    Sony KDL52W3000 issue (Bunch of pics to help)

    Hey guys, First post here hopefully someone can help me out. I am comfortable with testing live circuits and should have all tools needed to repair or test most electronics.


    I have a Sony KDL-52w3000 TV that is coming on after a few on and off cycles (about 2-4). Sound works every time. Back light works every time. When the picture comes on everything seems great except for what seems is "Lag" on the far left side. The green "power light" comes on and stays solid like I figure it's suppose to. I do not hear any weird sounds coming from the TV I keep reading that a lot of T-con boards and main boards tend to go bad on the Sony TVs. I just need help figuring out if either is the issue.

    Here are all the general pictures of the TV. If you need a specific one please let me know.

    Thank you in advance!

    Rob

    This is a bad LCD panel.

    It may be repairable. Different symptoms, same cause: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHst6pKLtTE

      Thank you for this video! It helped me realize that I didn't have the tv apart enough...opened it up more... Pressed on a few tabs/ connectors and now it's working fine..


      Another question is.... The image seems a little out of focus. Could this be a tcon board issue? Also, I don't have the remote so I don't know how to get it into 1080p mode instead of 1080i... Don't know if 1080i could be my focus issue... Just comparing it to my 42" LG at 720p(wall mounted until Sony fixed).

      Any help is greatly appreciated!

        The TV will display the resolution of the Video source, if the source is 720p, it will display 720p, the source dictate the resolution. It works the same way as your computer monitor, the resolution is set by the PC (as long as the monitor can handle it) not at your monitor.
        So what did you use to fix the tab?

          Sony Universal or other universal remotes will work. The Sony model will cost about $10.
