Re: SHARP LC-70LE857U 2 - 5 blinks

ok... thanks for the extra info. The bezel isn't "one piece" but I don't know how the joint at the corner is made. When I was doing my 70in save, I removed the whole bezel carefully... :-) If you want just do the side that seems to be the problem... you can compare the tabs (5) as to any that have an issue.

You make a good point, I'm going to remove the whole bezel so I can get a good look at the tabs. When I cut them, do I do so as shown in this video?

Or rip them? I have seen both methods so I'm not sure if it matters either way. I am going to start on the bezel now.

Which screws on this should I remove? Should I remove the bottom row as well? Any direction you can provide is appreciated.

I am having a hell of a time removing the bezel, I don't see what is holding the dam thing together. I removed all the screws that I can see on the sides, and there is not much play at all. I really don't see what I am missing with this thing.

OKAY! So! I figured out that all I had to do was pull the bezel DOWNWARDS and I was able to get it to separate. I did also check both sides of the tabs. As you can see in the second picture, I was able to find one tab that is hot to the touch and also appears to be singed.

My question, should I just cut that one tab or remove the whole side? Not sure if there is a particular advantage of cutting one.

Thanks!

Alright! SO, I found the issue, removed all tabs on that side and reassembled the bezel and everything. After everything is said and done I got it working!

woooo hoooo! I'm so shocked that it actually worked. Couldn't be happier, Thanks budwich and lessQQ for all your help!!!!!!!!!

I hope this thread can help someone else in the future!

Nice job, glad you took the time to get it right, some have got in a hurry and removed the wrong side or all of them and that don't work and can't be redone, well done.

time zones are tough... worse during hockey playoffs :-)

glad you got thru it and now have a functional set. It should last for a while. the set that I worked on, is into its 4 year I think.
