Lc-60le550u no picture

Ok so I followed the thread on the sharp save by pulling side driver on the 70 and but my 60 does not have side driver board. As u can see there is no board on the side it's just the tabs with ic. Any ideas ?

Ok no guts no glory. Just pulled the tabs off the lcd on the side that was bad and bam we are back in business

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

Wait....yours is a 60" and by removing the tabs on the bad side of the panel you managed to get the tv fully working again?
That's damn good news as I just picked up a 60" with that problem,read up about it and thought that trick only worked on the 70"

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

holy smokes... another "save technique"!

can you post pictures of the which tabs were removed / where?

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

I was wondering why this wouldn't work seeing as removing the board on the 70" is just removing the drivers essentially.

Wait, there are drivers on both sides of the 60", right ?

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

I thought there are only drivers along the bottom of the 60 that are some how "multiplexed" to handle the horizontals and the verticals. The "mystery" is how / which tabs are doing what in the 60 BUT if there are tabs then they can be removed... although it is wasn't obvious what the is being removed... just the connect on panel or "both ends" (the other end goes where?)

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

my Drivers were bad on the left side of lcd screen. I disconnected the left side of t con and got the tv back on just like they showed on the 70 " thread. Started tearing it apart but after I tore apart I learned there was not a panel like the 70" only the driver tabs. If u will look when u take the bezel u will see them taped down. There is 2 driver panels on each side on the bottom (for left and right on lcd)
There is tabs with drivers on the top,bottom and sides. I think the plug u disconnected on the 70" is actually is a printed circuit board in the lcd on the 60" if u look at the picture I posted that is on the left side of panel.

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

I wished I would of took more pictures. I can help as I best I can I tore the tv down farther then I needed to because I was looking for a plug so only thing that need to done is bezel needs to be taken off after u figure which side is bad
Now the question is how long it will last

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

For clarification in the previous pic it looks like what I would call the "tabs" are still there so did you instead remove the driver ic from each of those three tabs ?

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

First, make sure you have isolated that it is the drivers on that side . Once u do that u pull off the whole tab from the led panel not just the ic.

Re: Lc-60le550u no picture

Thanks for clearing that up. Thought I was getting one of these but as it turns out it has failed led(s).
