    I know my Sony's T-Con is bad...but what else?

    I've got a Sony KDL-V5100. It very suddenly (soon after turning it on today), displayed colored vertical lines on the left side of the screen...as seen in the first pic.
    When I press the menu button, the lines change to a wider pattern...as seen in the second pic.
    I removed the back to check to see if the ribbon cables were seated correctly and everything looked fine, so I removed the T-Con...as seen in the third and fourth pic.
    The back if the T-Con revealed the culprit...as seen in the last pic.

    My questions are:
    Is this a result of something else that may need to addressed?..or is it safe to assume that whatever that little part is that burned up (I'm assuming some kind of tiny fuse) is the failure point. In other words, something like the main board or power board wouldn't cause this fuse on the T-Con to blow...would it?

    I've searched for this part with the number shown in the third pic (46NN_MB4C4LV0.7) and I'm not finding anything. I believe it to be part # LJ94-029374...can someone please confirm the part number? The number on the sticker on the inside of the TV is LTY460HF07.

    Are there substitute parts?

    Thanks,
    Shane

    To replace the t-con the set should work. If not then the panel is bad, not repairable.

      my friend got service manual in romanian how can you repair panels "its not imposible" because some trace fail and you need to make some other trace
      Just cook it! It's already broken.

        If that component on the t-con failed, it could be because the panel went bad. Whilst not always impossible to repair some panel faults like tab bond issues, it's sometimes impossible. And things like corroded ribbons, burnt traces on the ribbons, cut ribbons? Not repairable at all.

          Looks to me like an MLCC capacitor. They usually fail short circuit, like what probably happened here. My guess is that it could be partially shorted, pulling down a voltage rail and causing the screen to display a whacky image. However, it is just a guess...

          How would a bad panel cause an MLCC capacitor to short?

            Could have shorted a low voltage rail to a high voltage one (3.3V to 15V for example.) That would be rare though.

              Re: I know my Sony's T-Con is bad...but what else?

              I bought a used T-Con on EBay that should be here this coming Wednesday.

              The heat sink system on this board looks like junk. 1/8" thick thermal pads connected to a thin aluminum shield?...really? If these chips get anywhere near as hot as some of my graphics card chips, there's no way this heat sink system is good for the long haul.

              Has anyone ever modified the heat sinks on these boards with some decent heat sinks like some that I can salvage from old computer parts. Then install them with thermal paste or high-end thermal tape that's not 1/8" thick? Maybe even add a small fan.

                You could possibly use a heatsink that is off of a motherboard south bridge or north bridge. You will need to secure the heatsink so it won't come loose or slide off.

                    Bud is that a Westinghouse? Im literally working on one right now that looks like yours. The picture would scramble randomly, but it's been running for awhile now with the cover open. I just got done putting some of that tab bond material you recommended on the large IC which seems to get the hottest and closed it back up. I don't think I have a heat sink that will clear the main and power board box.

                      Yes, the picture will start rolling and scramble after warm up, that heat sink fixed last about a year, then the T-CON board finally gave up.

                        Ive had it running for about 2 days with the cover off with no problem. But when I got it back initially it happened fairly quick. The whole panel on this TV gets really hot, then everything gets enclosed tightly in metal. I was thinking of throwing a small fan in there but not much room where it's really needed.

                          The present heat sinks are passive...no fan...I'm thinking about adding an exhaust fan just outside the area of the T-Con.

                          I might use a usb powered fan: USB Fan.

                          I guess it would be OK to run that fan (it's 5V) off of the TV's usb port all the time???

                            by x_orange90_x
                            Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...

                            by advant
                            This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                            I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                            by Hakuu
                            Hi There,

                            This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                            After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                            Hello everyone,

                            I've recently been given a Sony 8k Z8H. It's got a white screen with two vertical black bars. At times it's given me the 5 blink Tcon code. Testing voltage on the Tcon I can see some low or missing voltage. I've done a basic visual check of cables and the COF. Not seeing anything obvious. The original Tcon seemed to have good caps until turning it over. On the bottom I found maybe 10 caps with both sides of the caps shorting to ground. I thought ok these caps and likely other components on the Tcon are shorted so let's try a replacement Tcon. I just received the...

                            by alltvrepairs
                            Hi,
                            i have a 65 Panasonic TX-65HX710E using vestel 17MB170 main and Lg tcon.

                            Few drops of water fell probably near COF and have no display. Tried removing tabs but no.part of display present as if tcon fuse open. However 12v is present and tcon can be felt warm enough that supplies are present. Backlight and sound ok.

                            Anyone knows if this TCon 6870c-0805A has any special test pins for rgb test?

                            Appreciate your help....
