    Sharp will be Hisense by another name?

    I see where Hisense bought Sharps Mexican plant and the rights to make Sharp branded tvs. What do you think this means for one of the better brands that was out there? Will Sharp become cheap Chinese crap?

    Thanks

      What can you say when the aim of todays manufacturer's is to sell, sell, sell at a low price and who cares about the reliability.
      Pile them high, sell them cheap.

          No; tell me more. My comment was based on the tumbling prices of many of today's sets and their appalling reliability.

            They send a box to the customer containing, the power supply, mainboard, and TCON.

            Once the parcel has been recieved they send a tech (no laughing at the back)

            Who proceeds to change every board in the tv. If it works bingo if not they give them a new Tv!

            They don't even take the old one away. I know this cause I've recently acquired a 50M3300 and a 43M3000 both failed backlights.

            Both were less than a year old at the time. Both were junk AUO panels.

              There's nothing like first hand experience. Thanks for the update.

                        by michalk3777@gmail.com
                        Hello, looking for a list of error codes for this TV. made in 2020, its manufactured by Hisense under Sharp brand. No clicks, black screen, no sound, power light is on solid. When I press power, it blinks 5 normal blinks and 1 short. and nothing happens.
                        Anybody has a list of error codes that might apply to this TV? I have not opened it yet.
                        Regards,...

                        Sharp (Hisense) LC-55p6050u - Flashing/dimming row of pixels
                        by DrvLikHell
                        Hello again! I have come back for some wisdom and hopefully for some guidance with this problem I'm having. The TV is a 4k 55" Sharp LC-55p6050u and the problem is every other line of the bottom 32 lines flickers out, comes mostly back, then flickers out again, and repeats this continually. The lines on the bottom right of the screen go out completely while the lines on the bottom left are affected so slightly that it's almost impossible to see it. There is a gradual gradient from appearing almost perfectly fine on the bottom left, to an obvious problem on the bottom right.

                        The...

                        Can I Swap Screens Between Two Hisense 75” QLED TVs?
                        by ShahZaib Ghumman
                        Hey folks,

                        I'm not a professional, but I do have a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to electronic repairs.

                        A friend of mine recently bought a brand new Hisense 75” 4K QLED Smart TV (75E7NQTUK) but unfortunately, he cracked the screen just a few days later. Luckily, he had insurance and got a replacement right away but weirdly enough, the insurance company never asked for the broken unit back.

                        So, I took it off his hands and figured I'd try to repair it myself rather than see it go to waste. I've been searching for a replacement screen but can't...

                        HiSense 55H7B/Sharp LC-55N7000U main boards interchangeable?
                        by DXseekerMO
                        I recently ordered a main board #189557 for a HiSense 55H7B and was sent a main board for a Sharp LC-55N7000U #192209. I sent it back and asked for the right board. They turned around and sent me back the Sharp main board saying it was the same as the HiSense #189557.

                        Am I missing something here? Does anyone know if this is maybe a dual-use board with the HiSense firmware upon it and I just need to call it up from the service menu or something?

                        Thanks in advance.

                        Hisense stuck in Colors cycle like test pattern.
                        by nono34
                        Hello,

                        I accidentally changed the project ID in the service menu of my Vidaa Hisense 100U7KQ TV. When I turn on the TV, the screen displays an RGB color cycle (test mode???). I contacted Hisense, and they sent me a usb_MTK_9618.EU.bin file, but it doesn't work. I can see that the USB drive is being read, and it flashes for about 10 minutes (the screen remains in the color cycle during the firmware reading), then the TV turns off and restarts, but still in the color cycle mode.

                        I want to mention that the 4GB USB is formatted in FAT32 MBR. I've also renamed the file to...
