Hey All - Got a new repair I'm looking at, hoping for a little advice. Picked this TV (Sony Bravia KDL-40S2010) up free, was told "the light comes on, but it doesn't work". I brought it home, plugged it in, and the first thing I see is screen glow, which is a good sign. But then I notice there is a thin colorful vertical line on the screen. Not good, my brain immediately says bad panel possible.
I hooked up a HDMI feed and I hit the TV/Video button on the top of the TV. After a few presses, I find the HDMI input because sound starts coming out perfectly fine. The screen just continues to glow, but I notice a very slight shift in the glow, slightly brighter, very slight. No image, even with the flashlight test, etc. Just a steady backlight glow and sound.
Attached are some pictures. Note: I removed the cover from the TCON so you could see it. I'm thinking this is just a TCON board fix, but that colorful vertical line makes me think it might not be worth it. If the panel is bad, no sense in wasting $30-40 on a TCON.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help!
