Chosen Solution
We had 24 tv’s ordered from sharp less than a year ago. The screens started normal and grew a blue tint in screen color more and more until now you can barely make out images on the screen. Its just blue with random images barely showing up. All 24 tv’s had the same thing happen.
Hi @bushydaffodil54 , Are they all connected to the same signal source? Have you tried connecting a different signal source e.g. a dvd player or even disconnecting the signal source and just trying to view the TV menu screens to see if it able to be viewed OK? If they are still the same regardless of the signal input source or type of input connection then as you say they are less than 12 months old, they should still be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Contact Sharp customer service in your location regarding making a claim for a manufacturer’s warranty repair or replacement.
Hey I just wanted to jump in for the actual solution. The LED backlight array in TVs typically are capped with a tiny square plastic diffuser that changes the color of light the LED emits. In this case we want a bright pure white to properly light up the rear of the LCD. Over time these powerful LEDs get hot and that small plastic cap breaks apart and falls off, this results in showing the original color of the LED which is on the blue spectrum. This causes the screen to show a blueish picture. These LEDs can be soldered on by hand which takes some time but it is possible to fix. @jayeff is wildly incorrect with this poorly constructed answer and only here for karma. What a shame ifixit has fallen off. This “selected answer” is complete garbage and of no use to the repair community.
