Donmikes,
I'm not sure what "disparaging nonsense" you are referring to. I've had the back off of my 58" Sharp/Roku television 3 times swapping out the power and main boards trying to find the answer in the hopes that I could help some of the folks that, like me, are frustrated at the lack of caring by the makers of these TVs when they die after 13 months of use. It wasn't until recently that someone posted the information about the light strips being the probable cause and by then, I had bought a new one. But I did take the time to watch the video on how to change out the strips, and what I saw is exactly what I put in my post, nothing more and nothing less. As I stated, I'm not an electrician or television repair person, I'm a firefighter/paramedic who, like most people, just want to turn on my television and not have to deal with shoddy electronics that make up its guts. When you get that piece of *bleep* television apart and back together again and up and running, let folks know how it went and if it was 5 minute walk in the park. As for the amount of time it took me to type out this response - 3 or 4 minutes. The amount of time it will take me to respond to any further questions or concerns on the topic? Zero minutes, because I'm done. You've shown me that taking my time and effort to share what I've found out with others, is a waste of those resources, so thanks for that. Anything further would just be redundant anyway. Good luck and be well, Donmikes.
