    Sharp LCD

    After telling my buddy about this site, and trying to fix my LCD. He wants me to take a shot at his Sharp LC-26D43U That doesn't run properly untill it warms up. Picture blinks in and out. I'm guessing I need to go through and re-solder it.

    That would definitely be a first step. And of course, checking for bad caps.
    36 Monitors, 3 TVs, 4 Laptops, 1 motherboard, 1 Printer, 1 iMac, 2 hard drive docks and one IP Phone repaired so far....

      Sounds like bad caps.

      Post pictures as well.

          Re: Sharp LCD

          OK here we go again.

          This Sharp display isn't working. Untill it warms up for about 20 minutes and seems to work fine. If you tap the case you can see the menu's a bit but then it goes again. Once warmed up you can tap the case with no effect.

          Any ideas?

            Re: Sharp LCD

            OK while reading some other posts I see references to "T-con board ". What is it?

              We need pictures of the inside!!! PICTURES!!!

              Taking 20 minutes to warm before it works sounds like another capacitor issue. As the temperature rises the ESR (ohms) of the capacitor drops.

                OK pictures. I had to wait untill today for some day light to get a good picture without the flash.

                  Can you list the electrolytic capacitors listed on the inverter and power board? Can you list it like this?

                  Board designation, uF, V, series

                  For example

                  C770 - 330uF 220V, KXJ

                  It looks like all the caps are made by United Chemi-con. They generally make good caps, but the KZG is not recommend as per

                  https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2280

                  Additionally, caps do not have to bloat like in your TV in order to be bad. The 8 caps on the left hand side of the power board could be dry from sitting next to the diodes which put out a lot of heat.

                    Re: Sharp LCD

                    Some clarification questions.

                    1) On the main board (green) what is behind that heat shield?

                    2) When the TV is warming up for 20 minutes, does it display the picture in post post #5?

                    3) After 20 minutes and completely warm, does the picture look normal then?

                      A T-con board is a timing control board. I believe this board is usually "in between" the main board (green) and the panel board. It would help to get an overall picture of the entire back of the TV so we can see all the boards in relation.

                      That way, we can see where the t-con board is.

                      This is a picture of my friend's LG LCD

                      https://www.badcaps.net/forum/attach...7&d=1290038928

                      The main green board connects to the t-con via top cable. You can barely see the t-con hidden underneath the metal shield.

                      edit: In his case the problem was the t-con board. However, his symptoms were fuzzy lines and they were present from power on and never cleared up.

                        Re: Sharp LCD

                        OK behind the heat shield are a pair of what looks like "processors".

                        During the start up warm up the display could be just about anything. I didn't have a source hooked up. I pushed the menu button and it showed that pic in #5.
                        Yes I plugged in the camera and the picture is fine once it warms up. I shut it off for about 5 minutes and then tried it. The picture was already starting to degrade. Came back quickly though.

                        I will make the list of caps if I can read them. But I can't do it untill tomorrow. I'm off to work right now.

                        Thanks for the help so far.

                            I haven't got that far to look behind yet. Does seem strange that if I tap on it there is a change in the display.

                                Possible correction? Upon closer examination, they look like fets/power transistors instead of diodes. Hard to tell as pics are slightly out of focus.

                                  OK a list of caps.

                                  2 x 330uf @ 220v the two large ones on there sides
                                  4 x 1000uf @ 25v 4 bottom ones beside heat sink
                                  3 x 680 uf @ 35v 3top ones beside heat sink
                                  1 x 33uf @ 350v
                                  1 x 330 uf @ 35v
                                  1 x 22uf @ 50v
                                  1 x 100uf @ 35v

                                  6 x 220uf @ 35v these are on the other board

                                  They are all KY except for the two big ones on there side which are KXJ.

                                    remove the heat sink on the main board, check if there is any gammy thing found on the board. If yes, remove and clean it.
                                    Also check if the heat transfer pad is all dried up.

                                      Check for "gammy"? Do you mean "Gummy" ? Dried up grease? on the heat sink?

                                        Yes I plugged in the camera and the picture is fine once it warms up. I shut it off for about 5 minutes and then tried it. The picture was already starting to degrade. Came back quickly though.
                                        Your description above sure sounds like dried out caps with high ESR. Once they warm up, the cap's ESR drops.

                                        On the other hand, it could also be a component or components that have potentially poor soldering and changes behaviour once the TV warms up.

                                        Right now, I would guess it is 60/40 in favour of caps.

                                        The "cheapest" solution would be to inspect all the solder joints with a magnifying glass on the power and inverter board and touch up/reflow anything that looks suspect.

                                        If that doesn't work, then I would ask friends to see if they have an ESR meter that you can borrow to test the existing UCC KY caps.

                                        If that doesn't work, ask your friend if he is willing to spend probably $25 CDN to buy all new caps for the power and inverter to fix this TV. No guarantees the new caps will fix this problem though. This one wasn't as "easy" as your TV fix.

                                        It looks like this TV was made in 2007. IF the caps are at fault, it is disappointing to see UCC make bad caps. OR this TV could run very hot and have poor heat dissipation and that will kill any quality cap?

                                        Let us know which way you want to proceed.

                                          This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                                          I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                                          I have a Sharp Aquos LC-80LE757U that randomly made a loud popping noise when when watching TV one day. We found that the fuse blew and the thermistor. We ended up replacing the entire power supply board and have also replaced the TCON board. Now as soon as I plug the TV in it lights up and has the Sharp logo flashing on and off of the screen. If I unplug the ribbon cable from the TCON board to the main board I get the 2 long 5 short error code. Any ideas on where to go from here? We've tried resetting it but nothing has worked. If we plug it in and let it cycle through the flashing of the Sharp...

                                          Hello, I'm new to this forum. I like to tinker with Sony electronics, I have been lucky trouble shooting sony stuff, But I can't find much info on this Sharp TV.

                                          The problem; plug to power>white led power indicator light is on>it turns on to the red Sharp logo>

                                          Hi folks!
                                          I have a LC-80LE661U that had some interesting issues.
                                          Initially, it would come on and show the sharp logo and would show normal static before shutting off.

                                          I started troubleshooting by disconnecting the led lighting strips and turning it on. It would do the same thing - come on, show the sharp logo and shut off. After reading, it was suggested to replace the main board. That was replaced and the same symptoms resulted. After this and some reading, the parts cannon got loaded up. I replaced the power board, same issue. Replaced the Tcon board and now it...

                                          Hello Sharp TV experts
                                          Our Sharp LC-80LE642U displays one short one long flash error code which is a backlight error. I went into service mode and there were 8 lamp error counts recorded. I reset the count to 0 and did a reset. The last monitor error cause was 16 B00014639:12. 16 is the code for backlight error. I tried to power the tv up but went back into error mode.
