Is there anyway to bring the menu up, if so is it distorted ?

mainboard huh? so how to test it? is there a way of testing that? there are not much components on the mainboard,actualy less then on the tcon i guess it cant be that hard to find. thank you in advance.

That isnt an As15 or gamma Ic fault. I would say mainboard tbh.

here a picture of the fault,


and another one of the backside of the tcon, i found some test points and in 2 of those there is a voltage jump from 2.xxV to 3.xxV not sure if that is normal, but i think its not, both of those test points lead on the backside of the board connected to a 8 pin chip with markings "4256bwp ST k008h" i wonder if that is the culprit, i know that tcons are in generally fixable as long as one can find out what the problem is, like for example some sony have a as15-f chip that needs replacing and that fixes it, this tcon does not have that chip on board so i wonder what the problem is, it could also be something else.

thank you very much in advance

Pictures of the fault please.

have you checked the flat heat-sealed under the metal frame of the display?

i suspect it is the t-con since it has vertical purple and white lines and a bit of grain.sometimes it gets worse sometimes a bit better, but the lines are always there, i might be something else, im not sure, i cleaned all the contacts with alcohol of the flex cable and the (LVDS cable on both sides) that is connected to the tcon to see if that fixes it, it did not change, it was still the same.
the kdl-40lx900 has the same tcon as the kdl-52lx900
no blinking no error code it just works, but the picture is as said with vertical liknes over the whole display in even spaces, sometimes a bit of green gets to the vertical purple/white lines
the tcon is CPWBX4351TPZF, oddly enough its a Sharp RUNTK4351TPZF

i would like to identify what is defect and repair the Tcon board since replacing it is not an option for me.
thank you very much in advance
