audio and backlight work ok when powering on. Solid white indication light showing on front of tv bezel.

      When removing the left hand ribbon cable from the T-con board, a white image is displayed on that half of the screen and a black screen is shown on the right. If I gently rub the ribbon cable on the right an image or purple black bars appear. The cable doesnt appear damaged, and if swapped with the other ribbon cable the same flickering symptoms can be seen.

      Removing the LVDS cable results in...
