I work on these Sony Bravia 46XBR and X3100's all the time they are usually all I fix. I had one that had a cracked screen and I scored a brand new panel for $100. The panel of course isn't really brand new it's from 2007 but it's supposedly never used. It also came with a T-Con board and interver boards.
I installed the new panel and at first all looked well but after a few minutes there was a slight glow around the edge of the screen and after a bit longer the screen would flash negative and flicker. I cleaned the ribbon cables from the T-Con board to the panel and that seemed to have helped allot now there is just the occasional snowy patch appearing on the screen.
I'm yet to do more work trying to find the problem but I'm hoping the issue could be in the T-con board or on the ribbon cable of the side where it goes into the panel which I have not cleaned because I would have to take the entire panel apart to get to them, when I buy more spray cleaner I may be able to get in there without removing them though.
What's everyone's opinion on this does it seem like symptoms of a faulty panel or a bad T-Con board?
