Re: Sony KDL-55W900A

I figure that I will have to find one harvested from a broken panel.

I really hope that I don't have to go that far; that the thermal pad will keep the driver chip cool enough to solve the problem.

I believe it was this thread that talked about it.

Yes, the tabs with the driver chips are on both sides of the display. One is hotter than the rest. I just ordered [URL="http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Thermal-Pad-145-0-5/dp/B00UYTTLI4"]http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Thermal-Pad-145-0-5/dp/B00UYTTLI4[/URL] to install so that I can sink the heat onto the aluminum bezel. I'm hoping that it is a loose connection and not an actual chip or tab ribbon failure.

Of course if it is internally shorted, there isn't a lot that can be done, although
I have read that there is an option of removing...

Please help

Here is a video of what my TV is doing [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHWQ9j9ois"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHWQ9j9ois[/URL]

I've replaced both the power supply and T-con boards, but the problem stays the same, 5 red light blink error code. If I i disconnect the output ribbon cables from the t-con board, the tv will not fault.

I've inspected all of the ribbon cables around the panel and none of them appear damaged. I've never worked on a Sony, so I'm curious how the side panel cables work.

Do they use the frame as a ground?...
