    Sony KDL-40V3000 picture getting brighter!

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm the new guy so a big hello to all

    I've a Sony Bravia KDL-40V3000 which powers up good with good picture and gradually turns slightly Bright/White over 30 min with slightly distorted picture.

    I have checked the T-CON board ribbon cables, removed them from sockets, cleaned and reseated. No change.

    I've also collected the following GAMMA voltages on the test points.

    VGMA 1. 15.32
    VGMA 2. 15.07
    VGMA 3. 14.93
    VGMA 4. 12.54
    VGMA 5. 11.75
    VGMA 6. 10.82
    VGMA 7. 10.17
    VGMA 8. 9.86
    VGMA 9. 8.23
    VGMA 10. 8.05
    VGMA 11. 7.84
    VGMA 12. 7.04
    VGMA 13. 6.84
    VGMA 14. 6.66
    VGMA 15. 5.08
    VGMA 16. 4.87
    VGMA 17. 4.42
    VGMA 18. 3.66
    VGMA 19. 3.01
    VGMA 20. 0.65
    VGMA 21. 0.51
    VGMA 22. 0.31

    These voltages are gradually dropping which makes me believe that the T-CON board is ok.

    Anybody got any ideas? I was thinks of replacing AS15-F but my voltage results are putting me off.

    Thanks in advance

    Paul

    Thats an As15 fault, replace that chip and all should be good They sometimes fail intermittently.

          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...

          Sony KD-75XF9005 grey Picture but Sound. TCON or panel?
          by iglitare
          Hi,

          i want to repair a Sony KD-75XF9005 TV that initially only showed a grey picture.
          Backlight seems to work, Sound (Setup menu after reset) works.
          If i dissconnect the left FFC cable from TCON to panel i have half a screen on the right. If left cable is connected always only the grey screen.
          Interchanged the cables, its always only the right side that is working. Always grey if left side is connected.
          With my small knowledge i would think at least the cables are good.

          Can this happen because of a bad tcon board?
          Or is it always a bad/shorted...

          Sony XBR 49x900E - Sound and backlight on but no picture
          by DKWS89
          Hey Guys,

          So a few months ago my Sony XBR 49x900e TV screen stopped displaying the picture but the backlight comes on and I still get sound when I use the remote and navigate to certain apps. I haven't checked anything with the meter yet but started with ordering some replacement boards. I've tried replacing the BMKS board (used from ebay) and also completed the firmware upgrade based on Nicks TV repairs youtube video. I've also replaced the TCON (twice) and PIB.

          All of these changes have resulted in the same issue with no picture. I've also tried disconnecting the ribbons...

          Sony KD-43XE8005 with sound, backlight, no picture
          by ronni
          I have a Sony KD-43XE8005 with no picture on the TV when powered on. Audio and backlight work ok when powering on. Solid white indication light showing on front of tv bezel.

          When removing the left hand ribbon cable from the T-con board, a white image is displayed on that half of the screen and a black screen is shown on the right. If I gently rub the ribbon cable on the right an image or purple black bars appear. The cable doesnt appear damaged, and if swapped with the other ribbon cable the same flickering symptoms can be seen.

          Removing the LVDS cable results in...
