Have a Sony LCD Model KDL-46Z4100 with approximately 2 abnormal 3 inch vertical bars around right of center. You'll also see the screen to the right of these vertical bars are darker than the left side of the LCD. The unit is about 5 years old and no issue since purchased new. Bars stay on 24X7 without any changes due to temperature or duration of using the TV. Noticed these bars are only visible if the screen has a lighter background and are completely unnoticeable when background is black or certain darker colors. Basic service diagnostics show good with about 4,000 hrs on unit. I have not seen any example of this posted online. Have you seen this before?
Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
There is a small chance the motion FRC on the t-con is causing this.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Could the T-con board also cause issues with the Ethernet? Possibly the Ethernet failed years ago but I never knew because it was not being used. I'll take a close look at the t-con board for obvious failures. Will report back with my findings.Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
The t-con could not cause an ethernet problem. The ethernet is main board only.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Tom66. Thanks for the clarification on the t-con not affecting the Ethernet port. Would like to clarify my findings. The right half of the screen is darker than the left. There is a lighter colored bar (reddish/yellowish) which is 3" in width that runs vertically from top to bottom that displays on top of this darker area. This colored bar appears only when there is a lighter color behind it which is shown in the picture attachments.Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
I have seen that effect with motion FRC failure, but I cannot be certain it is not a panel fault. Does this TV have 100/120Hz feature or similar?Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Now I'm getting somewhere. If I choose to "freeze" the picture, the abnormal dark area and discolored vertical bar displays on the right but a picture in picture appears on the bottom left. This PIP continues to display the current program without any display abnormalities. This means the system is rendering the video properly but only on the left.
Does this indicate a failed panel on the right?Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
It indicates -either- a panel or t-con fault, and in my opinion by looking at the noise it is most likely t-con.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

No way to confirm to be certain... I had problems with or without 100Hz turned on on my Samsung LE40A656 I fixed.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
It's not possible the connectors are mirrored, at best it would not work and at worst it will kill your panel.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Did you remove the ribbon cables and did you clean all the connectors?
There are like three T-con board for this TV, it all depends which panel do you have.
They are really expensive and there are only a couple of them available.Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Tom66. Glad I did not try to move the ribbon cables so thanks for the heads up. I'm attempting to confirm the issue before investing in something that could be beyond economical repair.
What is typically used to clean the contacts on the T-con ribbon cables?Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Now is it normal for the T-con board to buzz? It's coming from the right side of the board when facing the LCD.Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
Yes, a slight buzz is normal, you're hearing the vertical refresh rate of the panel.Originally posted by PeteS in CARemember that by the time consequences of a short-sighted decision are experienced, the idiot who made the bad decision may have already been promoted or moved on to a better job at another company.Comment

Re: Vertical Bars - Tab or T-Con?
I thing it coming from the round inductor for the switching power supply, the TFT drive ICs may be bad and drawing too much current. See post10

The vertical bar on the screen can be caused by bad TFT drive ICs.

Budm - I believe your spot on. You have now showed me the light but dont wanna look at it! I'm starting to face reality that the panel is toast.
Yes, the G4 Power Board is making a low buzzing sound along with the higher buzzing sound from the T-con.
The document you provided explains the IC issue better than the other document I read by Sony.
Thanks for your support and time. Now let me find an LCD that I can repair as this one has me beat.
Cheers!Comment

by Daren87Hello 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 x_orange90_xJust 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 advantThis 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... -

This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....-

by x_orange90_xI posted about this previously but didn't get any response, and I have some troubleshooted a bit so I have more info.
The screen is full of horizontal "gaps" or lines that distort the picture badly, and after about 10 seconds of powering it on the screen starts to fill with red vertical bars that take on the horizontal pattern. After the screen filled with the red bars, they instantly vanished and then slowly started to reappear. I initially thought it was tab bonding failure, but after getting down to them and pressing each one I find zero change in the picture. I went... - Loading...
