    Sony KDF-46E3000 dark picture

    I have a sony lcd projection tv with a dim picture. The lamp led on the front of the tv does not flash and I do not get a "lamp near end of life" error on the screen. Could it still be the lamp or what else could cause this?

    thanks
    Mike

          If not the lamp it will be the light engine.

            LG 65UK6090PUA - picture dark
            by Danstona
            Was watching this set, and suddenly it went dark. Picture is still visible, just very dark. Tried checking all settings, adjusting brightness to 100% no change. Reset through menus, no change.
            bought used boards from ebay (power and input boards) replaced with same results, changing brightness does seem to have a slight affect.. but not to normal visibility of picture.
            I'm handy, fixed TVs before.. I can't see any issues with boards... hoping someone can point me in the right direction to properly diagnose. I don't believe the LEDs are caput, since the picture is on and equal...

            Issue with picture quality of Sony bravia TV
            by CyberPhoenix
            Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,...

            Sony XBR-85X950G Gray horizontal lines and vertical picture shift diagnosis?
            by noisykid
            5.5 year old 85 inch Sony Bravia X950G started showing gray horizontal lines across the bottom of the screen and the picture shifts slightly vertically when it happens. The lines sometimes get bigger/smaller vertically and bounce back. See the video for the problem. It seems to be happening after it warms up after an hour or so. Happens regardless of source. Right now there's nothing but power cable connected and it's happening. We did hook up a new Nintendo Switch to our HDMI switching receiver today, and played for a while with no issues, but this problem didn't occur til a few hours later while...

            Panasonic TH-65FX800A backlight LED's working but picture is very dark
            by Bazfletch3
            Hi all

            While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).

            I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.

            From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...
