Have a JVC HD-Z886 61inch, there appears to be some black spots behind the screen. Looks like dust, most at top of screen, not a big problem. Is there any way to clean behind the screen? When new the TV arrived with the screen not secured at the top, later had to have repair correctly attach top of screen to back of unit, possible dust entered at that point???

  • The most severe problem dust can cause in an LCD TV is a short circuit. This occurs when dust enters the television's casing and settles on one or more of the internal circuit boards. Enough dust can cause a short circuit, which will prevent the TV from working at all. In other cases, it will damage picture quality or prevent certain features from working properly.

    Because a short circuit can only occur when enough dust is present inside the TV, this problem happens after the TV has been in use for a number of years, meaning that it will not be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. In many cases of short circuits, repair is expensive, and you are better off buying a new set.
  • Image Quality
  • Dust can also have an effect on an LCD TV's picture quality without entering the LCD's casing. Dust that settles on the surface can distort the picture and decrease its brightness. While it's easy to wipe the dust away, use only a soft cloth and mild cleaning solution to avoid scratching the screen or causing permanent damage with caustic cleansers.

    Dust under the screen can be more difficult to clean. Using compressed air to blow the dust out is the best option, short of disassembling the set to clean the screen from the inside. Keeping the surface of the screen free of dust is usually sufficient to prevent dust from getting under the screen.
  • Control Problems
  • Another effect dust can have on a an LCD TV occurs when it enters the space around buttons, making it difficult to control the television. On certain sets, dust will cause buttons to stick or prevent them from engaging when pressed. Using compressed air to blow the dust out, or resorting to using only the remote control, will solve this problem.

    Have black dust looking spots on my screen.

    Howdy;
    Yes there is a way. The easiest for you would be to remove the back top of the TV. That will give acess to opt lense and mirror. But first check the Lamp and inspect the lense that the Lamp into. It does not take a lot to cause your concern. Use super soft cloth and wipe surfaces.

    Good Luck,Big Irish.

    I have a 56" JVC rear projections HD ILA tv.

    Turn tv off and unplug it. Take the access door off either side of the tv. Use a dust cleaning tool like a swiffer with an extension (or make one). Clean off lens (most likely the problem). I have the same thing that happens to my JVC 61". You can use a vacuum with extension if your VERY careful.

    My screen has 3 black large artifacts at the bottom and corner

    I believe those objects are really black, and always there, Maybe they are no so big as they look, but the projection make them looks that big. some times the plastic use in the manufacturing is not cleaned and those plastics felt in the lenses, being positive. an expert can decide if it is just and object or anything else.

    Spot on JVC hd-ila screen

    There are several things that could be causing this. Dust or foreign matter on the inside of the screen, dust or foreign matter on the reflecting mirror or dust in the optical block or light engine. The first two can be fixed by you if you can gain access to the interior. The third will require a technician. If you have had your question answered, please be sure to rate the solution. Thanks!

    Gray spots on screen on a JVC HDILA model HD 56G 787

    The HD-ila sets accumulate a lot of dust in the light engine. The worst offender is the little fold mirror just under the lens. I take my set apart about every 8 months or so to clean all the dust from the light tunnel and all lenses, mirrors, diffusers etc. The picture really regains it's pop when this is done. Unless you are a skilled technician though, I would recommend against attemptimg this procedure as you need to disconnect the individual color lcds. Check with a local service center to get it properly cleaned.

    Gray spots on screen on a JVC HDILA model HD 56G 787

    The gray spots are caused by dust on your lens, very easy to clean.

    Power down the TV.

    If you open the right side access panel (right side as you are looking at the front of the TV) you can see it in the middle, it's not very big. Using a scratch/lint free cloth, gently wipe off the lens or use a vacuum to **** up the dust being careful not to actually touch the lens.

    Replace the access panel and enjoy your spot free screen.

    JVC HD-56G886 56INCH REAR PROJECTION TV

    I fixed it!!!! If you can open one of the sides (on the JVC there is a little door with a screw), then you can clean the projector lense in the middle on the bottom. It kind of looks like a big light bulb. It seems there is just dust on the glass that is projected onto the screen. We had a big gray spot and cleaned it with a damp glass cloth and Ouila! It disappeared. I scored MAJOR brownie points with my husband for this one! He wanted to replace the TV!

    Jvc 61-inch (HD-61MD60) -- on the bottom of the tv are 3 different spots. You can still see the picture behind two of them but one of them looks like a black cutout. They are getting bigger and spreading...

    I assume you are talking about a coaxial connector? If that is the case then you could use a vcr to plug the coaxial cable into then output from the vcr with composite/rca and that will plug into your converter.
    Hope that helps.
    Thank you,

    Dark Blotches

    This is probably caused by dust, either on the mirror, lens, or possibly inside the light engine. There is a 5" dia hole on the side of the back of the tv where you can take out one screw and take the door off. this is just big enough for you to put your hand through to clean the mirror and lens. Hope this helps.
