SONY KDL-32L4000 - Vertical lines stretch slowly

[dotcalminc]

Hi. So I attempted to repair this unit and read up somewhere else on this forum that changing the t-con board should have addressed the issue. Well it didn't. So I decided to post this a second time, but in the right place this time (for greatest results)... Anywho. I power this unit on and get a display, and it takes about 5-15 seconds, but whatever is on the screen, slowly "leaks" vertically. This includes the OSD. Suggestions?

Thanks.

Bad panel. Repairable.
Same root cause, different symptoms:

I never buy lcd' with any vertical lines what so ever , odds are more often panel faulty than t-con. A White screen is another no no for me.

White screen is good. Usually T-con. I've bought quite a few like that and successfully fixed them.

Got one the other day with a white screen, turned out to be the tcon cable, somehow unplugged its self from the main board.

£60 profit for plugging a wire in

I avoid TVs with vertical lines, almost always bad panel.
