Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

I had the same symptoms as the OP on a LC-70LE650U. Dark spot towards the middle of the screen and a smeary, slow responding picture on the left side. I removed the left side driver boards and the picture was restored.

Just trying to add to the knowledge base.

In your pic I see all the tabs except the affected one. Visually inspect it to see if it's burnt or run the set and put your finger on it. If it's getting super hot as compared to the rest then yes, remove all tabs on that side.

Are these the tabs i should remove? Do i just peel them off and the affected side and then try out the display? Should I disconnect anything else?

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

How did you remove them?

Disassemble screen and remove frame around edge of panel, remove the tabs from the offending side, like peeling off a bandaid or tape. It is irreversible so do your own research, seems like your right side is bad. Lots of threads in here on it. Vizio/Sharp screens.

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?

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

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

Funny, i was thinking the same thing!

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

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

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

Attached are the pics, now I gotta decide what I'm going to do with the set. I have waaaaaay too many TVs.

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

There you go! Right on !

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

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!

Re: Sharp LC-70LE650U Dark Spot In Screen

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.
