"Upgrade" of Backlight Panel

For a Sony KLV-32S310A, is a backlight panel "upgrade" possible? If the backlight inverter or backlight "power supply" has failed, should only the backlight "power supply" or backlight inverter be replaced? If the problem is the bad lamp(s), should the bad lamp(s) be replaced only? OR should the whole backlight panel be replaced? OR should the Bravia unit be replaced already?

Screen is black, no picture sound is O.K

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here.

In some models of LCD TVS; the backlight inverter and its T'Con board will be a part of the panel itself, and will be a built-in type inside the LCD panel. If so, they can't be replaced. In this case; a panel replacement is the only repair. For some other models, the backlight inverter section circuit will be a part of the main power supply regulator [SMPS]. To such sets, the power supply section circuit too should trouble shoot. Contact any service technician. The circuit will differ with models and versions.

It sounds that the back-light inverter has the fault. If there is any winding short [cannot detected by measuring with an Ohmmeter], this type of fault can occur. The only thing to do is replace the back-light inverter board. The LED blinks indicates a short circuit .

Sony KLV-27HR3 won't come on

Check to see if you are getting a back light by looking through the slots on the back cover. If you are getting a backlight then it is not your power board. If no back light check your connection in another outlet different room if possible or use a long extension. If still no back light then you are likely to need a new power board.

Sound with no picture..backlight working

This failure could be due to a backlight inverter board or the power supply is not providing the 24 volts to it.
The way to fix it is by measuring the voltages from the power supply to the backlight inverter board, if the voltage is present then the backlight inverter board is defective and will need to be replace. If the voltage is lower then 20 volts, then is a power supply failure.
Click here to find the backlight inverter board.
Let me know if you need further assistance. I repair power supplies for all LCD models.

I have a Sony KDL-40V2500 LCD 1080P TV there is no picture the

A 4 flash shutdown indicates a backlight problem. It can be acused by a bad backlight inverter board (the backlight power supply) or by a defective backlight in the panel. There are fuses on the backlight inverter board called "picofuses" which will need to be checked in order to isolate the problem to the board or the panel. If the fuses are good, you have to replace the panel (very expensive!). If the fuses are opne, most likely the back light inverter board has failed.
