Picked up two TVs from Portsmouth today, this one is an interesting one. Has a picture, but basically anything which should be black is green tinted. Picture is otherwise okay; the tinting seems to be quite variable.
I looked on the internet and was able to get a copy of the service manual in about 20 parts which I've now uploaded. One of them is a technical bulletin for this very issue - along with red and blue tinting which appears to be the same issue.

Now it claims that I need to do a software update, unfortunately that means I need a DB-9 to MiniDIN-9 connector, a DB-9 to USB, and the firmware for the TV, none of which I have... So, it may end up being a £43 board swap; but I'll mess around in the service menu to see if I can do it without a board swap.
Camera's on charge, I'll upload pictures later. About to do the teardown.
Never repaired a "real" Sharp before. The newer Sharp TVs are mostly crappy Vestel sets, along with Toshiba... seems there are very few good brands left in the market place.
