Re: e701i-a3 no picture but backlights

Well, I can confirm that the Sharp LC-70UQ17U can be "repaired" in the same manner. After removing the metal covers on the right hand side of the panel, I was able to look at the driver chips bonded to the ribbon cables. The top chip was fried and had actually melted into the plastic underneath it. I pulled the cables from the panel (after testing the t-con board) and the result was a beautiful clear picture with no more distortion. Thanks to all those who shared their knowledge on this forum.

Re: e701i-a3 no picture but backlights

Does anyone know if this fix applies to the Sharp Q+ panels? I have a lc-70uq17u that has the same symptoms, but I don't see a bonded chip on the ribbon cables. Thanks in advance.
