I have a 46 inch Sony Bravia 46 XBR4 set. The right side went out only colored lines appear. The rest of the screen is fine. email address [email protected].

Your LCD panel has failed, it will be cheaper to get a new set. If I have helped you please sign my guest book

These sets use for the most part two boards--each drives the screen on one side---also possible as suggested here the problem is inside the panel or where it connects to these boards--if inside the panel (the entire front screen unit) it is fatal as it cannot be got at and the display costs more than the set did new.

Check the main filter capacitors at its power regulator board. Replace if found bulged or damaged. Replace all secondary side supply rails' filter capacitors too. The fault is with damaged electrolytic capacitors at the power regulator board itself.

Sony has extended warrenty on 46 XBR4 & 46 XBR5 for picture anomalies - like yours. Check with Sony customer service. Good Luck.

Your inverter or cfl bulb is out on the right side.

What you're describing is usually the result of an improperly seated connector. With the power disconnected, open the tv and locate any connectors between the LCD screen and the driver circuit board. Unplug them, and reconnect it assuring it's properly and firmly seated. Be careful when handling these cables as they tend to be quite fragile... take your time.

This is a screen tab fault and in most cases will require the screen replacing

Check power supply for the 24Volts connected to the backlight inverter ,bad caps could be the fault
