    Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

    Well technically these drivers there is a bank of drivers on one side of the screen and there is a bank of drivers on the other side both doing the same thing. The second side of drivers relieves the stress from the first side of the drivers running the horizontal axis. When one side fails it essentially loads down the opposite side of drivers thus putting stress on them twice as hard as one complete side removed. Since it seems that these panels are burning out one side of drivers there is no alternative fix to repairing the panel besides throwing it away. So this is a last resort Repair to a LCD panel that would be otherwise rendered useless. Until somebody comes up with a cheap alternative to a tab bond replacement unit for the masses, this is the only thing that seems to work. There must have been 20 or more Repair as of August of last year and I have not heard or seen any of them fail as of yet with this Repair. As I myself have two tvs now 1 Vizio and 1 sony both still working fine. Everything stays the same, refresh rate colors and brightness. The only drawback to this repair it is just a little bit harder on the opposite side of drivers that are still running the panel. But like I said I have not seen a single failure yet, not saying that it's going to not to happen because it very well could but this is least gives some life left into an otherwise useless television
    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      hey, but is it true about removing the tab driver from the left side. i have the same problem as the other guy with their tv LC-70LE757.. i disconnected the left driver and the flickering stops, but the left side gets a darker image. so by removing it, it will be fix.

        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?
        Did I leave the soldering iron on?

            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 .......

                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.

                  Hi guys,

                  For those of you that has peeled off the left side ribbons that go directly on the panel to fix the common issue on this set is the repair still holding up? just wondering how long a repair like this lasts. Please advise.

                  Thank you.

                    The "original saved set" is still going fine since Oct. The owner gets tears in his eyes every time I ask if it is still working.... he can't believe I / we save him $2500 for a replacement set... :-)

                        I have the EXACT same TV (LC-70LE757U) as grizgza started this conversation with and the EXACT same issue. I have read this thread several times and am only confused as to how to get access to remove the ribbon cables from the panel. Do I need to take off the outside bezel to get access or just loosen the driver board and pull the flex cable loose?

                            Not finding any useful videos to help me remove the offending TAB. I see some posts here which say "tear it off". Is that really the only way?

                              if you want your tv back into service, "a tearing you will go".

                                budwich,
                                The only reason I am thinking about doing this is because of your efforts. Thanks for asking so many great and detailed questions and thanks to the BADCAPS community for being so helpful.

                                Here are 3 photos of my situation
                                One with everything connected, one with the left side TAB driver board disconnected at the bottom white ribbon cable and one with the right side TAB driver board disconnected (left is re connected) at the bottom white ribbon cable. Since this is non-recoverable I just want to be sure I do the correct side. I am thinking it is obvious that the right side needs to come off - agree?

                                  it would appear that indeed the right side (looking from the front of the set) is an issue. As I always suggest, you can do yourself a favor (and piece of mind) by feeding a known test pattern into your set (color smpte bars, equivalent... which can be found in a number of dvds for helping with tv setup)... this will show a picture that is then known to the forum which may highlight other things as opposed to a "running video unknown" video which might be hard to pick out issues from. Anyways, make sure your set is well supported when you remove the frame to get at the tab driver cables as any flexing in the panel will likely bring you to "disaster" in terms potential panel cracks.
                                  If you are successful, like most others, you will be enjoying a beautiful picture again.

                                    If I lay the TV face up on the carpet how can I get the bezel off?

                                    Can the bezel screws come off while tilted up then gently lay down the screen on the carpet? Then undo the clips?

                                    Ready to try tonight!!

                                      Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U flickering display

                                      Not sure how people work with the tv on carpet.

                                      Basically, I worked on the 70" on a "table top", facing up. :-) This allowed me to unscrew all the bezel screws and lift it off..

                                      I used "wooden standoffs" (2X4 "blocks") strategically place on the "backside" of the set to raise it off the "table surface".... placed on the various empty metal backing plate and frame cross members. The "table" surface was less than the area of the tv. The "wood standoffs" were screwed / attached to fence boards which ran across the table to give "overall supporting footprint" for the table.... basically a support "skeleton" Let's say the table was 3'X5'. The boards and standoffs could be readily position to support most of the set and still allow you to unscrew the bezel from the backside and lift it off. Of course you first have to removed the back cover along with some of the other stuff (speakers). It allows you to leave the boards connected if you chooose your wood pieces wisely... :-) Because the set's bezel and frame are still mostly intact, the set does not flex too much but you still have to lay onto the table / "skeleton" with help and care... gently tipping onto its back.

                                      I am sure there are others ways but for me that was the easiest way as I had the wood pieces around.

                                      I think you might be able to re-attach the stand (if your unit has one), after the back has been removed. The you might be able to stand the tv up on its stand and work from there with a vertical panel... only conjecture on my part.

                                        Change the name of the site to BADASS. This site saved me big time. If you have a Sharp 70" LC and are experiencing this issue read this thread. Attached are a couple of pictures. I had a 40" x 40" table that I put the TV on face up and crawled around underneath the take the screws for the bezel out. I went all the way around taking out about 50 screws but as I found out when taking the side away that was unnecessary. I could have done just the side I needed and a few on top / bottom to get that side piece off. The other picture is of the offending driver IC which had melted into the plastic. The TAB bonds peeled off like tape. Re-assemble and I am back watching TV.

                                        Thanks to all.

                                          glad it worked out. yes there are lots of screws, some holding panels and frames, some holding bezel and frame and some holding bezel members.

                                          another one DOESN'T bite the curb!

                                            Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board

                                            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...

                                            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....

                                            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...

                                            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

                                            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
