Connect AV OUT to a monitor and see if BE board is processing video (tuned to a tv channel, say), to the monitor. If so, it'll exonerate the BE board to some degree. Are you getting 12V up to the T-Con? My guess is a faulty T-Con since you get neither picture nor OSD. Tried the old "shining a light into the panel front" trick to see if there's any sign of a picture?

OldLes:
Well, we had another look at this today. Following your suggestion, Downunder, we connected a monitor. Not possible to see the MENU screen, but good sound and video output to the monitor from a DVD input to the Sony.
To my surprise, when I change "Source", with an aerial connected, the set was fully tuned in. (Here on this small island there a number of relay transmitters, plus N Ireland which I receive, plus Border). Usually I need to tune in, impossible without a visible menu, but not today!
I checked voltages up to the Tcon board, and there were at least five +5v pins, but no +12V. The manual actually shows a +12v source, but it is "greyed out", and marked NC.
It begins to look as if it is a faulty Tcon board, but do I spend money on it, or just scrap it?
The board carries ID mark   320WSC4LV1.1. Prodding and poking achieves nothing.

I wish you luck sourcing a T-Con for it. I spent a lot of time on the net looking for a T-Con for a              KDL-32S4000 last night but didn't even get a sniff of one. Cest la vie.

sparky:
Hi
try EMOS

downunder:
Thanks sparks, tried em, they only stock 3 types of Sony T-cons. Also tried Chas Hyde. Ever hopeful.
Whatever happened to Turnip......retirement home, perhaps. He was the reason I joined this forum.
