sharp LC-60LE650U panel or gate drivers?

[martino]

Hello again,
So I've read up on these sharps with their gate drivers being shorted.
Solution,rip them off the panel on the bad side.
Ok,I think that's what I have to do to this one,but I like to double check with you guy's as pic#1 shows something weird.

I got this tv with only halve screen working,other halve white. They had disconnected the one ribbon from t-con.
You can see in pic#2 that towards the white,the screen is getting darker,making me suspect the gate drivers. The noise on the side of the screen that's working(snow) refreshes quick.
When I plug in that right side ribbon at T-con,I get pic#1,it then shows snow on both sides that refreshes super slow,while still showing that black bar as seen in pic#1

Could use a second opinion on this,rip out the gate drivers on the right side or you guy's got another suggestion?

I was hoping you would say the y-main needed work.

I am going to rip the gate drivers off on the bad side,nothing to lose I'd say. Will first check if perhaps in a stroke of luck there is a shorted cap on the small board right at the panel.
Will report back later today what the outcome is.

So got around to tear the gate drivers off the panel.Super easy to get too.
Now I believe it would have fixed it,as the snow is responsive now and it brings up menu and what not easy and smooth. But the colored vertical lines are still there,I'm guessing they fucked around with it and wrecked that part of the screen.grrrr...
Parting it out,unless DIAH has a smartass solution?
