I purchased a Sony KDL-40s5100 bravia recently. I specifically asked the seller if it had the issue with ghosting that i had read about affecting other KDL models on this forum, and he lied and said it didnt. Luckily i paid very little either way and I thought there was a solution to those issues to add foam / pressure to 1 tab, which had worked for other people to remove the ghosting (like 3 videos on youtube showing how to do that fix).

I took mine compleatly appart and pressed down on all the tabs on both the glass and the board / applied a perfect strip of foam to the metal case so that where the tabs connect to the glass would all be pressed down extra hard and no luck, still have the ghosting.
Some slight differences between my issues and others > mine appears to affect the whole screen evenly, it all has a around 1 second delay to clear (1 second ghost). Most other peoples issue was only 1 side of the screen and usually got to be way worse then a second on the furthest edge of the problem side. Also all people with the issue had either the 46" or 52" models but I have the 40".
When i turn on the unit theres a purple/ pink defect that appears at the top / in horizontal bars, and then fades away in 1 second (see picture bellow), no one else has mentioned this.
When i get really close to my T-con i can hear a slight clicking noise at about 2 clicks per second.
So is it possible that I have a faulty t-con and not the tab issue that most other people with KDL sony's have. Are any of these common / possible failure signs of a bad T-con?
Ive also attached a picture of the tabs and boards after the T-con at the top of the panel. And a picture of the connector for the cables between the t-con and those boards (because i dont know how to remove this connector? it doesnt look like the plastic socket would flex enough for me to get the notches out ?) Until i figure out how to remove those cables I cant get to the top of the t-con to look for damage.
