Yes it is quite simple but the bigger the screen, the harder it is to remove and reinstall. There were some adhesive for the plastic frame of the TV that needed to be removed to get to the screws securing the metal brackets but no big issue there. Just have 2 or 3 people hold the screen with equally distributed load along the middle and both ends. As for the led bar, I just went with the led strip since the part was compatible with the TV model. I’m not sure if bars would work or not but yeah just install it in a straight line and make sure all the end pieces of each lines are connected prior to putting the tv back together. My polarizer ripped a bit on top and it shows a slighter dark colors due to it but its alot better than a non-functioning TV. Good luck to you and hope it gets fixed!
Just wanted to say that I also got the 65” Sharp at Walmart on the 2018 Black Friday Deal and it just started doing the boot loop. One thing I did notice is the left side of the screen is dim/flickering so I’m sure it is also the LED strips like people have said on here
I also got this TV during Black Friday 2018 and it started looping today. Right side of the screen is dimmer than the left side when the logo appears, so it is the LED strips taking a dump.

Update: So I took the TV apart and found a single bad LED in the top right of the screen.
My TV is a LC-65Q7300
unfortunately the way this TV was built made it extremely difficult to get apart with our breaking anything, which I did.
I took pictures and now have a better understanding of how to possibly get the TV apart successfully. If anyone has the same TV and would like some tips, just let me know, into the trash this goes…
Let us know the procedure or process used to disassemble the TV. I have the same model and issue, most likely it is the bad or fail LED. I purchased new LED and will try and replace the defective ones. The bad LED is the cause for the looping or rebooting. The TV system board does a system check at startup, if any of the components fail the startup test, you will get that looping or rebooting.
The closest repair guide I found was for a Sharp LC-58Q737OU here:
I'll be attempting the repair when the parts get here in a few days.
