    Sony KDL-46XBR5 "RIP"

    The TV was brought to me several months ago with bad ghosting and imaging on the upper-right side.

    Turned out to be a TAB-bonding issue. Found the exact bad-spot, and glued/taped it together as best I could (BTW, Check out budm's great thread on repairing tab-bonds!). It held together on the bench running continuously for almost 2 weeks, even with me poking at the repair-area. Finally had enough confidence in it that I re-gifted to my wife's boss, with the caveat that it's 'as-is'. Her kids are big video-game players, so it was a good match.

    Got it back 2 days ago, and she said it was doing the same thing. I was reluctant to work on it as I wasn't sure what I could different do the second time around, but fired it up anyway.

    Now for the Good News & Bad News:
    - Good News is that there wasn't any ghosting.
    - Bad News is the screen was cracked.

    It's a heavy tv and I was surprised at how it had looked like it was just 'tossed' into her minivan when she brought it to me, and i'm guessing that's when/how it died.

    So it's back in the dumpster as we speak.

          A follow-up...

          OK, since the Sony belonged to my wife's boss, I figured I'd build up a bit of 'employment-insurance' and give them another flat-screen tv that I'd just repaired. I watched as they again 'threw' the new tv in the back of the mini-van, facedown and on top of a bunch of other stuff!

          Jeez, it was like watching someone go out of their way to antagonize an animal.


          I learned my lesson here!

                  Sony XBR-55A8G 4K OLED image ghosting/jumping around
                  by Cheesesteak
                  Hello All,

                  Hoping one of you wizards might be able to help me, I'm new to TV repair, I'm trying to troubleshoot a ghosting/jumping image on a 4k 55in Sony XBR-55A8G OLED TV.

                  I have tried re-seating all cables, and lightly manipulating the cables while the TV is on to see if the picture changes with pressure on any of the cables/connectors. I also replaced the TCON board and the ribbon cables connecting the TCON board to the panel, the issue has not changed with the replacements or with any cable manipulation / re-seating.

                  I saw some people had success...

                  Sony 49XE8096 intermittent ghosting
                  by samolo75
                  Hi,
                  I started posting in a different thread and I was told it was not the best ans the tv model and the fault did not match. I am copping here what I wrote.
                  After starting the TV it works ok for a few seconds and then starts showing ghost image with horizontal lines intermittently (except the very top). The frequency of the ghosting is steady, like every second or so, it goes from normal to ghosting every second and back.
                  The TV is a 49XE8096. I already did quite a lot of trouble shooting. And I got the doubt if the problem is in the panel or de Tcon.
                  When disconnecting...

                  Sony KDL-46HX850 Can't upgrade/update firmware
                  by dkneyle
                  Diagnosed this TV as having a failed main board which I've replaced with one from a KDL 55HX850. They are (supposedly) the same board.

                  Being 'Smart TV' it requires a firmware reboot when you swap out boards such as T-Con or main board. It starts with a black screen and flashing yellow and green LEDS, indicating it needs that firmware boot. The procedure described all over the web is to put the software into the root directory of a FAT32 formatted USB drive and it should load that up once plugged into USB1 port. But not for me. I can see the LED on the USB chip flash for about...
