Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV: Where can I find a replacement LCD panel for my TV?

Sat, 26 Dec 2020 06:47:29 -0700

Hello, about a year ago our 40" Sony Bravia LDC Television went one-on-one with a Wii remote... and lost. The panel was cracked, and the TV was not covered under a warranty. We have long since replaced it with another similar 40" Bravia which has faired pretty well over the past year. The other TV has been residing in the basement in it's box. I decided to leave it there until the price of LCD panels had gone down. I'm now thinking of buying a new panel (if the price is reasonable) and replacing it. The only problem is that I have no idea as to where you can buy an LCD panel for one of these TVs. eBay returned no results and neither did Amazon. Does anyone know where I can buy an LCD panel for one of these TVs?

Sony Television: I have horizontal lines on part of my TV screen.

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 02:12:34 -0700

Hi all - Hopefully someone out there might be a little bit more helpful than the Sony Troubleshooting Guide:

Sony Bravia Model No: KDL-47W805A

Only yesterday a number of horizontal lines appeared on my TV screen, only the lower 1/3 portion of the screen though. They intermittently flicker between 1/3 of the screen having visible lines to only the top three of four lines.

I have attached two pictures below which I hope go some way to demonstrating the issue.

So far I have:

1: Switched the TV off for a period of time and then switched it back on - The lines still appear.

2: Removed all the connecting cables (Amazon, HDMI, Cable) and then switched it back on again - The lines still appear.

3: Conducted a factory reset - The lines still appear.

4: Applied pressure along the edges of the TV where the lines appear - No change, the lines are still visible, no distortion to them. Although this might seem strange I read somewhere that if there is a loose connection along the LCD connectors applying pressure might confirm this is the lines change with the application of pressure.

5: Given up :(

Sony Bravia TV 55'' ultra 4k: YouTube giving an error 'please check your network connection'

Sat, 24 Jun 2023 09:16:51 -0700

Hi I just connected my Sony TV to the Internet three days ago. YouTube was working fine the first day. And now it is not working. It keeps giving me the error message 'please check your network connection' everytime I try to get on that app. I checked my Internet connection, I am able to get on Netflix without any problems. I also switched off everything unplugged and replugged the wires, and still unable to get in YouTube app on TV.

By the way, YouTube works fine on the other laptops and phones.

I did do photo plus sharing from my phone to TV end of the first day. Could that have to do with any of this error?

I'm posting for the first time, don't know how this site works, I hope I get notified.

Sony Television: My SONY 40" LED TV has no picture but has sound?

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 09:44:01 -0700

Hello. Please help me with this.

My SONY LED TV has no picture but it has sound. There's no SONY logo during startup but there's an obvious very dim light. I have tried powercycle but no go. I've tried using flashlight to check for any picture on the screen but seems like I cannot see any. I did not open the back yet to check for the ribbons and pins.

What could possibly be the problem and the fix?

Thanks so much.

Sony XBR65A9F OLED: 4 Red Blinking Lights on the SONY OLED tv

Turn on the tv, runs for about 5 minutes, then shuts off with 4 red blinking lights. Tried hard reset/factory reset and the tv goes into reset mode, shows the Android logo, gets through setup, then shuts off. Tried to connect the BL_ERR to ground, but did not fix. Then replaced the power board with new board, still no fix. What next?

Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV: No picture, just green light

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 23:25:19 -0700

When I turn on my 40 inch Sony Bravia, the tv clicks and the green light comes on. I don’t have any picture or sound. I’ve been told to shine a light in the dark to see if I can see the picture. I tried it and light just reflects off screen. I can’t see any picture. Any suggestions? Could it still be the inverter board? It was working fine, then one day no picture. No warning signs before it happened.

=== Update (04/10/2018) ==

Here is a picture of the whole back and each board. It is model KDL-40S504. I have a multimeter as well.

I tried to see if it was in standby mode. It didn’t work when putting in the combo with the remote. Here is a picture of the T-Con board.

Sony Television: Possible Dead T con board? or is it the Screen?

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 11:32:21 -0700

Hey Guys,

I have a KDL-46W5500 Sony Bravia which has just decided to turn on with lines appearing 10 seconds after power on

After some investigation I decided to take the back off and try taking out / putting back in the T Con Board inputs and strips/connectors

but to no avail.

I am considering purchasing a new one off Ebay for about $80, but wanted to know if any of you fine gentlemen could advise if you believe replacing the T con board would actually solve my problems or whether you believe it to be the LCD Screen itself.

I did try powering on the tv without the T con connected and the lines didn't appear so I think that is maybe a tick on the replace the t con board list. Any help would be much appreciated. other photos of tv components:

Thanks,

Joel

Sony Bravia 42" LCD TV: Sony Bravia TV turns off repeatedly.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:09:14 -0700

My Sony Bravia TV (model number KDL-46W905A) turns off randomly every few minutes. At first it seemed that it only happened when it was directly plugged into the wall, but not when it was plugged into an extension cord, but now it happens no matter what. It always turns back on after a couple of seconds, and is otherwise working perfectly, but something seems to be tripping and turning it off, with no apparent pattern. I am new to fixing stuff but really don’t want to have to throw away an otherwise perfectly good television that my landlord was going to throw out! Thanks to anyone who can offer any advice!

Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV: no picture no sound

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 10:31:09 -0700

32 days after I bought this tv it went out. no picture or sound. I had it repaired under factory warranty. 2 years later, it happened again. the same exact thing. I put it in the closet and went and bought a new t.v. The other day, I pull it out of the closet to see if I could repair it. After exploring the web, I ordered a new "A" board. I changed it out and now my back lights come on but nothing else. What else could be causing my problem?

Sony Bravia 40" LCD TV: There was water in my TV (condensation!) and now there are stripes..

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:42:05 -0700

Hi there, due to some strong temperature changes my TV got condensation in it; it was actually dripping out of the bottom! I've been drying the TV out, carefully blow drying on cool and leaving it in a warm room but there are now thick vertical stripes down the left hand side of the screen. Is this TV fixable? Should I take the back off and if so how do I do it? Seems a shame to throw it away, its good TV.

It's a

Sony Television: Blank blue screen and no picture or sound

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 00:07:02 -0700

I have a Sony Bravia KDL-42W705B purchased Jan 2015.

When I turn it on I now get a full screen of blank light Blue and no sound.

Sony says you may reset the TV settings to the factory default but I can,t as there is no menu or home button due to No picture. Anyone help as SONY say it is out of the one year warranty and they are not liable for any repairs.

Its a disgrace, I will never buy SONY again and will advise others to follow suit.

Surely A TV should last more than 18 months

I have tried a power reset without success Jayeff thanks though.

I have attached a photo of the blue screen Oldturkey03,

Hope this helps
