Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been in, life getting in the way etc.
Recently was given a Sharp LC-37HV4E to repair, a strange one this - comes with an AVC unit which separately controls the video. It is linked to the TV (monitor really) by what looks like a DVI cable, and some other strange one I've never seen before (perhaps a proprietary one)
The story is that this TV was working, and after a house move is now not.
Long story short, the picture is very washed out looking, looks almost like the brightness is turned up too high. Only a tiny hint of colour in it. Anyway, pic attached. Took it close up so the camera could actually see what was on the screen.
Any tips before I dig deep into this one? (Already tried reseating the ribbon cables to LCD and looked over the boards for suspect caps, gave the video chips a poke on the main board in case of poor joints etc)
Cheers and its good to be back
