    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    OK... you might want to start your own thread for an 80. But in the mean time, if I understand you right there are tab cable on both sides of the set like the 70's.
    You are saying that there are no side boards but that the tab cables have to be interconnected some how and further, they have to be connected to the bottom boards somehow. You need to confirm this better. Of course, if you start your own 80 thread, freakaftr8 might spot it as he has worked on the 80 at least once... it had led issues if I recall.

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    I got a tv, but this is a 80 inch sharp. LC-80LE757U the driver it self does not have board like the 70 inch sharp...it is just a tab with driver only, it has 4 on each side of the panel how this work....am thinking that instead of adding a board there use drivers like jump one to another and connecting with the bottom tabs. I can see veins running from battom to the top drivers. I don't know if am right. ........??????need help in this one bit different as the 70 inch .......

    Yes it had one line, it look like half screen from left to right like it bearly getting to the right, but it stop like half way of screen.the other black lines were the flickering it was doing. I already remove the tab bonding directly from the screen,it was though job to do, because of the side protective aluminium trim. Well any was it was fix I was like woow new tv. I wonder why ,but we'll it is go quality tv for to watch fifa games jeje......I got another 80 inch tv sharp LC-80LE757U ...the this is doing it has a line it is weird line it do like tranverse the picture it's thin and long from right to left and it is like half of the screen like if she wanted to get to the left, but she stoped at Half way horizontal....

    Yes. If that's the problem and by disconnecting it resolved the issue. This is only the case if there are no other issues causing the problems with the TV and by disconnecting the back left side cause you Tv to straighten out yes your picture will be darker on that side. Do you have any horizontal lines going across the screen?

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    So I went ahead and removed the left side driver tabs from the lcd panel. And BOOOOOM it worked! Perfect picture across the screen.

    I realize this is more of a salvage than a full repair, but I'm happy. The drivers on the other side will likely eventually go, maybe sooner than the last ones because they are doing double duty, but the set was given to me and any time I get out of it with our family I'll be happy!

    Thanks for your help guys. Without your help and the other thread I would have never know to try this.

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    I think you are seeing a driver issue. On the sharp that I looked at, the tcon did make noise when the thing was running with a "bad side". When you disconnect one side or the other, you may not actually take out the driver from the load on the overall circuit but you are reducing the load on the tcon overall because it is only "pushing" to half the screen. But as freakaftr8 indicates, there is no going back once you go that way so for sure take your time on this.... plus its only TV... you can't be missing much.... :-)

    I think you would be wise to get a hold of some test patterns... they are on various discs both as part of "extras" and as actual test discs (wow for instance). I think this will provide you with a better "image" of what you are looking at. Further a white screen is not a good screen to look at for this problem as I found the lines aren't "dead lines", they are some form of "delay" line across the screen (ie. shifted).

    Man that's a tough call. Possibly if cheap enough try a tcon board but I still think it's a panel problem. It's your call.

    No horizontal (or other) lines at all. Picture looks fine, just dark on left side. Also, no buzzing from the t-con board like there is when the driver is plugged in.

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    Ok and when it is in that state with the driver disconnected like you showed in that picture can you display something on the screen other than a white screen and actually see an image and within the image are there any horizontal lines spanning horizontally across the screen?

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    OK, I really appreciate your help.

    I had previously disconnected the left side drivers ribbon cable at the bottom. The flickering and horizontal lines went away completely and the left side of the screen was darker.

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    That's what we're trying to figure out before we decide to butcher the panel. We need to rule out the t-con board. The flickering you're getting on the screen almost looks like a driver is loading down the tcon board especially the core voltage to the main processor to the point where it wants to shut down with the 2- 5 error code but its not

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    I'm now feeling fairly confident that the issue is isolated to the left half of the screen (cables on right side when looking at the back of the set). I'm thinking that removing the tab drivers on that side may fix the issue, but hesitant to go ahead and do this if it could be just a bad t-con board.

    Is it likely that the buzzing sound on the t-con board and the screen flickering when one side is plugged in are caused by a short on the corresponding tab driver. Based on my evidence is there any chance that it is the t-con board itself that is the issue?

    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    I would say that looking at the front of the TV the left side driver tabs there is some sort of problem. Now if you can dig into this a little deeper can you pull the black side metal frame off the panel and very carefully disconnect the white cable going to that side? It is about three quarters in length and is connecting to the bottom of the left side side drivers? This is looking at the side of the panel on the left side of the TV facing the front. This cable is located on the left side near the bottom. It will look like this .

    Once you do this power of the TV and see if the flickering persist. Most likely what you're going to see how is the left side is going to be darker then the right. But what I'm looking for is any horizontal lines going across the screen

    Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
    by advant
    This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

    I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

    Sharp LC-52E77UN TCON activation WITHOUT motherboard. I2C reverse engineering help?
    by moltensolderlabs
    Hi everyone. [Sorry for the long, detailed post in advance].

    I have a Sharp LC-52E77UN which randomly shuts down--could be within 15 minutes, could be 40 minutes, over 1 hour, it's unpredictable. From reading the service manual, I was able to get into service mode (where the K is displayed), and found the following error flag toggled: "04 Initial Communication Error 4 -- Error reason: To the communication setting reception," which, from contacting an eBay TV repair store, I was told is caused NOT by a bad TCON (which was my first guess), but rather the motherboard....

    TCL 50S535 bad tcon or panel issue?
    by x_orange90_x
    Just bought this for 10 bucks yesterday hoping to fix it. The guy said water dropped inside from a dehumidifier hose and it started showing black and white vertical bars then went blank. When I got it home and turned it on it came on fine and displayed correctly but I was noticing faint vertical bars in the image. After a little bit I turned it off and back on and it was a black screen again. I opened it up to check for water damage and corrosion but didn't find anything of the sort. I cleaned the ribbons anyway and reconnected them but still got a blank screen. If I disconnect the right side...

    Sharp LC-65N7004U / 65A6100M not powering on
    by vizi0n
    Hello Badcappers,

    I have this tv that does not turn on. There are 2 model numbers on it : LC-65N7004U and 65A6100M.

    When powering on the tv, the Sharp logo briefly appears with a dim S, and the tv turns off. While the Sharp logo is on the screen, the power light will blink 6 times (the last blink being very very quick).

    I suspect a bad LED driver, or bad LED(s). Do you have any suggestion on how to troubleshoot this ? I have ordered a LED tester and should be getting it next week

    Here is a link to a video showing what happens:

    LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
    by Hakuu
    Hi There,

    This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

    After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

    More Details

    Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...
