...can be repaired? Hi and thanks for taking a few seconds to check out my question.
I have a 42" LCD TV. For over a year now it has displayed a shadow, almost from the top to the bottom of the screen. You can see through this shadow and it looks worse on some colours than it does on others. There's no (other) sign of damage to the screen and, aside from this fault, the picture is perfect.
The shadow shape is curved, not solid lines, kind of like a spillage I guess. The shadow hasn't got worse over time.
The set is out of guarantee and I probably can't afford to have it fixed.
Does anybody have any experience of repairing such faults. Is something likely to need cleaning? Is there likely to be something easy to replace (capacitor, etc.) rather than an IC or the screen.
Your thoughts and answers are appreciated,
Dave
Thanks SJBaker1701. Will attempt to take a look when the wife's at work Monday or Tuesday.
