I recently purchased a Sharp LC20 LCD TV. The intention is to have an LCD television, in 4:3 format, to which I can connect my vintage computers. It's an interesting TV and the picture quality is good. Computers that use composite video, S-Video, Scart and analog RF antenna signals can be connected. Being a television, it obviously has built-in speakers. Not having a VGA input, this TV is not suitable for connecting PCs.
Here is the short video of the unboxing… exciting… with the discovery of the damage caused by transport!
With this first #shorts video, the first of three, we get to the heart of the repair of the Sharp LC20 LCD TV which arrived destroyed during transport. Luckily the electronics work, so the repair is only cosmetic.
I start to disassemble the plastics of the TV and wash them. This operation could also be done on a monitor, or on a television, not damaged. When the cleaning is complete, the monitor or TV can come back to new!
The second step in repairing the Sharp LC20 LCD TV is the decisive one: pasting, sanding and painting (white) the plastics of the TV!
I chose the color RAL 1013, a pearl white, which goes well with the color of many white vintage computers. For example, the color is very similar to that of the Commodore Vic20. It should be considered that the color may vary from computer to computer, even of the same model. The color that works for my computer may not work for yours.
Finally... I reassemble the Sharp LC20 LCD television. To enjoy the newly fixed and painted white TV, I play a game of Avenger (a game similar to Space Invaders) with the Commodore Vic-20!
Do you like the result?
