    Re: Sony Bravia KDL-46S4100

    "Any one know if a upgrade for a kdl-46w4100 will work on my main board?" so did you use the kdl-46w4100 firmware (http://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-...d#/downloadTab) or you found the 46s4100 firmware (not on SONY web site).
    Do you have the link for download? Thanks.
    I found the instructions:

    I have 2 main boards n 3 tcons, 2 of the tcons give me baclklight when bl-on is unplugged solid color and the 3rd tcon gives me what looks like the age pattern when bl-on is unplugged, but nothing on all three when bl-on is plugged in, not even a menu, so I guess I ether got 2 bad main boards or I need to restore the firmware, why sony has no firmware on their site for these is a mystery to me. checked all the plugs on g board, they seem good.

Is there somewhere I can get a complete firmware download for this set. Any help would be appreciated.
    wondered if you sorted it out?

    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
    by Tynan Dill
    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

    Assuming...

    Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
    by jb_Bak
    Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

    Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
    Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
    CN6401
    Pin 01 NC
    Pin 02 NC
    Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
    Pin 04 "N/C"
    Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
    Pin 06 "GND": N/C
    Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

    Sony Bravia KDL-70W850B T-CON board / software update issue
    by eclectric
    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue before I give up on this TV.

    In short, I replaced the T-CON board due to an error code indicating that was the problem, after which it flashed a green and orange LED meaning software update required. I cannot get the tv to do the required update via USB, so I am stuck.

    Here is a rundown of the symptoms and the steps I have taken to troubleshoot:

    I inherited the TV with the symptom that it would turn on, then turn off after 5-10 seconds and a red LED flashed 4 or 5 times. Sometimes it would be 4, sometimes...

    TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
    by howardc64
    All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
    • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
    • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault
