Phil, Anythings possible I guess, I'm not real familiar with Sharp's(don't see too many in my area), so have no idea how to enter service menu, or what parameter you may be talking about. This set belongs to a elderly lady and her complaint was it had audio, but the picture was black. Turning up the brightness in on screen menu got the faded(no contrast) picture. Brightness adjustment seems to be working OK, except when set at mid range, the screen is black, you have to turn brightness up to almost full range to get the image on the screen. I just thought maybe someone had seen this problem with this model before, and might have a tip that would point me in the right direction. I will probably end up having to order the schematic, unless someone else has something on this problem. Thanks for the reply.

Everything works on the set except there is no contrast(picture light and faded), picture control in on-screen menu has no affect, bar on screen increases and decreases, but does not change contrast. I have no schematic for this set, have checked for poor solder connections and tried cooling and heating, with no success. Checked the Sharp tips on tech-assist and found nothing pretaining to a no contrast problem. > > > > TIA > > Dan Webster > > Webster's TV > > Shullsburg, Wi. > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- > >This Email List is Public.
