Sony KDL-46hx720 vertical lines - panel fault ?
Good day folks. I believe I have a case of tab bond failure on my hands with this Sony TV here, but I wanted to do a quick check before even bothering. What does this look like to you ? The TV actually displays picture, but there are some vertical lines running across the screen. Definitely looks like a panel issue to me. I tried jiggling the connectors on the back, but it changed absolutely nothing. The TV has 4 ribbon cables connecting the T-con to the buffer boards on either side: I removed one of them, but other than making the picture no longer appear, the lines were still there. I removed both of them and that side turned white with no lines. I doubt it's a T-con issue, as the T-con usually makes a mess of the entire picture, not just a random area.
