    Bad Panel Side Tabs

    Can someone explain the purpose of the side tabs on a led tv? I have a 55" Vizio E550i-B2. I was replacing the screen and when I got it all back together, the display was distorted. Screen not cracked, just distorted colors and bars. I started pressing on the side tabs to see if they had any effect and the display changed to worse as I pressed on different ones. I had read someone here cut theirs off for what purpose I forgot. So nothing from nothing leaves nothing, I cut mine off on that side one by one. Display started clearing up section by section. Tv is perfect again. What did I do? Is this a temp fix? Should I be concerned? Before and after pics with tabs I cut off. Thanks

      Problem

      This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

      70LE660U dark cloud or black screen with sound.
      by Rozp
      Hello Everyone,

      This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

      I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....

      Magnum IA.100 Amplifier Switches on, No Output, Possible Input Side fault?
      by flibidy
      I have here a Magnum IA.100 which belongs to my parents.



      The unit powers on & when the relay kicks in, you get a pop from the speakers (this might sound weird but is usual behavior for this amp). However, you get nothing coming through it from any of the inputs & no pops and crackls from any of the controls.


      Because of the sound from the speaker when the amp turns on I have assumed that the output section probably works but I could be wrong & I'm not sure how to test that side of things further.


      What Ive done........

      KDL-70R550A Peeled off LCD Tabs on left side and perfect picture for 5 minutes
      by Davidhames
      Hi Guys,

      Thought I might try and seek advice on an issue I am having, I got this SONY tv for free that was having some dark greenish colouring, I replaced the T-CON and too my suprise the TV would not boot - I would get 5 blinking red LED lights. I dug deeper into this forum and someone mentioned the fact that it might be the tabs that connect to the LDC panel, and peeling them off should bring back a clear image. I tried this on the side of the T-con that was causing the tv to not boot when plugged in (left) and wow a perfect picture and was booting up fine! All was well and good...

      Toshiba TV bad panel half screen dark - pull tabs or not?
      by ashyt16
      Hi fellas, I have a Toshiba 50u6863db (vestel crap) here belonging to a family member.
      The TV was given me to repair (possibly) as it had developed a blank screen, just back lights and sound.

      Upon further investigation it turned out one of her cats had sprayed on the screen as I could see it on the edge of the panel and tabs and it stank. Looks like it probably shorted the circuitry. I cleaned it up and still the same.

      I initially suspected Tcon board as none of the test points were showing correct voltages. Tried removing one LVDS cable at a time, same result....
