Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
I guess I'm gonna just reassemble and throw on craigslist for $20 and see if anyone wants it for parts since it's most likely the LCD panel.
There's lots of threads here on badcaps saying this model and other Sony TVs have rotten LCDs. It's too bad Sony doesn't mean high quality anymore, same as ever other brand.
Unless someone has another idea? I don't want to go buying parts for it, stabbing in the dark trying to fix it if the LCD itself is bad. I wish I knew for sure. I could part it out on ebay if the LCD is bad....

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
Well damn. I guess the LCD is just dead in this one. It changed from the colored lines to a big black patch while having it apart right now. The tab bonds dont look damage and I didn't do anything drastic movement wise to damage it further.
It was colors, I turned it off then back on again and then it was black in that area.
The short ribbon cable that you can disconnect, I disconnected and reseated it also on the problem side (power off, unplugged, after power supply click when unplugged). no help.

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
Here is a pic of it right now. I have other stuff to deal with right now.. but I'll get around to trying to fix this eventually.
I factory reset it since it was stuck in Spanish and I couldn't see the menu. My comcast remote set to the TV worked to let me do that. I could see enough of the prompts to get it going in English and program one channel for the SD cable box....Last edited by Cubey; 09-04-2014, 10:28 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
Now I have ready the other thread (Samsung LN52A530P1FXZA) more in depth and I see you said you now to do them ALL?
Did you also do them all on the Sony 40" in this thread? It's almost the same as mine.
Mine: 40S4100
Yours: 40V4100
Yours is the better one: [url]http://www.compare-hdtvs.com/sony-kdl-40v4100-compare-sony-kdl-40s4100/[/url]Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix... you now to doLeave a comment:

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
How much do you use? I see some thinner pieces on ebay for very cheap from China. You seem to be fixing them all the time. It looks like in one of your photos, you only used a small piece from a big chunk. For me, buying a couple thinner, smaller pieces might be better.
This 100x100x1 might be plenty for one or two fixes. I'd have to double it up to get 2mm thick, then roll over the doubled up piece for 3 layers to get it similar to how you did it:

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
Where do you buy the silicon stuff you use?
Something ultra sticky makes the most sense to me, like what you use.
I don't know how well double sided tape under warm conditions in a TV would hold up. A light bump of the TV might move the silicone tubing placed into the TV shown in the video I linked, if the glue is warm and the is burned or melted away.
edit: or.. is that stuff not sticky? Hm..Last edited by Cubey; 09-02-2014, 05:11 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
The symptom with the one I nabbed from by the dumpster (it hadn't been there TOO long) is it powers up, good colors, good brightness but a portion of the left side has many small, different color, vertical lines. I can see the menu and such coming up when I press the buttons and how it tries to change channels.
It's an old 2008 model: Sony BRAVIA S KDL-40S4100

Re: SONY KDL-40V4100 Tab bonding fix
Complete newbie here so please be kind!
What does this accomplish? Does it push down on the tab? Is it for heat absorption?
I grabbed a 40" Sony TV today that has a tab bond symptom but I've never done this kind of repair before. It'll be a week or two before I get around to messing with it probably though. I'm MOVING tomorrow and now I have a "broken" 40 inch TV to move too.
It's in my car already on top of everything else already packed in there. Thankfully I don't have much of anything to move...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello everyone!
I joined up directly related to a 40" Sony LCD TV I grabbed up today that powers up and the screen comes on... but needs something done to it due to vertical striped lines. It's worth playing around with to try to fix I figure.
I found a thread related to it but dangit... the attachments were member only.
Just as well... I will probably be posting on here a bit anyway.
