    Sony KV-4000 Troubleshooting Questions

    I just acquired a KV-4000 that needs attention in the following 2 areas. Any assistance that you can provide is very much appreciated - thanks in advance.

    I am getting dark horizontal banding wherever there is a light area on the screen - for example, if there is a line of 1/2" white text on a light blue background in the center of the screen, then the whole 1/2" horizontal area will be a darker blue band there - the text is not smearing, and it is razor sharp. When watching a DVD through the video input, there will be numerous occurrences on the screen as the scene changes. I am not using the built in tuner, I am only using the monitor inputs. Not sure what this is, but adjusting brightness and contrast do not affect it.


    There are markings for horizontal centering and vertical centering on the board, but I do not see any adjustments on either side of the board - no VR pots, no switches, no plug in pin - the horizontal centering is way off to the left. How would I adjust this?

      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 XR-77A80K 5 Red Blinks Troubleshooting
      by Dogindelusion
      Hi everyone! I am a new member and am new to electronics repair. I have a background in electrical engineering, but little experience in electronics.

      I have a Sony XR-77A80K which will not turn on and has 5 blinking red lights in the stand-by light. I had previously done a forced factory reset, which removed the error code, and the TV regained functionality for a few weeks. I repeated the factory reset and again regained functionality. This happened a few times until I so I had to begin troubleshooting the error.

      Observations:
      1) I noticed I was not getting...

      Sony KDL-50W685A horizontal black lines Pattern
      by Raulnn
      good morning! I have a problem with this Sony. The image has a pattern of black horizontal lines, I attach a photo of the lines. The power supply is external and emits a sound. I don't think it's because of that. Let's see if someone can help me.

      Sony XBR65X900H TV with Horizontal Lines right half of screen
      by dvu0627
      I have a Sony Smart TV XBR65X900H that started to have horizontal lines on the right side of the screen (see attached picture). When I played video on Youtube green horizontal line at regular intervals(1/4") across the screen.
      I replaced the T-Con board but the lines are still there.
      I believe this issue is from the Main Board. Before I replace the Main board, I wanted to seek advise if this is the problem from the Main board or something else?
      Thank you for the help....

      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,
