Possible causes for lines on screen for 52" Sony LCD

[Pioneerx01]

I do not have access to this TV, so I can't tell you much besides whats here. This is a 52" Sony, probably KDL-52XBR9, KDL-52Z5100 or KDL-52Z5500. Assuming that all connectors are seated properly, what are the most likely causes of this issue? There are reported lines and image blurriness on all inputs. I have my theories, but I do not want to taint the replays. If you have an opinion post it, even if it was listed already.

Sorry, for images, that is the best I was given.

Thanks

since the lines aren't consistent on these pictures, I say tab bonds.

the ghosting and lines are probably tab bonds or component failure on the ribbons

That is not a tcon board issue. For sure short in the COF on the tab ribbons built into the panel..this may be able to be mimicked out if you adjust the RGB gains in the service menu. I've done it.for people before but sometimes wont help much.

Probably an AUO panel

HI, i downloaded a Sony document on Italian TV forum that is called "TCon troubleshooting guide", in this there is some example screens listed as Tcon failures, one of those is equal to the defect you posted. Bye.

Can you post the documentation and image examples here? Thanks
Keep in mind that lines are not uniformed, and there is blurriness on the screen as well.

Probably something similar like this document. However your failure looks different to me.

Page 6.... it is not probably a so good document or a complete guide but anyway..

All of the pictures on page 6 show symmetrical periodic uniformity. The ones I am looking at do not; which puts a doubt in my mind. But still thanks for your input on this.

I'm not referring to those screens with vertical lines periodic, but the second picture, watch the effect (vertical blur) on the big characters (Sony), its very similar to those characters on your pictures... By
