I have an older model year (2007) 1080p Sharp LC-32D62U. Great unit but it does get hot, which is probably a problem for the components inside.
I had fine white horizontal static and moving lines appear one day on all inputs and on the OTA antenna. Also, the on screen display area (volume control, channel number / input display, setup menu etc.) were not solid and all displayed prominent vertical lines.
When I opened the TV i noticed the thermal pads fell off of the 2 large chips on the main board. The adhesive glue that held them on top of the chip had dried out. What can I use to reapply these pads on these two chips? Should I leave them as is or reapply these thermal pads?
Fortunately, after removing the shielding, the main board, and re-seating the cables on the main board the horizontal lines issue & display issue went away and the TV appears to be working normally again. So...what should I do about these thermal pads?
