Sony KDL-40S2010 Half Screen Dark

[gadge64]

Hi guys.

The backlight seems to be gone for the top-half of the screen. The TV operates normally otherwise.

The problem is similar to this I'd say, but without the flickering.


Any of you guys know how to fix? Or worst case scenario recommend a replacement?



Thanks in advance,

Garret.

Hi Garret,

How about an actual picture - give us a clue - Chris.

Ok no problem.




I also just noticed that the backlight is flickering slightly.

Thanks again.

Hi Garrett,

Found a thread from a smaller version of a similar model - might be useful - Chris.

Sony KDL-32S2010
Invertor
Type KPC2294V. Pic darker at the top with brightness flickering – set continued to function. Fuse C03 had blown Q601 and Q602 (both RSS065 – 8 pin, N type Mosfets) were S/C. Replacements used were IRF740 which didn’t run hot – Tv John
