Re: Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U "1/3 Screen Blank"

Hi tom66, thanks for the reply.

Which cables exactly are you referring to, the ones labeled "M05xxx"?

If so, those are the ones I was planning on swapping side to side, and they've both been re-seated at both ends of the cable. Do you know if they are interchangeable left to right, in order to see if the problem migrates? I know I can verify by looking at the pinout, and inspecting the traces, but I just want to be sure, in case I'm not in the know about "why not" to do it.

Re: Sharp Aquos LC-52D85U "1/3 Screen Blank"

I've did some searching on this forum... and tab bonding seems to be a very plausible solution to my issue. I think I'll look into that as well... anyways, still open to ideas!

Thanks again!

Hi, New to the forum here, was hoping to get a bit of insight to an issue with a TV I was given. I received it in this condition, so I don't really know the backstory in detail.

It is a Sharp Aquos LCD85U. It powers up fine, but one third of the screen is "blank". Not dim, just missing like somebody drew a straight edge across the screen and magically turned that zone off. It also has, about a half inch apart, from top to bottom, faint ghost lines going across it, sort of like a spiral pad notebook, which is hard to see in the pictures below.

I believe it...
