Re: Sharp LC70le650x side tab removed, most of the picture returned

Tried cleaning the area where the tabs were with alcohol and nothing much happened. Pretty similar with the lines across the screen.

But... Now there's a black spot that grows in the middle of the screen... And the picture freezes.

Is it time to say goodbye to the TV? Or anything else I can try as a last effort?

If it is buggered, I'd like to part it out.

Would what is happening indicate a bad main board or tcon? I'd hate to sell someone a bad part....

Hi all,

I have a sharp LC70le650x which had the same symptoms described in multiple threads on this website. I read a few and got the courage up to pull the side driver tabs off the offending side, in my case on the right (like most I read in here)

First power up following this I still had nothing. Second the same. Third and and every time after that, I get a full picture, but with two bands of "vertical lines" running across the screen.

Is it possible that I did something wrong pulling the bottom tab off?

Or that the left...
