I have the same tv model KDL-40W4100 and around the same age. At the moment I have 16 of
these horizontal lines over the entire screen and they seem to be grouped into 2 lines per row. They are also around 4 inches and two pixel rows high. I have been looking over the Internet for months and found nothing to troubleshooting this issues. In the last few weeks more and more of these groups of lines have been showing up and now i am up to 16 of them and it is becoming unwatchable. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. I also attached a picture to describe it better. Thanks!

    Since this photo it also had 5 large semi-transparent vertical bars on the screen. Replaced the Tcon board and the above went away however the 5 bars are still there. when i unplug the LVDS cable and plug it back it it fixes itself. but when i power the tv on/off it goes back to the 5 vertical bars again. only unplugging the lvds cable and plugging it back it seems to fix it. Any ideas if the bu board is bad also? Seems like it is on all the time with the tv off since it is always hot.

Why does my 4 year old Sony Bravia (KDL40W4100) show horizontal lines & multiple images across a majority portion of the screen, when it is first turned on? After 15 or 20 minutes, the picture wi

The problem is most likely a failing electrolytic capacitor in the convergence section of the circuitry. It may not be economically repairable. You can (after unplugging the set) take a good look at all the electrolytic capacitors hunting for signs --crud on the ends, bulging, burning, etc.

Sony Bravia KDL-40w4100 vertical line issue

Ok after over a year i figured out it was the tcon board. Good luck getting finding one. The first one i ordered from shopjimmy was faulty, didn't realize until after the warranty so i ate the cost of it (honestly i thought that it was good and there was another thing wrong with the tv) so i said wtf and bought one last week from ebay. Bam! it works great!!!

Horizontal (dashed) line across screen

On the KDFE55A20 this sounds like a bad Q-Box. I would get an estimate from a Sony authorized servicer as this part may be quite expensive. On the 55A10 model this may be the B-Block and is also quite expensive. Getting an on-sit estimate would be the first step I suggest. Again go with an authorized Sony servicer. Call Sony or go to Sony.com for customer service. Good Luck
