    Re: Bad driver(s)? Sharp LED TV

    btw. from what I've read about the P8404 connector is that it's a specific power source for 3d. The 12v for the Tcon such run through the LVDS..

    Yeah they saved precies pennies avoiding printing on these boards...

      I'm as sure as I can be that I'm seating that cable correctly. Also since removing it and reseating it the symptoms are all the same as before I touched it.
      but I am not sure of this "statement"... you posted a picture of the "old card" versus "new" and they don't look the same at all.

        you have not posted any picture of the back to show how things are connected so one can only guess at "unlabelled" boards based on "connector familiarity"... that's a connector that I have seen on the tcon that provides 12v in, at least on some set. :-)

          I'll see if I can't find that fuse...
          you are referring to a chip on the tcon.... I was referring to the main board. You have checked / played with 2 tcons with "no good results" that is why I am suggesting moving on up to the main board as opposed to doing much more in tcon land at this point.

            I'll take your experience over internet speculation

              I'm leaning in a similar direction. Not knowing enough about how these things are put together I suppose I can't rule out the panel although to me I would expect other failure symptoms: half of the panel or a portion or image distortion etc. Not such clean and simple failure.

              As soon as the TV is 'playing' anything the blue disappears. That paired with the dimming and trying two t-cons has me leaning towards some sort of chip failure on video processing. I'm hoping so.

                Sharp Aquos LC-70C6400U Half Screen Dark
                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...

                Samsung UE55JU6800K half screen dark
                by Chrissygizmo
                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...

                Sharp LC-70UD1U Half screen Normal half screen is white
                by Megan0
                My Sharp LC-70UD1U Screen is black and flashing, "I attached the video"

                Well, I opened the back cover and as you can see in the picture, I unplugged 2 L (left) ribbon, TV turned ON, but half of screen (Right) is normal, and the other side (Left) is white. I continued to test...
                Result:
                I swapped the ribbons L<-->R = Blinking 2x power light, 5x timer light
                Unplugged 2 R Plug 2 L = Blinking 2x power light, 5x timer light
                Unplugged 2 L Plug 2 R = Blinking 2x power light, 5x timer light

                Only in the first test, where I did not

                Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                by Ryan.man
                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...

                LG 55UH6150- trouble powering up, then half lit screen (pictures!)
                by valvashon
                The 55" LG has been in the basement for a few months without being used. Turned it on yesterday, set came on as it should and showed a complete screen for about 5 seconds (was on a broadcast channel but no antenna was connected), then the screen went mostly dark with about 1/3 of the screen on the right lighting up with brighter lines in that lit part (sorry, no pictures of that). Power LED was cycling too, preventing the TV from fully powering up.
                Pulled the back off, all boards looked OK. Pulled the LED connector, turned the set on to see if it would power up but I don't belive it...
