It sounds as though it could be any of three problems. Firstly, it could be a faulty screen - in which case it's a lost cause since replacement screens can cost more than new TVs. It could be your main (video) board which you could replace if you can find a matching one on eBay. Finally it could be your T-con board, which again can be replaced by finding the same part number on eBay. A plaid screen is not a problem I am familiar with per se, but those are the three reasons why one might have a faulty display. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: the picture has a shadow

you're LCD panel is gone. To replace it...$1500-$2K. But there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. No pun intended. Sony has posted on the US and Canadian site they will repair the XBR4 at no cost! i have the link right here. http://www.sony.ca/view/882.htm Canadian. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/news-item.pl?news_id=378&mdl=KDL46XBR4 USA.

It claims its the 46" but it appears to be a 40-52" problem. If you have an extended warranty it will pay for it.

My flat screen tv shuts off and standby led blinks 13 times.

Our $2700 less than 3 year old Sony LCD KDL-40XBR5 did the same thing 2 weeks ago. Sony was anything but helpful. They said to take it to a repair shop or we could send them $550 and they would replace it with a $800 set. Repairman says that it is a panel and the part has been discontinued by Sony. The 46" sets had the same problem and were recalled but not the 40" screen. We stopped on the way home and purchased a 40"

Sony kdl-40xbr lcd tv.. turns on for a second then go out and standby light blinks 13 times

I am pretty sure this is a Back Light failure or a bad Ballast. If it is the only fix is to replace the LCD Panel. I would contact Sony at 1800-222-Sony and see if the could help you with repairs and also to get a Factory Service Facility near you to confirm the problem.
Hope this helps,
