Sharp LC-32D12E - Line down screen

[WallArt-Online]

Hi,

I have the above tv that has gotten a line down the screen. i have removed the back panel and done a visual inspection. On first glances i don't see any damaged components.

What causes this sort of line?



Many Thanks

A failing tab bond I believe.

Tab bond or defective LCD panel.

This is not a Sharp TV. It is an Argos/etc. rebadge of a Vestel set, with an extremely poor LCD panel in it. That is why it failed.

It's crazy how many of these sets are failing with panel issues now, hundreds of them all dying. And not repairable!
