I couldn't find much regarding Vertical Streaking; I did find a couple of posts from 2013, but no resolution. Does this problem have a known/obvious solution? This is a TV that I am considering buying for repair. Thanks.

Re: Sony KDL-46HX729 Vertical Streaking
Looks like panel failure, unfortunately. -
Re: Sony KDL-46HX729 Vertical Streaking
OK, but what really fails when a panel fails, besides individual LCDs failing giving stuck pixels (actually pels) or lines?
As I try to imagine what is going on with the display, it seems that the signals that feed into the sides of the LCD panel (Gate drive?) are all staying "ON" instead of switching ON only when they are supposed to and then switching back OFF when that row is finished. Now consider that there are redundant gate signals feeding in from the opposite edges of the display. Since the display still bears some resemblance to what it is supposed to look like, it strikes me that perhaps the problem with the gate drivers only exists on one side while the good side is still trying to drive the rows correctly. (I expect that the problem with the gate drive could be coming from the T-Con, i.e., the T-Con could be failing to send the correct timing signals to the gate drivers on one side, or the problem could be with the gate drivers on the side tabs themselves.) I have read many posts talking about peeling off the side tabs from the panel when there is a problem with them, e.g., a short in one of the gate driver ICs. So I am wondering whether the problem with the subject TV could be rectified by removing the gate driver tabs on one side of the panel (?).
It should be possible to test my theory of the problem by disconnecting one or the other of the flat ribbon cables between the T-Con and the panel to see if this makes the problem disappear for one side of the panel or the other. Since the TV is not in my possession, I was hoping that someone had tried this for this symptom already so that I can make a decision on whether to purchase the TV.

Re: Sony KDL-46HX729 Vertical Streaking
I already owned a Samsung tv with this common fault, i've done many tests like the thread here in this forum, (LE40A756), i've ended up removing one side's tabs with no improvements, the half connection test on tcon showed both halves with the fault. Yes it seems a gate driver fault, i have not tried a replacement tcon, someone on Italian forum done it with no solution but this is not a proof 'cause many faulty tcon are sold as good in the market. It can be may be a clock signal problem, ho knows? What i haven't tried, i and if i owned again a tv like that i would try it for sure, it's a reflow of the tcon main chip, but the chances of success are few 'cause someone on yuotube already have tried it (see EEVBLOG>"Samsung dumpster dive")..Last edited by Davi.p; 11-13-2018, 01:44 PM.Comment

Hello,
i order a t-con because i had bad colors on my SONY KDL-40V3000 :
With the new t-con the color are good but there are vertical lines on all the screen :
I've tried the old t-con and it returned to the initial issue (bad colors but no vertical lines)
Is there a way to fix the vertical lines on the new t-con ?
Thank you for your help

Hi everyone, I've been troubleshooting my 20" Sony Trinitron (KV-20FV12) CRT after it failed to show a picture. The standby LED is blinking 4 times, which according to the service manual is a failed vertical deflection via the self-diagnostic check during power up.
After getting the TV checked out by a technician and doing research on my own. The most obvious first step was to replace the IC502. I've done so with an exact NOS replacement with no luck. I've read a few suggestions to make sure the 12V supply to pin 2, but that voltage check would seem misleading? It seems if the... -
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...

I have acquired a Sony XBR-65X900H to try and fix. It probably was a complete no power situation. The main board was replaced and the TV started turning on. I now have start sounds and backlights, but no image. I've replaced the t-con with no improvement. Cables all appear to be ok and seated properly. The TV took a firmware update and hard reset but neither helped.
Using the tape trick I can get both side to display combinations of colored vertical lines. There is no change in the stripes and the pattern always appears the same. If I add additional tape strips I can get the screen... -
Hello everyone,
I've recently been given a Sony 8k Z8H. It's got a white screen with two vertical black bars. At times it's given me the 5 blink Tcon code. Testing voltage on the Tcon I can see some low or missing voltage. I've done a basic visual check of cables and the COF. Not seeing anything obvious. The original Tcon seemed to have good caps until turning it over. On the bottom I found maybe 10 caps with both sides of the caps shorting to ground. I thought ok these caps and likely other components on the Tcon are shorted so let's try a replacement Tcon. I just received the...
