    Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

    Hey guys,

    I have the opportunity to pick up a Sharp LC-70LE650U that works but has a dark spot in the screen. Owner says it comes and goes which leads me to believe it is a bad connection at the panel. Anyone experience this and was able to fix it? I have attached a picture of the problem.

    Bad panel. One of the side drivers are shorted or intermittent shorting. Probably recoverable after panel.surgery but nothing that will last forever. I've seen some still running 3 years later, a few fail in weeks.

    Did I leave the soldering iron on?

      Thanks, it may be worth a gamble if i can get it for $40??? If all else fails maybe I can get my money back by parting it out.

          Well owner agree to $40 for the set. I take it the first thing I need to do is expose the side tabs and press on them to see which side is bad?

            You could try but I'm sure the damage has already been done you want to check out the left side facing the screen or the right side if your behind the TV

              Ok,

              I picked up the set and plugged it in, the dark spot and the blurring is on the left (left side being in front of the screen)hemisphere of the screen. I'm guessing it is the left side that's failing.

                YEAH BUDDY, Freakafter8 you were correct, it was the left side tabs that were bad. I removed them and wahlaa, I now have a perfect picture on a 70" Sharp TV for $40. I will send pics shortly!

                        might be a good idea to put thermal pads on the remaining tabs to help them from overheating and failing..

                          I would leave "well enough" alone. The 70 in sharp that did is now over 2 years old.

                              Hey Budwich or Freakafter8,

                              I came across this Vizio M701d-A3R on Craigslist. Looking at the picture it's definitely a panel issue but will the surgery you guys found fix this?

                                iirc that has a sharp panel.
                                if so procedure is the same.

                                          by scubacamper
                                          I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
                                          Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
                                          when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...

                                          Hello everyone, I’ve just been given a Samsung UE55JU6800K smart tv as it had white spots on the screen due to the led lenses falling off. After refitting them & putting the tv back together I thought it was a nice easy fix for a free bedroom tv , then I tried it before screwing the back into place. I realised that the right side of the screen was darker than the other side, I removed the screen again as I thought the backlights had failed but they are fine.
                                          I put the screen back in place & turned it back on . The screen seemed to be ok again but different screens on the same...

                                          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                                          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                                          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                                          Another TV topic!!
                                          I got this sharp TV that when I first plugged it in it showed the sharp logo and then went to the input screen. This was about 30 seconds and then it showed white screen. Now I can't see anything but white screen. This has a separate TCON and Main.

                                          The TCON is getting 12V and several parts are as well but the VGH line is only .5Volts which I thought is totally incorrect.

                                          Am I on the correct assumption that the TCON is bad somehow if I'm only getting that voltage or is there something else I should check?...

                                          I have a older eddy current tester made by Olympus that uses interchangeable TFT-LCD screens. I have two devices that each take the same removable screens. One is an Olympus NORTEC 200D+ and the other is an Olympus SONIC 1200M EMI. I have searched the internet high and low for service manuals for these units with no luck.
