    Sony KDL50R550A picture shifts up & down

    Been looking for other people who have dealt with the same issue, but I haven't seen anything similar. While watching tv as usual, the entire picture started shifting up and down slightly. Probably less than an inch shift, back and forth every few seconds. Did all recommended troubleshooting: unplugging, factory reset, disconnected all cables, inputs, etc. It's definitely the tv, which is not under warranty. Did some online research and watched tutorials. Opened up the back and checked T-con board connections. Also checked T-Con board with multimeter. Less sure of what I was doing there, but all voltages were all string and steady. I just would like to know if anyone recognizes this problem and if it's repairable or if my 3 year old tv is DOA. Thank you for any advice/help/condolences. -- Heather

    Can you upload a video or multiple images of this problem?. This model is known for defective panels. But that may or may not be your problem. But images and video helps and you will get more help here.

      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...

      T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
      by Tr0ll
      Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

      The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

      Original T-con:
      Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

      First replacement T-con:

      I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...
