Sounds like a bad optical engine. Hope you're still in the warranty or at least bought an extended warranty.

Make sure you're seated.

an optical engine replacement will probably run you around $1000 - 1500 on that unit, labor included though the labor is the least of the expense. I don't have exact figures and it could easily be a little more than that.

Re: [lmk34] puzzled [In reply to]	Can't Post

i have a tv here with the same problem & i also suspected the optical block. befor i ordered the part for my cust. i decided to get a hold of a sont tech. this was my e-mail reply.
Does the blue line interferes the display or osd?
if yes check for any loose connectors on the optical block like th elcd panel to "c" board.
if not. check the LVDS cables from the "b" board to the "c" board.

now the optical block is hard to work on & dissamble, but i have fixed a hitachi with the same problem by finding a loose cable on an lcd panel in the optical block. the lvds cables (there are 3) are very delicate & if pulling on wrong will break. each cable is 50 to 100 cdn.

Most of the Sony's we've seen with the lines in the pix turned out to be an optical block. Yes, throw up the menu, if it's still there it's the block. You can go even further by throwing the rook IC menu up (optical block service menu). This would further eliminate anything before the engine.

Sony 42" LCD Projection, made 9/03 model FK-42WE610
started with fine blue vertical lines every now and then, and would go away as TV played, now the lines are constant even after 1-or more hrs. of viewing, any help would be great.
thanks lmk34

After speaking to a Sony Tech Rep: about my puzzle situation of constant vertical blue lines, advise was to power down TV for about 3-4 min to reset default settings, stated possible cause-'s would be signal from fire trucks, dvd player, ect. Well after restoring power at the receptical the vertical lines went away, could the optical engine still be the problem and is this only a quick fix for a tempory moment? yes I do have extended warrranty, would like some extra input before moving to the next step towards repair sevice.
