I am new to this forum, so hoping I can get some help. I have a Sharp LC-42D62U and it SEEMS to have the same issues described in a couple of other threads, but I have seen some contradictory advice there so I am posting my issue as a new thread. I will try to attach some images, and give you some description. One day I turned it on and I saw a few "spots" on the screen. It reminded me of what I used to call "snow" on older TVs, but the spots were actually small lines of light color that were pretty stable in their size and position...until you cycle the power. Then the pattern would change. The picture has this problem no matter what input I choose, and when I click input I can see the problem in the window that appears. I have not had a chance to consult a professional repair shop, but from what I read, it sounds like it is NOT the T-con board, but more likely it is the main board. Agreed? (1st question) If so, it seems like my most economical way to go is to have a look at my board and look for one just like it on a site like Shopjimmy.com or Ebay. Agreed? (2nd question). Now for the final question. I have repaired a few laptops successfully, but a LCD TV is new territory for me. If I am grounded and take my time, is changing out the board relatively straight forward? Once done, is there any adjustment/calibration that needs to be done? (Last question...for now) Sorry if this is all basic stuff, but this is my only TV and really would not have to wait to save up for another one.
