Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U Flashing 2-5 :-( can it be saved economically?



Yeah, I looked through the thread pretty hard to see if the 3D would still work and could not find out, so now we know for sure....

Re: Sharp LC-70LE757U Flashing 2-5 :-( can it be saved economically?

Hay budwich that fixed it had one very thin line on the left side of the set from the top to the bottom. The bottom tab had signs of being warm not like it had totally overheated and burned but you could tell it had a problem. I'm truly impressed even the 3D functions which is why I wanted to save this because this TV belongs to my mother-in-law and she has a few thousand dollars invested in 3D movies and they don't make 3D TVs anymore, so she's pretty happy tonight.

Thanks a million. you saved another...

Yeah, I know what you mean.... the T-Con boards are rather cheep, now do you think it would be wise to try and get one and give that a shot before I proceed any further if I don't find any burned drivers.

so I hooked that corner cable back up and I unplugged the left corner cable(looking from the rear) Symptoms then was a pretty decent picture with normal color on the left and dark picture in...

Ok, I have the Sharp LC70LE857U with the 2 5 error code. When I disconnect the 2 ribbon cables on the left side (from the back) of the T-Con board it eliminates the 2 5 error code as shown in the picture. It displays a picture on the left half and solid white on the right side(from the Front) of the TV as shown in picture 2. so does this mean the driver board on the left side(from the back) of the TV is the board that I need to remove the Tabs from?...
