    Sony KDL XBR6, rows of lines

    I have a Sony KDL XBR6 that has lines in 6" wide sections. I tried heating up the plastic stripes on the panel, improved a little. Attached are some pictures of what it looks like now. When it first powers up the whole left side is all lines and then you can slowly see them fad away to what the pictures are. The menu does look to be clear. The built in sample photos that are loaded on the tv look like the screen in the picture. Some are clear and some show the lines. All inputs do the same thing. Twisting or moving screen around does not change (like some other post suggested) Do you think this is a T-con board or the main board issue or both? Any help will be appreciated.

    Re: Sony KDL XBR6, rows of lines

    If the OSD (i.e. menus) is clear it is almost certainly the main board; the main board is the only part that can distinguish between source video and OSD graphics, the panel and T-con just display what the main board tells them to. However, the symptoms look a lot like a bad panel. Can you try getting up a menu that covers most of the screen; do the glitches affect the menus?

      You can see the lines thru the menu more so when it is white, colored lettering doesn't seem to show the lines as bad, you have to look close to see them. So it sounds like the panel is bad? Is there a way to check the main board?

        Maybe the menus can be translucent?

        Try my suggestion of getting a menu which covers the whole screen (or a good amount) to come up. It doesn't look like a panel problem. Looks like maybe a damaged RAM chip. (Not easy to repair, but the main board can be replaced.)

          Thanks, I will check that out and let you know. I found a new board on ebay that wasn't to bad in price. Maybe order that tomorrow and see what happens. If it doesn't work I can always resell board. Thanks again for your help.

            Well, I got the new board today and installed it. Same problem as before. All lines on left side and after a few minutes it looks just like the pictures in original
            post. Could it be T-con board or is the panel itself bad?

              It could still be the T-con, but a bad panel might be able to cause the same symptoms. Did you see if a menu had the same problem?

                The menu looks be clear, I don't have anything on the menu that fills a lot of the screen. But what I can see seems to be clear. I had the tv on and I took off one ribbon at a time off the T-con board, there are four ribbons that go to the panel, when I take the outside ones off the screen turns white about 1/4 of the way in on each side and don't see the square pattern. Then I took off one of the inside ribbons and half the panel was white without square looking pattern. So I am thinking it might be the T-con board.

                  The T-con is the only board left which could easily cause these symptoms. I don't think the panel is bad but wouldn't guarantee it.

                    It's been about a month now and I can not find a T-con board anywhere for this set. I have tried sending the board out to get repaired and they can't even get parts to repair it. Does anyone know if there is any other boards that would work in here? Or of any place that sells boards? I even called Sony and they can't get the part. What's a Fella supposed to do?

                      What is the model number on the t-con? Did you try ebay?

                        Re: Sony KDL XBR6, rows of lines

                        Board number is 404652ASNC6LV4.5, there is a label on it which has 2383H. I have tried Ebay many times and have not found one. I have sent it to ModusLink to see if they could repair it, and they told me they could not get parts to fix it. I have tried Craigslist in just about all the major cities and found nothing. I have looked all over the web with no luck.
                        I even tried Sony authorized dealers and they say they can't even get parts. I am stuck with a nice big peace of junk right now. Thanks for replying.

                          look for a busted screen unit cheap.
                          agree it looks like a tcon.
                          last one i had looked good on a bright scene but had the lines in the background on dark scenes.

                            Why not post the WHOLE model number? Then you can get the Sony part number and search for that.
