My Sharp LC-42D62U quickly developed a color washout while watching TV. How can I fix this? Cannot afford a new TV.

This color washout happened quickly. Now colors are much, much lighter. This is not an issue with contrast/brightness settings, etc. Issue occurs when input signal is through both HDMI ports have not tried any other inputs. Otherwise TV works fine. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks, Terry. From what I found the PN I need is: DUNTKD934FM03-V1. Is this correct? Also, I can only find the -V2. Will that work also, or do I need the -V1? Thanks again, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, it's one of two things, the main board has gone bad (part # DUNTKD934FM04-V2), or the panel has gone bad (rare, but I have seen it a couple of times). Google the part number and see how cheap you can find one., a set that age you don't want to tie up $150-$200 in a main board. Thanks Techman 57

    Thanks, Techman 57, I really appreciate it!! It wouldn't be worth fixing at that price. Could it also be the Tcon board? I've read that could contribute to this also.

    Hello, a washed out issue is 95% a main board problem on these sets. TV PARTS TODAY have that board for $31.24. Thanks Techman 57

    I agree with Terry, high failure of main board causing color issues on both the 42 and 50 inch sets with D62U after panel size , you can try a tcon as it will be much cheaper but I doubt it will fix it.

Have sharp quos 52" screen went pink. Can still

Hi, My guess is your daughter messed it up. Go to menu and color and reset to default should fix it.
You may have to adjust color for your best viewing. Good luck.

My Sharp Aquos LC-42D62U 42 in. HDTV LCD which was bumped into pretty hard and the inside screen on the tv cracked. The crack is only visible when the tv is on can this be fixed or is it garbage

Unfortunatly it is garbage basically.. You can have them repaired using a TV Repair guy but often it costs as much as a brand new LCD. My daughter broke my $1,600 LCD. It would have cost $1,200 to fix.. so I just bought a new one.After that I picked up a TV screen protector called TV Armor http://www.tv-armor.com Its designed to protect the TV from damage. Now I dont have to worry anymore when she is playing near it. It works really well.

Aquos Turns off by itself

How many times per second does the POWER led blink? (dont worry about the OPC).

1x per second (constant, steady blink) = bad inverter/lamps
2x per second = bad power supply
3x per second = bad main board

There isnt really anything you can do to fix it yourself, you can order the part over EBay, not hard to install just unscrew/unplug --- plug/screw..
