I checked the contiuity of the all flex cables between main board to T-Conn to Panel. Since I have a schematic I will try to probe the lines. It may give me a clue as to where the defect is located.
It is not a function of the input. The display anamoly is present with all inputs (I.e., TV tuner and DVD inputs). The OSD also appears to have the distortion as well. Only the left half of the screen is affected.
I replaced the T-Conn board and got exactly the same problem. Does not appear to be a T-Conn problem. Is it possible to investigate this a little further to isolate to LCD screen??
I now have the service manual with schematics for the TV monitor.
I have a 37" sharp LCD with a image problem. The right half of the picture is fine. The left side has distorted colors (washed out and dark). The images on the left side do not refresh at a normal rate (I.e., when a picture is supposed to diasppear the image slowly fades).
I suspect that the LCD controller (T-Con) board is bad. There are two flex connectors that I suspect controls each side of the picture. Next task is to clean and reseat the connectors.
I was going to buy and study the Sharp service manual. But I thought someone has any experince with this...
