I'm in total agreement with Andy. If it's squashed vertically, but still has a partial picture, it is VERY unlikely to be the IC. Just my experience anyway. It's caps or cold solder joints 9 of 10 times.

If you do need the IC, you can probably still get it from one of several sources. Post the original number that's on the IC, and someone on this site can probably look it up and give equivalents from other mfrs.

And I also agree that Sharp is often called JUNK, which it is in general! But this tiny pink 3" set is neat and collectable. There's one on eBay now, and the last one went for over $250. It looks like a female version of a Sony KV-4000
