Have Sony model TV KDL46S4100 manuf. 5/08. When i turn it on, get double image and horizontal lines on the screen for about 15-20 minutes until it warms up and then pic is normal. What is the problem? what is cost to fix?

Sounds like you pulled the TV apart, good luck. Hope you earthed yourself. You could try a replacement t-con board. if that was the problem. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/how-to-replace-faulty-tcon-board.html

side fittings or lack of contacts of the logic controller interface to lcd panel.

Why pay lepricon when you can download for free from SONY!

Diana, did you ever find a solution? My Toshiba (same model) is about 2 years old and it started getting these 4 horizontal lines spaced pretty far apart and a double image at bottom. When I lightly tap the top of the TV, they went away. But now that is not working. Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes this thing start happening to my tv too about 4weeks ago and this goes away in about 15 minutes. TV is only 18 month old and I donot have extende warranty. Please post the solution if someone has got it repaired. Thanks

horizontal circuit problem .. vertical double image or horizontal.. check screen voltage and focus setting on board. CAUTION: EXTREME HIGH VOLTAGE. QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONELL ONLY .. serioius high voltage..

sony has a circuit than balances the 3 crt's. it needs a screen adjustment which is located in the front of tv behind speaker grill. easy repair

you need a green CRT thats whay you have the white kind of concave lines with the green screen. You can try adjusting the green screen control but you need anew CRT ( tube) the speaker cover has two plastic plugs that get removed on the lower edge os the grille which covers the two screws that hold the grille on. If you need more assistancr or where to get a green CRT let me know as I have a link that has some green and red Tubes for your model.

Unplug the TV from the ac wall outlet for about 4 minutes then plug it back in and turn it on. If it still has a double image then tell me if it's affecting the menu screen from the TV (not the cable menu). And is the double image in red and blue?
