Re: SONY KDL-52S4100 Half screen dead.

Ok I got it fixed. If I just had the left T-con cable in Still no Picture, So I took the TV apart down to just the screen and found nothing. So I put it back together but half way I decided to put it together where I can test it. "test it without most of the screws back in. And then I got great picture. so I put pressure on the screen edges and the left side like 75% up from the bottom would kill the whole picture if like something grounded out. so I pop out that part of the screen and reset the tv. "reset by just turning it off then...

I think I have my problem narrowed down a little more. I have a SONY KDL-52S4100 and I put in a new Video board and a new T-con. When I have the TV on I have a Black screen/no picture but have great sound with back lighting. however If I disconnect both ribbon cables from the T-con to the screen IC boards when OFF. then reconnect the right one and leave the left disconnected, I turn on the TV and have great picture on that half of the screen. Then, with the TV on I plug in the other ribbon cable to the t-con and the whole screen goes dark. I have not opened the TV more then getting to the boards...

Hello, first post here.
Ok I have a SONY KDL-52S4100 that has sound when on, but no Picture. The back light comes on but no pic, I bought a e-bay t-con "used" and plugged it in with no fix, but if I wiggle it I can sometimes get it to pop up a picture for a few sec, and some times after It heat's up some it works fine, so I do believe I have a bad T-con but I read somewhere on some forum/board. that this model TV used two diff T-cons though its build lifetime, So a T-con from SN# say 1 to 5000 wont work in a 5001 to 9999 units, kinda thing.
