Sony KDL-40S4100 horizontal image tearing on right half of screen

[kevin.st56]

hi all. i have a sony bravia 40in tv, the image on it will produce 3 horizontal lines, and the image overlaps itself, and itll happen when the tv has been turned off for some time. also, on rare occasion, there will be no image at all. with the tearing, it will eventually clear itself up when its been on for maybe 5-10 minutes, and all is good from there, until its turned off for a while, or power is removed. the lines are more noticable with darker images.

a side note, there is also no standby light when the tv is off, but i havent been too concerned about it since the tv turns on and off without it, by button and remote.

so far, i have already replaced the TCon board, and the main board.

That looks like a panel tab bond problem. Does the POWER led light when the tv is on?

Maybe try the "cutoff tape" method, example there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vl7-vZEL8

LCD panel issue with bad Gate drive which causes the double images you see on the screen, try tape off method as suggested.
