Glue on Bravia display frame, from advertisement placard -REMOVE?

Natural Eucalyptus oil or natural Tea Tree oil will dilute the glue and enable you to rub it away without affecting the PVC.
(I would prefer not use a solvent such as mineral turps or kerosene or methylated spirits. These will all soften and remove the glue at differing rates but might cause minor swelling in the PVC material. Less likely with the methylated spirits though. You can test a small inconspicuous area first to see if there is any effect).

swaffordrand,

An LCD screen cannot produce light. It needs an additional light source.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight is a CCFL or a series of LED lights, (For present technology)

The Toshiba Qosmio E15-AV101 uses a CCFL.
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.

Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale.
(Usually 2mm Wide, by close to the height of the LCD screen, Long )

A screen Inverter is used to convert the power (Electricity) of the laptop, for the Backlight, and LCD screen.

90 PERCENT OF THE TIME the fault is the screen Inverter.

The front thin plastic frame in front of the LCD screen, is the Display Bezel.
Resembles a picture frame in it's design.

Toshiba's name is Display Mask.

The screen Inverter is located behind the Display Mask, and mounted at an area below the LCD screen.

A) Remove ALL power. Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery.

B) It would be best to buy, and wear an ESD wrist strap. Average cost is around $3 to $6. (Electro Static Discharge}
Connect it's alligator clip to a good ground source.

One example,

http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103245

Your body carries Static electricity. Static WILL fry out (Short Circuit) the delicate hardware components inside a computer. The ESD wrist strap prevents that.

It is arguable that you are just replacing a screen Inverter, and the above is 'over-kill'.
I would rather spend $6, and not have to worry that I could accidentally make my laptop an expensive paperweight, or doorstop.

Use a multi-compartment container for the various screws you will remove. SOME screws look VERY similar to other screws.

DO NOT mix them up.

C) Open the laptop, lay the Display Assembly all the way back. (Down)
Pull up on the right Hinge Cover, and remove it. Do the same for the left Hinge Cover.

To the immediate right of the right Hinge Cover, and immediate left of the left Hinge Cover, are two Philips head screws to remove.
These screw heads are covered by a piece of masking tape.

The tape is carefully removed, (May be able to use it again), and the two screws removed.

The Display Mask is very thin, therefore quite flexible.
The mask has plastic tabs that protrude from the outside edges.
There are matching tabs on the Display Cover.

(Display Cover: Plastic top cover of the laptop. Covers the LCD screen)

The Display Mask tabs snap into the Display Cover.

Go to either the Left side, or Right side of the Display Mask.
Go to the inside middle edge.
Halfway between the top and bottom of the Display Mask, and to the inside edge against the LCD screen.

Use a soft cloth laid on the LCD screen to protect it, and use a finger to gently start lifting on the middle/inside edge of the Display Mask.
(Cloth is to protect LCD screen from your fingernail)

With the Display Mask lifted in the middle, the width of a fingertip, ease another finger beside it. Start moving away from the first finger, and lifting up on the Display Mask.

The tabs of the Display Mask will start 'popping' out of the Display Cover.
Go around to the top of the Display Mask, and head towards the opposite side.

Once the Display Mask is halfway popped loose, the rest of the mask should come free.
Note that you have to slide the mask over to the Left, to clear the Latch, when removing the mask.

You will now see the screen Inverter,mounted to an area at the bottom of the LCD screen.

Unplug the cables from the Left, and Right side of the screen Inverter.
Note that the connectors on the cables are different, and can't be mixed up, as to where they plug in.

Remove the single Philips head screw from the bottom/middle of the screen Inverter.

Test the screen Inverter before removing;
This requires a sensitive (Read fairly expensive) multimeter,

http://www.fonerbooks.com/test.htm

Due to;
A) Low Cost,
B) Ease of access,
C) No tool available to test,
D) 90 percent of the time the fault is the Inverter,
the screen Inverter is usually replaced by the consumer.

Backlight:

If the screen Inverter proves to Not be the problem;

Replacing is a procedure that is fairly intensive, even for an experienced tech.

Why?
The LCD screen (Toshiba = LCD Module) is composed of many layers.
These layers are set in a specific pattern by the factory.

The layers are held in place by a Screen Frame. A thin metal frame that resembles a picture frame. (Toshiba = P-Chassis )

Part of the screen frame is removed. The screen frame Bezel.
(P-Chassis Bezel)

[ The P-Chassis, or screen frame, is composed of TWO parts. The lower main half which is the P-Chassis, and a thin upper half which is the screen frame Bezel, or P-Chassis Bezel.

This will all make more sense when you view it in the Service Manual, on Page 281 ]

Anti-Static computer gloves are usually worn to prevent soiling the LCD Panel, (LCD screen)
(Soiling = Oil from your fingers, dirt, and also helps prevent scratching the LCD screen )

There is a panel, or Board, that goes across the top. Three screws are removed. Then open the bent portion of the TCP of the board, and remove the Backlight.

The Display Assembly needs to be removed from the laptop, in order to perform replacing the Backlight lamp. (Bulb)

You must have set up bridging on your PC - remove it.

I have this exact same problem on my same model TV. It started just before Christmas. Have you been able to find any resolution?

I sent a premium offer to solve tv issue but got no response so far, not sure why.
I'm Sony tech and can be helpful to resolve this problem.

I have the same TV; the 52" XBR9. I bought it also a year ago. I am having the same problem. My TV flickers, images are double and tripled sometimes. But if you hit the TV on the back, not to hard, it fixes the problem. I am having a technician come on down to my home to take a look at it. My manufactures warranty is ending in three days. Thank god it had happened before that. The TV is mostly the problem here and not your cable box.

i have a 46 inch sony bravia that i bought in 2007. recently i have noticed that the screen is showing horizontal lines (purple?) about that come and go. any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
Press " i " (info) button on TV remote and on-screen display will disappear.

The screen consist of two parts: touchscreen(TS) itself and LCD screen. They're attached mechanically, not with glue or solder.
TS glued to metal frame and by mean of this frame(mechanically) attached to LCD(like shoebox cover) - you can see pits on side.
1. With sharp blade of razor or scalpel gently remove this frame with TS glued on top.
2. Then remove TS from the frame (I simply broke it and removed glass pieces from the frame)
3. Clean the frame with alcohol to remove glue and grains of glass.
4. Glue new TS to the frame at ONE SITTING!
5. Wipe out dust from LCD and inner surface of TS and attach the frame.
6. Buy conducting glue and connect 4-contacts of TS cable with LCD cable. Put adhesive tape over them to maintain electric connection.
That's all.

I also had the same problem my Yardage Pro Compact 600. We live in the desert and I often leave my golf bag in the trunk of the car. One day the display on the rangefinder was shifted up so I assumed that the heat affected something. After checking with Bushnell, their answer was to ship it in and couldn't guarantee a cost.

So I also peeled back the rubber grips from the bottom - you only need to go far enough to unscrew the four screws. From there you have to snap apart the case so the top shell comes off (be sure to remove the battery and cover first). Once you've done that, unscrew the top circuit board (mine only had 2 of the 4 screws from the factory). Be careful not to unplug any of the 3 ribbon cables.

Move the top circuit board aside. Looking from the top front, there is an assembly at the back that holds the laser/reader, it is held in by 3 screws, 2 on the back left and 1 on the back right - remove them. Carefully remove the assembly leaving the 2 ribbon cables in tact. The 3rd (largest) ribbon cable is taped to the center sighting barrel. Gently remove the tape, the ribbon cable disappears into a **** in the back of the sighting barrel near the eyepiece, it is connected to the LCD display. Now flip the unit around and looking from the back eyepiece, remove the 2 screws near the ribbon cable. Now you should be able to lift the eyepiece up and away from the sighting barrel.

The ribbon cable and LCD window at the end of the cable should be glued on two corners inside the eyepiece (worse case the LCD is loose as mine was because the glue had deteriorated). First scrap out the old glue from the LCD and eyepiece frame, being careful to not let the remnants drop inside the eyepiece or you will see these in the viewfinder once you get it back together!

Using thick superglue and being careful not to touch the LCD and leave a smudge (or forget how it came out as your yardage display will be backwards!), put a tiny drop of glue on each lower corner of the eyepiece frame. Now carefully position the LCD window and push down to the bottom of the eyepiece frame. Try to center it left to right as near as possible (mine had a little gap on each side) while holding the LCD against the bottom edge. Keep it there until the glue dries.

Now reassemble everything, making sure the sighting barrel and especially the laser/reader assembly fits snugly in its cradle before reinstalling the 3 screws, then install the top circuit board. Snap the top cover back on and before putting the 4 cover screws in, put in the battery/cover and test it. Remember if your display is reversed you installed the LCD backwards!
