    Tcon 80 pin ribbon cable- How To Remove

    I'm working on a Sharp Aquos exhibiting blink code 2 long & 5 short.
    Procedures asks to disconnect the two 80 pin ribbon cables, power on TV and note if the backlight comes on then if there is damage visible to the LCD panel.

    I don't want to damage the ribbon cable so I'm asking for the correct procedure to remove the two cables. See attachment below.

              Good luck, ribbon cables can be pretty delicate and must be seated flush. you will notice either tabs or a line marked, or both. To show they are seated before closing the latch. Its important especially on plasma panels to make sure they are seated or it may arch or burn them.

                  T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)

                  Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                  The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                  Original T-con:
                  Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                  First replacement T-con:

                  I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  Sharp LC-70LE650U vertical black and red bars
                  by ninja_zx11
                  Hi all,

                  70" LED TV is Sharp LC-70LE650U.

                  Initial problem was horizontal lines and slow motion lurrs on the bottom left of the screen. So I removed both the left and right ribbon cables from the T-con board and tried to clean it with alcohol and when I put it back, this issue appeared. I tried carefully reinserting the ribbon bon cables but same thing. I checked the traces of the ribbon cables with magnifying glass and everything looks good. I cleaned the small jumper ribbon cable on the left side of the screen which cured the horizontal line and slow motion blurs...

                  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...

                  Sharp LC-80LE844U Blinks 2 slow, 5 fast
                  by joblo37pam
                  It's been a while since I've checked in here or needed input on narrowing down what to replace on a TV repair, but I've got one on my bench now that has me wondering. The lack of part (board) availability means I may need to do some component-level diagnostics, and a second opinion is always good when it comes to that.

                  The issue - Sharp LC-80LE844U does not display. Power light comes on for a while, then you can hear a relay click off and the light blinks twice slow, then five times fast. Service manual points to 'Panel Power Supply Error' with this code, but isn't much more help...
