Re: Sony Bravia KDL 46EX520 Faulty T-con board or LCD panel -- Horizontal lines

Thanks for your responses.
The edge board is on the bottom and seems quite hard to get to. I will check the panel tabs tonight.

If it sounds like it might be a panel problem it looks like i will be needing a new TV.

I dont know what the "cutoff" tape method is.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Yesterday, horizontal lines appeared on my television and I am unsure whether the problem lies with the T-con board or LCD panel.

I have removed the back housing and visually there are no obvious electronic issues. I then removed one of the ribbon cables from the T-con board, which resulted in blacking out half of the screen and the other half appeared normal (ie problem resolved - no distortion). I replaced the ribbon and then removed the second ribbon and there were horizontal lines across the entire screen.
I have attached several photos.

Hello,

My name is Kieran and im from Sydney, Australia.
I found this forum looking for help for my TV that started to behave weirdly.
Looks like this will be very useful.

Cheers
