My Sony KDL-32XBR4 has vertical lines for 5-15 minutes on startup

Was the telvision impacted? Usually a Blue line on various tv sets such as Sharp and Sony can also indicate a firmware upgrade being needed. Try that first, as to a panel if this is a panel we have in stock cost could be between $200-400 for the part that part cost from Sony coulb be double if you need to purchase new. Call or reference us if you need TV repair in Colorado

That is correct. Sony has extended their warranty on panels for this model until Oct. 31st 2012. Just give Sony a call or simply take your set to an authorized service center and you will get your set fixed for free.

I have the same problem - any solution?

It sounds like you might have a defective LCD panel. Your warranty for your TV is 18 months. Some of these models the warranty was mis-printed and said only 12 months.

If you can open LCD Tv than refit all connector of Mother Board

Yes this thing start happening to my tv too about 4weeks ago and this goes away in about 15 minutes. TV is only 18 month old and I donot have extende warranty. Please post the solution if someone has got it repaired. Thanks

It sounds like you have a video circuit problem and unless you have very good knowledge of electronic and tv circuitry there is not much we can do about that problem.You`ll need the help from a local tv repairman.
Hope they`ll be able to help you.

you might get lucky and be just a bad connection on your LVDS cable but it sounds like a bad lcd panell big bucks

You probably have a bad LCD Panel. If the unit is out of Warrenty, call Sony at 1800-222-SONY and see if they would be willing to help with the repair. They would requier a Service Facility to come out and varify that the Panel is bad.
Hope this helps,

The problem is that the panel has failed. Apparently this is a common problem with LCD TV's between 18 mths and 3 yrs old. If it survives over 3 yrs it is likely to last for a few years longer. The cost of replacing the panel is more than a replacement TV!
