Hello, My Sony Kdl 50 W 656 ASAEP TV is not working properly anymore. Just in time after the warranty ran out the picture starting to show some thin black bars followed by the picture suddenly being all colourful and now its all black. The sound is still working but the picture is just black now and doesnt show anything else. Instead of buying a new TV i’d like to fix it. Would be cool if anyone could help.

@timme could be an LCD issue (let us know if the black bars were horizontal or vertical) as well as a T-Con board or mainboard error. If it is the LCD that has failed, it will be a difficult chore since they a replacement is hard to find and more than a new TV. I’d start with the less expensive T-con board
