    Kdl-40vl160 dark picture until warmed up

    Hey looking to pict this tv up possibly but I don't know where the issue might be. Person says the tv turns on and has a picture but it's dark and after it warms up its picture is fine and has no problems. Would this be in the back light maybe a ccfl bulb going bad. Or lcd display going out. She said if you turn it off after it's working fine and turn right back on it is dark again until it warms up. Maybe capacitor going bad. Let me know what you think

    99% sure it's tab bonds...
    I'd avoid it. The 40" Samsung panels used in these Sonys don't have a good track record for repair reliability.
    Some last but the vast majority can't be fixed for any longer than a few days.
