    Solarized picture will be T-CON board. Check the GAMMA voltage on the test points on the T-CON board. Post the picture of the T-CON board.
    I do not know about the cause of the delayed on problem. No blinking LED during the delayed period?

      Where do I check the gamma points? Where are the test points?

        If you swapped the mainboard couldn't be possible that that mainboard was set for another panel format and could also be the cause of the solarized picture?

        I have a toshiba that's doing this exact issue not as bad as your as my picture is full on the screen and sometimes looks almost normal. I am going to access the service menu and tinker with the panel display options see if it cannot fix the issue before trying to fix the t-con. T-con on my toshiba is buried and hard to access when the set is put together I have to figure out how to run it in pieces to get voltage readings from the T-con!


        Interested to see how yours turns out!

          As budm asks - "Post the picture of the T-CON board." Personally I suspect main board as Shinju suggests, it is not smooth enough to be gamma and the image also appears the wrong size... but it's always good to be thorough.

                                Then just post each voltage reading of all those test points then.

                                  I would look into the service menu before doing all this footwork that might be able to be avoided.

                                  I just fixed a Toshiba with a Solarized picture as stated above, I am assuming someone swapped the mainboard out and powered it on and saw that the screen was all mucked up and tossed it out. I found out that the panel output settings were wrong and the RGB CUT and DRIVE settings were also set to wrong output and cause the solarization of the picture.

                                  I am thankful too because a new T-con would not have fixed the problem and the T-con for the 37HL17 is not only spendy its the only one that works for this unit (no shared parts) and rare as heck to find. The Toshiba Service menu was all in Hexadecimals and short hand abbreviations and not easy to navigate but it was doable.

                                  I set all the service menu tuning modes back to stock via the service manual and went from there.

                                  Budm and Tom are pro's and will set you right, I am not saying don't be thorough but check the service menu first it might save you some money! I am no professional just merely giving my advice since I just had to deal with a panel with this issue!

                                  Just make sure to write down all your previous settings first because once you change them there is no going back VIA reset/factory reset as you are pretty much flashing/re flashing the bios.

                                  Good luck!

                                      You will need the remote, I know some like Pioneer PDP's don't but 90% of the other ones do. Being that this is a Sony it will require it.

                                      http://www.ebay.com/itm/SONY-REMOTE-...item27de4e3441


                                      I keep a box of remotes around for this sort of thing, quite a few off brand LCD's use the stock Samsung remote perfectly find but Toshiba,Coby,Sony and Westinghouse seem to only worth with their own brand name remotes. You can try a universal remote but I don't know if that will work.

                                          Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                                          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...

                                          Hello all,
                                          I’ve tried to repair TVs in the past with some luck. Toms repair manuals got taken down and now thats a bit harder.
                                          I picked this TV up hoping for a quick fix. When the TV would power on, only the backlights would come on. The owner told me they heard loud screeching before it shut off. This alone makes me want to think the main board has an issue.
                                          As I researched, I found the TCON/driver boards were an issue on this unit. I went in troubleshooting the TCON but found good voltages on the TCON. I followed shop jimmys guide to test the transistors and they seem okay....

                                          by maxim2511
                                          My Oled Tv is 55inch tv, 3 days ago I notice that middle of the screen is getting warmer and on picture I have ghosting, missing red color. Color red was still displaying, but it was not so strong as corners of the screen and watching some movies makes me angry.
                                          Then I get an idea to take it apart and clean boards from dust.
                                          In side of Tv was not so bad, I take compressed air in can, and gently blow up.

                                          Also I was thinking to styrofoam sponge to isolate power board from screen that the middle of the screen will not worm so much. Because Led on screen when gets higher...

                                          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...
