My Sony KDL-32M3000 is acting strange. When I first turn it on I get 4 white lines running vertically where the SONY logo usually is. When the image comes up it's like things are moving in slow motion, strobing. Anything moving leaves a trail. The color and brightness are bad. I get the same problem when using the DVD player, or my ps2

G'Day!

Unfortunately, what you're describing is a repair issue. You won't be able to address the problem with troubleshooting. There is a part inside the TV that needs to be replaced. If you're under warranty, this will cost you nothing. If you're not under warranty the cost will likely be a minimum of $200 parts and labor. However, be warned that the cost could be considerably higher.

This is actually a common problem with this model, and its surprising that it really does look like a video board (BM board) problem. It is actually a problem with the panel itself.
Here is the fix:

This guy was kind enough to post it. I recently did the repair on a KDL-32M3000 and it worked like a charm. Took surprisingly long, but worked like a charm. I didn't have a 10 Ohm resistor laying around, so I used 2 x 4.7 Ohm resistors in series.

Alot of times this is caused by the t-con board double check the connections of the ribbons very carefully they are very fragile but it sounds like it needs to be replaced.
