SANYO CES32WSD7-B Blurry Screen - Help Please

[SmartestSmarty]

Hello all,

I have a Sanyo CES32WSD7-B

The tv set turns on fine and you can hear and see an image. Sometimes the image is perfect, and other times, it is very blurry, or the image moves in slow motion, with a residual kind of effect. For example if someone walked across the room, you can still see them where they were initially standing for a second or two before it catches up.

Like I said sometimes the picture is perfectly fine.

I highly doubt its the ariel, or the screen.

Any suggestions what I should check?

Thanks in advance.

Is it intermittent,like changes from good,then bad etc...or it's however it decides to fire up,thats how it stays?

Probably the tabs on the LCD panel itself. Sometimes it can be cured by attaching foam-rubber or summit to put light pressure where these attach the glass at one end and the PCB the other.
This is not a proper repair--only panel replacement is a proper cure.

Yes I would say it is intermittent.

Sometimes you turn it on and it's completely blank and stays that way.

Sometimes you turn it on and it has a picture but then goes blurry, and/or blank.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the attaching rubber method? a bit confused here.

Any other suggestions as well would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot for your help so far.

This is a Vestel made TV so I am guessing it has a Chimei or AUO panel, which are well known for tab bond faults.

You can try shimming the tabs but it may not be economical to repair; look up youtube - "Tab bond repair Sony".
