Sony KDL-46XBR4 46 in. LCD Television - Page 4 Questions & Answers
THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PANEL DISPLAY FLICKERS AND
That problem is actually pretty easy to fix. If you are at all handy, take the unit apart and unplug and plug in the many plugs, particularly at the display itself, but also on the circuit boards. If this doesn't solve the flickering, it is most likely a crack trace on the board and you will need to take it in for service. If you're good at electronics, and you've noticed that the flickering happens only after the unit has heated up some, take some freezeit and spray different parts until the problem stops or gets worse. Analyze the circuit in that part of the board. If accessible, press on it with an insulated finger tip. Resolder using a grounded electronics soldering iron.
Good luck.

CRACK LCD TV SCREEN
I don't have a listing for your model, but it is not unusual for the panel to cost more than a replacement set. As another example, the replacement tube (CRT) for a 27" Sony set can easily be $700. This was when these sets were being sold for $350!! Parts is where these companies rake in big profits. Don't blame the servicer for this one.
Sorry about the bad news.

Sony kdl-46xbr4 Black Horizontal Bands When I First Turn on TV
I had the exact same problem with the Sony KDL46XBR4. The problem started 11 months after I purchased the TV (Dec 2007). Luckily I placed the call to Sony just before the 1 year warranty expired and they replaced the entire front panel which is basically the whole TV except for the stand and the plastic frame. Last month the same issue started happening again (5 months since the repair). I called Sony and they say they have a 90 day warranty on the replacement part so I would need to pay out of my own pocket to first have the problem diagnosed (it's the EXACT same problem!) and then pay to have the repair done since the warranty has expired. I asked how much the front panel costs and it's $1,400! I paid $2,100 for the TV when I purchased it. Interestingly, at the time that part was back-ordered.....hmmmm, I wonder why??? Perhaps a recall is warranted here (no pun intended). Needless to say, I have sworn off Sony products due to their lack of support for this issue.
