Vertical & Horizontal Lines with Flicker on Sharp Aquos LC-39LE440U tv

[KiingJester]

From reading multiple threads, I believe my main issue is with the Tcon board. Took some pics (posted) and a short video. Thoughts from the experts? Can't get a hard reset, unable to view options for the lines and flicker.

Upon probing, seems to get worse when tab from input board is touched. Bad solder? Tab appears to be seated completely. Can also see changes when tv is tapped/bumped/moved.

If I do need to change out the Tcon, what part number do I search for? And are there alternates available?

Side note: For those who may be looking, found a nifty iso of test patterns: TV Test DVD.

t-con boards have no influence over the horizontal lines. unfortunately i would say panel fault.

So we're talking LCD panel replacement I assume? Which is cost inefficient/more trouble than it's worth, yes?

yeah, that would be correct. save the boards to sell or for another repair.
