tv repair ask a tech for free

Have a 60 inch Sharp Aquos lcd led tv and I am getting horizontal lines about 3 inches from the bottom of the screen . When the tv is on for a few minutes several black horizontal line appear on the screen and after the tv is on for more than an hour or so the lines change to coloured lines e. g. yellow and red and back to yellow. Is there a fix for this??

Will need to send it in for warranty if still under warranty.


Its not like it was in the old days where you take it to a tv repair shop to get a new tube or capcitor installed. If it goes bad then it is bassiclay send it in for warranty or buy new. After 2 years, a replacement board from the oem will cost more then the tv is usually worth.

Hello... TV's theses days are like computer parts builds, Just easy changeable cards in them.
I fixed mine by parts found on EBAY... a card at a time. The numbers are printed clearly on them for searching. The lowest price card I would try first would be your LCD Display card. It is the one that has Two Thin Ribbon flat type cables going to your LCD.

There are great number of Parts available by People who are parting out shipping damaged units and from Repair Shops, Most Sharp models of TV's share the same cards in them, as long as you have the right part # match to your model... Its pretty much Plug and Try... My Main CPU/GPU card was $65 to fix my Sharp Aqous... But I have spare PS card now $35... and a spare LCD Display card $30. Most sellers have a make offer on their Ebay post, and accept or decline your offers, they would go typically about $15 less.

You could try resetting your Firmware, to enter your Service screen,
- Unplug the TV while it's on
- Press INPUT and VOL DOWN at the same time
- Plug in the TV while holding the above buttons
- You can release the buttons once you see the letter K
- Press VOL DOWN and CHN DOWN at the same time
- The service menu should come up.

There are alot of screws ( keep track of different lengths ) to remove the Plastic back off... Set the monitor front bezel on a Large piece of Cardboard and Flat surface, as to leep the LCD protected from any Pokes.
