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
