Can see the channels but the picture is whited out, with ghost images. Every once in a while, color picture comes back briefly. The longer it stays on , the more it stays whited out. Tried resetting to factor specs, played with picture settings, power save settings....nada. Repair guy opened it and said 4 circuit boards need replacing, he did no diagnostics! Telling me $1,800.00 to fix! HELP!! Cable fine on all other TVs, all inputs- same problem
Fault at its main digital board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary

He may just be giving up too soon. Again, does this happen on every channel no matter what is plugged into it?
If replacing the cables doesnt help, try giving sony tech support a call and see what they suggest. It wouldnt hurt to get a professional opinion. Plus if your warrenty has expired and they offer to repair it at a cost, im sure it will cost less than a new 40" TV
Not sure what country you're in so go to the website below and choose your country then look for their contact email or phone number. I'm sure they will be helpful, thats what theyre there for.

Have your TV model number (usually on the back of the set) and details
of the fault handy. They may also ask where you purchased it from.

It sounds like a bad panel or possibly a bad digital board. This board is mounted on the back of the LCD panel. Have it checked by a repair shop.
