SOURCE: my sony's picture is scrambled on the right side.

Hi,
Is it like that on all inputs and does it affect the tv menu ? If it does the panel is bad, if you don't have a warranty on it it will be cheaper just to buy a new tv (sad to say). I would check out sony's website they might have an extended warranty on panel. Good luck!

SOURCE: Screen dark on right hand side at start up

Suggest return or exchange. This is a newest model, and on factory warranty, if can't return or exchange, you have to complaint it until the panel is replaced. in fact, it is 90% panel defective. right now the LCD panel quality is too bad.

SOURCE: left side is dark and right side is good

The LCD sets use backlights and also a pair (some models combine both into one unit) of inverters- one drives left side and the other right side.

You could have a bad inverter (some versions call it T-con) or even a bad display panel(main screen unit).

In most cases this is not a do it yourself repair.

That could be a number of things. Possible ribbon cable loose or sweep or memory board faulty. Also I would not rule out a break on the screen. Good luck

Why is the picture on my Sony KDL-46VL160 good on the left, dark in the center and distorted with slow refresh to the right?

Back-light problem. Contact the authorized service center for Sony.
Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.

Sony tv troubleshooting

Hi, Please try to push or move the frame of your tv set on the dark side of the picture. If the picture becomes normal it is the loose connection. Otherwise it may be panel failure. Please consult some qualified technician or the service center.

Sony tv kdl-46vl130, Turn the tv on, half of the picture is dark, leave the tv on for about 20 minutes, and the tv is perfect, and stays perfect no matter how long is watched, Turn the tv off, and come...

I didn't look up the model to see if its a LCD or LED, if its an LED it sounds like you have some lamps going out, try turning down the backlight settings and see if that helps
