[@Zaddiel]

Tampatec thanks for answer you know where i can find it i search in the page you post any other web

I have the 52" Sony Bravia model similar to the 46" in this video. I bought it in 2008. The picture went out on it the other day after more than 10 years of use. Because of this video I was able to diagnose the issue and repair it. It was a bad Tcon board. Bought a replacement from electropartsonline and now it's working again. I hope to get many more years out of this TV. Thanks!

[@CAMILOPHOTO]

SO happy to find your video. My 14 year old Sony Bravia KDL-32m4000 made a "pop" sound and the screen displayed a full screen of lime green lines. I love that TV. No problems at all until last night. It blew out right in the middle of a thriller.. .which made us jump. LOL. I am determined to try to fix it myself. I like electronic stuff and you just gave me hope to find parts. We do have an HD Samsung Smart TV and I am not thrilled. It already shows a weird flickering screen sometimes when starting up and it is only 1 year old. They just don't make quality products anymore. Thank you Tampa Tech!

[@TalkingToAWall]

You saved me man! I actually didn’t need to get a new part I just took out and cleaned the white straps and put them back in and adjusted them a little bit. TVs working fine

[@TampaTec]

So you clean and reseated Tcon connections and fixed the TV?

[@umoronius]

Excellent presentation, clear and knowledgeable expertise! Well Done TampaTec!

[@timwebber8630]

All the "thumbs-down" votes - So sad. This is an excellent video. TampaTec covers virtually everything in this one video - very honest & very generous with his time and knowledge!!!

[@thandozililo3171]

Please come to South Africa... We need great teachers like you.

[@TampaTec]

still curious about the advanced tcon board repair here is the link- kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYivYYxunJKHg9E i will look for the IC replacement online to produce a tcon board advance repair later on *NOTE replacing the tcon IC is common fix but does not come with a warranty and NOT a guaranteed to fix your TV, replacing the tcon board which also comes with a warranty has higher success rate but cost about $30 more than the IC.

[@thomascorley8232]

Thanks for sharing this information. I have just got hold of a sony kd 55x8509c, with a black screen and no apparent power up, though the white LED does light up for a few mins, then goes off. my journey has just begun lol, and your video has presented the first gold nuggets of information! Many thanks :)

[@dubthedirector]

I knew it was my inverter board because when you touched it that’s when the thunder struck! Thank you, and the big big guy upstairs.

[@Kevindramey]

I would definitely be interested in the component level repair vids.

[@mscir]

Same here, I'm having trouble troubleshooting the power board.

[@PMG28]

Thanks for the video. I replaced my 2007 Sony Bravia XBR-5 with a new T-Com board for $20. It was out of service for about a week. Remember to verify the part numbers on the old and new board. I was about to purchase the wrong board until I took my TV apart to verify the part number.

[@TampaTec]

Congrats fixing your TV, and good tips. 👍

[@J_Braz_]

I have the 52 inch model. Bought it in 09. Still works great. Never had one issue with it. I bought a x750h Bravia a month ago. I hope it last as long as the 09 Bravia. But I doubt it. I must have got a one in a thousand tv.

[@cytherians]

I had the same problem with my KDL-46XBR4. Turns out it was the top rightmost ribbon cable that provides a feed to the LCD screen. There's a laminate adhesive connecting it to the PCB, and over years, the heat from the unit rising up in that corner softens the adhesive, allowing it to slightly separate and screw up the picture. Simply pressing your finger on it fixes the problem. I applied one layer of electrical tape then several layers of grip tape, to ensure the metal frame will provide sufficient pressure on the cable. Worked great. One tip: After taking off the top bracket, put the stand supports back on, then the stand. This makes it much easier to work on the set, rather than resting it loosely on the floor, risking some bending of the bottom frame tabs.

[@jet4kev1]

I have a KDL - R 60xbr1 and on the right side of the screen I have a distortion only on the right side of the screen from top to bottom… When I press on the top near the button functions it goes away… It does come back every time restart the TV… I was wondering if you think I don't t-con board or maybe just something similar to the problem you have?

[@cytherians]

@@jet4kev1 Well, it sounds like there may be some lamination problem that could also be ribbon cable related. If you've got the time and verve to do it, try taking apart the TV and inspecting that area. See if you can pad it to help keep the pressure on to make the distortion go away permanently.

[@paulmeahan7327]

Thanks mate! Just saved me tossing out my dads older Bravia! Will attempt to replace that picture board. 👍🏻

[@TampaTec]

awesome!

[@xiradio]

If it won't fully turn on, or there are intermittent issues, try baking the mainboard (with AV connections). I used a heat gun and a multimeter with temp sensor in an empty cardboard box. Bake for 10 mins @ 385F. This has fixed a dead LG 3D 47" and a Sony KDL-52Z100. Let it sit for 30-40 mins once you remove the heat. This basically reflows the solder on the smaller chip connections that separate over years of heat cycling. You can use your oven, but it lets off some nasty smell from the plastics getting hot.

[@mscir]

Great video, can you do one for a black screen no sound Sony Bravia kdl-40xbr9 ?

[@mowwow1998]

You always have great vids with great explanations. Would love to see more component level repairs also.

[@mozqoved]

Thanks for the great videos. This channel is very informative and one of the best I've ever seen. More advanced repairs(tcon board) would be extremely helpful.

[@ldavis3387]

Thanks Mate.. Needed to conform dismantling to repair vibrating speaker issue.. Great work Mate, keep it up.

[@MsG110]

I’m so glad I found your video. I’ve been dealing with horizontal lines on the screen after initially turning on the power which go away after 30 or so minutes. I saw a recommendation to hit the back of the TV to see if that changes anything and I noticed a change when I hit the back of the TV near the board you replaced. I have a KDL - 52Z5100 and will attempt to inspect my board and see if replacing it resolves the issue.

[@notorious809]

Ms. G just read your comment, I’ve been dealing with a similar issue. My tv sometimes it looks good sometimes I get double image. I gave it a little love tap where the board is and it worked! Thanks Edit: it’s back :(

[@tonybartlett625]

This was very informative , Will now look at mine.

[@christophervarela7699]

Thanks for this video, I just picked up this tv brand from the curb and it has the distortion color lines on it. Other channels look good but has about a 2in line width on it.

[@hunterwilk]

Thanks man, I just found this model sitting out by a dumpster near my apt last night. Brought it home and it's got exactly the same symptoms. I'm not shy about doing repairs (computer technician) so I may look into doing board component replacement, or I may just replace the t-con if it's cheap enough. Thanks again!

[@TampaTec]

Keep us updated

[@hunterwilk]

@@TampaTec Looks like the board in question is the only one not out of stock, and can be had for the same price you paid, will update.

I'm really liking what you're doing, man. I've replaced capacitors on an Element, bringing it back to life twice over a decade. I picked up a couple of Bravias at the dump thinking I could fiddle with them, have a little fun. One has a HUGE orange tint. You think replacing the same board you did in this video would do the trick?

[@edmatthews5895]

Great videos and very helpful in trying to determine issue. Have a Sony Bravia KDL-40M4000 with picture issues. I'm hoping no more that T-Con board. Problem starts with one vertical line when turned on. this will go away in 10-15 minutes. After an hour or 2, screen washes out white and sound ok. Typically picture will come back for another while and then may wash out white again. Picture may stay for an hour or 2 and then wash out again. When picture is on, it's perfect. Keep up the great videos. T-Con board or other issues. Have not opened it up yet.

Thanks man. Nice troubleshooting info. Also interested in learning component level troubleshooting/repair on the various boards.

I have similar Sony, it works but sometimes screen goes off by itself and no sound and then it goes back on by itself. Do you think I need to change the same board?

Hey Jimmy By the way I’m learning so much from you and the skills will be very useful for my future plans . Just wanted to ask one expertises question For Sony brands as long as the tv screen is not damage or crack it’s always a way to fix it as long as you have the parts ,and also is most parts similar to every models

[@israeldeleon1238]

Hey TampaTech, I appreciate you taking the time and teaching us all about the workings of electronics. I have a 70" LG Smart TV that has a very low speed on streaming video. i was thinking that maybe its the built in NIC & tried adding a USB NIC that is newer and faster. I have 1 iGB fiber coming into our home and other devices work fine. But, How can I disable the local NIC on the LG TV?

I tried to do a factory reset (up arrow from TV remote and then press power button on TV) no luck. can you recommend any other steps I should take...or do i need a new TV? Any insight would be great!Thank you

SONY KDL-46HX820 (4 x blink - no back light) In my case changing Power Board solved the problem. There was no voltage (26.5V) on VLED_VCC lines to LED Driver board.

[@ClSche]

Dear @TampaTec as a fellow resident of Tampa your excellent videos caught my attention. Can you please help me? I have a Sony KDL-46S5100 that still has a beautiful picture when streaming through the HDMI ports. However when trying to receive over the air broadcast TV signals, the picture is totally garbled and unwatchable, I suppose I need a new tuner card? If that sounds reasonable to replace and solve the problem I will go ahead. Your tips on going by the number on the card and not the model on the TV is brilliant! I will go by that number if I can figure out which card to replace. Thanks a million!

[@TampaTec]

You need to troubleshoot by process of elimination. Check TV connections, use another cable if needed. Check antenna 📡 📶 position and signal strength. Scan digital channels not cable / analog channels. Reset TV by unplugging TV power cord for 1 minute. Check tuner rf solder connections if needed solder bad solder joints. Can be bad tv tuner or main board. Get TV boards at shopjimmy.com or electropartsonline.com

[@isaiahmathenge9553]

Thanks for the repair of t con board it's work will.

[@paulnovak3594]

Awesome! Thanks for the straight-forward explanation. I have a similar SONY tv: KDL-46Z4100. Its screen error is a pile of horizontal and vertical red and green lines; pretty much a full cross-hatch (tight ‘plaid’ pattern if you will). What do you think are the odds that I just need to order the equivalent LCD board (the upper one you worked on) for my TV? Thanks again!

[@asafpeled1972]

.hey man, first of all- great video's! really appreciate your work is there any way you can make a guide about newer versions of sony tv's? i have the kdl-50w656a wich is having picture problems and looks a bit different inside then this tv over here

[@Joeboken]

Hi, I'd just like to clear something up, you said if you see vertical lines that denotes that you should replace the board you replaced, however, when you showed the lines you get when powering up the tv, they were horizontal lines. Unless you mean the dark lines in between the rows of white horizontal lines. I would have recognized them as horizontal and not vertical, can you please explain a little more about that? Thanks. Great video by the way.

[@MrFledge]

Fantastic video. I have an issue where the colors are saturated and the screen is dark. No vertical lines and the picture is not distorted. Should I be looking at the T-CON board for problem?

[@J.Crooner]

Great video & you seem to be just the guy who may have the answer to what is going on with my sony bravia kdl-52S5100. The brightness of the tv seems to be a dirty looking faded white color & the tint seems to favor more of a slightly red & green color despite making proper picture adjustments. When I'm playing blu ray movies the image seems to have a coaxial look to it as if it's not really a digital image & as of today both HDMI ports have mysteriously lost their signals. If it is a solution I'm all open ears & if not then I'll should make preparations to purchase a new TV, your help would be greatly appreciated thanks👍😎👌

[@jasonperkowski5164]

Hey great video, had this problem and you saved me soooooo much money thank you!!! you got my subscription bro!! One more question, before this problem started I noticed my 120hz is not working. when I got this tv the soap opera effect was great and not it's not there at all. it's not mu eyes because my other tv I see it great. What could that be? or part number to change. Thank you for any advice you give!!

Excellent tutorials! I have a Sony KDL-52W4100 that stopped working one day. There is a picture, which is the last channel it was on, unfortunately an empty channel so all I see is the banner above the screen, but that's it. That picture is frozen and the TV will not change channel or input or anything else. I thought it might be a software issue but in watching you replace components, I wonder if it's one of them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Watched the video - very helpful. We have a KLV-46X350A which has started solarising and distorting left side to right and occasionally does the vertical white line thing on power up. However, after about 15mins picture returns to normal. Question: a T-con issue ?

[@bexhillguy]

Hi there, great video, i have replaced the t con board on my sony, i got both the sides back and working great. however when i switched it back on i got tghe same problem. i have found if i tap the top of the plastic frame surround lightly it makes the picture come back. how do i check the other side of the two ribbon cables?. thanks again

[@waroftheworlds3173]

thanks a lot :) mine's the LCD module that's weird. Can't say it's broken because it garble half screen but if I shake the tv, it comes back. I'm pretty sure this is because of the flat cable connectors. I'll disassemble and reseat all stuff.
