Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I had gotten a warranty replacement on the tv so i just put this one in the basement once I got the knew one. Because there is a small risk to cutting the tabs and the lines were very skinny (at the time) I just left it.
I was going to start using it in the basement while exercising.. then I got rhabdo, spent time in the hospital and stopped exercising for a long while as mentioned.
Anyway.. so you're thinking the driver tab exacerbated the power flux and possibly shorted out the power bo...

Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
So, I ended up just mounting the old tv in the basement to use while on the treadmill. I hadn't turned it on in almost 8 months until about 3 weeks ago. It came on fine except the horizontal line was much thicker and there was a second thicker line toward the bottom.
This was fine with me as i could still watch Netflix without much distraction.
We had some ice storms last week that knocked out power. The power went out a few times, and when it went out it would kind of flicker. This tv was off but plugged into a surge protector....Last edited by eaglei22; 02-16-2019, 10:39 AM.Leave a comment:

Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
Thanks man! Lots of great info. Im armed with enough information to move foreard if needed. Yea i was thinking of just leaving it and dealing with it., but the line bothers me, as im very big on picture quality. But its a great tv. I LOVE the picture on it. I purchased a new Samsung curved tv last year 65" for the bedroom true 4k, and this one still blows it away.
I do have a 4yr protection plan on it which is up this summer. So i lucked out with it happening now and not later.
But I love the tv, so I want to keep it....Last edited by eaglei22; 01-23-2018, 01:06 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
Just to be clear, you have to pull off all the tabs on the bad side? Not just the "bad" tab?
Also, the side with the bad tabs will not display a white screen when white ribbon unplugged but still try to show image of screen?
Just want to make sure im getting it right from your article.
Also currently, i only have a thin black line, with intermediate screen flicker. Is that black line part of a bad tab driver too?Leave a comment:

Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
Thanks for the time and in depth response. Things seem more clear now.
I did see this article too:

Re: Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
What is the purpose of these? What are possible side effects of removing them, and because a driver is essentially software, what causes these to go bad?Leave a comment:

Sharp TV Bad tab drivers?
Have a 70 inch Q+ Sharp, about 4yrs old.
Over the weekend the screen started flickering. A simple power off and on of the tv fixed it. But yesterday it did it two more times, now i have a very thin black bar from right fading to left. A power cycle doesn't make this bar go away. Tried unplugging tv and holding power button to drain power as well.
Is this a panel issue?
