    Sharp Aquos LC-26D40U display issue

    Greetings-

    I have a Sharp Aquos LC-26D40U purchased new in December 2007 (warranty expired). Recently it began this: When turned on, the picture is fine and everything operates as it should. After a few minutes, the screen begins acting up as seen in the photos below. At first, if you turn it off for a few minutes and then turn back on, the screen returns to normal until it warms back up again. Obviously something heat related.

    With the nature of the problem, I suspected and replaced the T-CON board, but that didn't work. I also cleaned and tightened all ribbon cables and their connections. Mainboard?

    This happens regardless of input selected. If the menu is selected, it is also distorted.


    (BTW- all other artifacts on screen only show up in photo. Not actually there)

    Any help is greatly appreciated.


    Best,

    David

    Could be a few things, but I would say start at the video board becouse it does not seem to be consistant. I would look for caps that are going bad, or overheating logic chip. I would also check thecable going to the screen from it. and last it may be a bad screen, but it should do that all the time if it was, and flexing it would make it better or worse depending.

      Could you clarify what mean by "Video Board"? Aside from the T-con the only other boards are the scaler, the input board, the mainboard and the inverters.

            Instead of somone looking for the answer to this problem and then being re-directed to a site that may not be still up, I am posting the post where the answer was found. Below -


            "If you have found a way to re-bond the tabs without using a 1.5 million dollar tab bonding machine please share. I'm not trying to be funny here. If there is a way to do it I would like to know. You can bang on the edge of an LCD panel and sometimes make the tab re-connect (or make more open connections in the process) but I am sure that it will come back."

            "Ya I know - I was skeptical as well.

            Basically the fix involves using some "bumpons" along the top and edges of the tabs that have gone bad which puts some slight pressure on them. The trick is getting them in the right positions so that they manipulate the tab in just the right way and allow the connections to be re-made.

            It may not be a perfect solution, but so far the TV I fixed is holding strong and it certainly beats trashing the TV."

              For people who don't know (myself included) what a bumpon is, look at the sample photo. I called them "rubber feet". I think I'll give it a try on my laptop that has a single vertical line showing on the screen.
