    RCA M05WH72S screen stays dark/dim

    I just got this TV free from a family member who says the replaced the bulb not long ago. I know this tv is older and I know it is kind of old but if it would be a cheap fix or easy fix I wouldn't mind keeping it. Now the problem is the screen is really dark even with a room that is dark and the brightness set high. Aside from that I also noticed when I looked at it from a couple different angles I could see around the middle of the screen what looked almost like a lamp reflecting off the screen (Again a dark room). So I am just wondering what would cause this if the lamp was supposedly replaced recently....

    Thanks

      Just leave it hear for other users. Nice easy fix.
      Is this a DLP, LCoS or other type of rear projection set?

        70LE660U dark cloud or black screen with sound.
        by Rozp
        Hello Everyone,

        This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

        I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....

        Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
        by Chrissygizmo
        Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
        I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

        Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
        by Ryan.man
        Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

        My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

        This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

        Sharp Aquos LC-70C6400U Half Screen Dark
        by scubacamper
        I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
        Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
        when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...

        iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
        by smic717394
        Hi,

        I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...
