Re: Sharp Aquos LC-70LE660U single horizontal line

Repair shop called...it's the panel. Over $2000 to fix a TV that cost $1999. And the battle with Sharp begins...

Re: Sharp Aquos LC-70LE660U single horizontal line

UPDATE...Now TV powers on, "No Signal" flashes momentarily on the screen and then black. Power light remains constant but no video, no menu. Tried reset using input and vol - while plugging in but nothing. Been through many threads but can't find anything definitive. Not even close to understanding most of the jargon on here just wondering if I should even take the set to a shop or recycling.

Hi folks, hope someone can give me some insight before calling a repair shop. My 17 month old (read: out of warranty) 70" Sharp has a single thin horizontal line about 12" up from the bottom. Very faint at the left edge, gradually darkening to the darkest spot about 2/3 across then growing faint again at the right edge. Called Sharp and they tried the "hold volume up and channel down while plugging TV in" which did absolutely nothing. Sorry Sir, call a repair shop. At the same time and possibly related, the HDMI 3 input became intermittent and then stopped recognizing any signal...

I don't want to hi-jack anyone's thread but can't yet start a new thread. If anyone reads this, I'm looking for insight on a single horizontal line about 12" up form the bottom of my Sharp Aquos LC-70LE660U. The line is faint on the left, getting gradually darker to the darkest point about 2/3 across and then going faint on the right edge. AT the same time (possibly related) the HDMI 3 port recognition went from intermittent to non-existent. Line remains on all inputs.

Thanks for any help.
