      If you check the troubleshooting guide on page 33 of the SM, it specifically asks about the presence of the +5 volt line and what to check if not present.

      IMO, recapping the mainboard is a waste of time, until you get the PSU fixed.

      My suspects here are the zeners ZD910 or ZD911, the switcher IC903, or the cap at C969. Also check any chip resistors of <500Ω value for burns or discoloration, like R991(47Ω) or R976 (22Ω).

      What is the voltage across the mains cap C907? (strangely, no one asked this question...?)
      Should be present at the anode of ZD911 (junction T904 - pin1/C945/ZD911).

      Toast
      I'm reading main cap voltage at 170.9VDC. I have 85.8VDC across C945 and ZD911

      ZD910 has 5.1v...

        Re: Sharp lc-42sb45u no response... at all.

        ZD911 is a 160v TVS diode (surge suppressor). That looks fine.

        ZD910 is a 15v zener, but without the other parts working, tough to tell if that's a problem or not. Are resistors R976 & R991 okay?

        What do you read from Pins 1, 2, & 4 of IC903 to ground (pins 5, 6, 7, 8)?

            Looking at the datasheet for IC903 -

            It appears that the output for those 3 pins is basically correct.

            I've been all over the board and have found no burnt resistors or other components.

            Anything else I can check?

              Waiting on randtek to respond to your answers to his questions. I agree and don't see a problem either with the voltages on IC903.

                Just as another possible hint... the power LED is supposed to be red at standby and green at power-on. The LED on this TV is not lighting at all.

                  I sent randtek a PM the other day to see if he had any other advice. I think I'm just going to order a power board and see what happens.

                    Re: Sharp lc-42sb45u no response... at all.

                    Hello again, sorry I took so long getting back, been too busy at work to reply. I can't afford to lose moy job!

                    With the power connector disconnected from the main board, connect the 5v stby line to the power on pin of the power connector through a resistor, I use about 1k ohms for this. Plug unit in, and see if the other power supplies come up. If not, try connecting the power on pin to ground, using the same resistor. If neither of these conditions cause your power board to turn on, your power board is probably bad. At this stage of the game, I believe the problem is not your power board, and we will try to prove that with these tests. I will get back to you mudch quicker next time.

                      randtek - don't worry about it! The paying job always comes first . I'll scrounge up a 1k resistor and give it a shot.

                        Jumping from +5 to PSON with a 1k resistor resulted in the 24v rails coming up to spec, and then slowly dropping back to 0.00v. I'm guessing this means the power board is good?

                          The 24V rails should stay at 24V as long as the resistor from 5V to PS_ON is in place and AC power is applied. If it does not, there may be a problem with the power supply. Test the power supply under load to be sure.

                            You are correct... with the power board unhooked, the 24v lines stay at 24v as long as the resistor is in place. I wasn't getting a steady connection before. Also, once the board is powered on, the 5v line comes up to a steady 5v instead of 4.4v.

                            With the power board hooked up to the inverters, the 24v rails drop to 12v, and I don't see the inverters light. There is a separate inverter power on line, though.

                              THAT sounds like a problem. But keep it in mind while determining why PS_ON never goes high.

                                I don't believe you can tell much from the inverter pulling it down to 12 volts, since the inverter is not being turned on. We could try to trick the inverter on, but that can be pretty tricky, and does not work on all sets. It just depends on what control signals the inverter needs. Some need a control voltage, as well as inverter on command. Honestly, that would brobably be a waste of time, because we already know that the power board is never being turned on. The important thing is, you have demonstrated that the power board is functioning, and the supplies are trurning on and off with the proper control signal.

                                This information, coupled with the fact that your microprocessor is getting hot even though the unit is not turned on, tells me your issue is almost certainly on the main board.

                                  Well, I don't have the money to buy a main board right now ($700 for tires on my truck... wtf?), so I will try recapping it, just for fun. It might make no difference at all, but it'll at least give me something to try until I can order a main board.

                                    Re: Sharp lc-42sb45u no response... at all.

                                    I have just picked up almost the same TV, it's just a T at the end of the model number.
                                    Green LED is on when the TV it's turned on, I have all the voltages, except the PS_ON it's 1.75V. How is that possible with this low voltage to have the 5V, 12V and 24V?
                                    My standby voltage is the same 4.4V.
                                    I will go through the suggestions above, but I don't understand how come I have all the voltages with this low voltage at PS_ON?
                                    The seller stated that they used the TV in the morning and when they came home the TV did not turn on any more, but in this time they had a power outage. They had other electronic devices fail before and after this happened, like laptop screen went black, and so on, it could be a coincidence too.

                                      Just a followup on this thread... The problem was the mainboard in the TV. Bought a replacement from eBay, dropped it in, and hey presto, TV worked.

                                      One thing that was very surprising to me... the speakers on this Sharp 42" TV are way worse than the ones in my 32" Philips.

                                        @tibimakai: Please see the attached picture. The PS_ON signal only have to be high enough voltage to supply the Base current to turn on the transistor in the power supply PS_ON signal detector in the power supply board.
                                        As you can see, the PS_ON voltage level will not be 5V when the Power supply board is connected to the Mian board due to the resistor values.

                                          Thank you for helping me. I'm about to start again on this TV, so it comes in time your comment.
                                          I'm not expecting to get 5V, but at least 3.1-3.3V.
                                          So what are you saying that there is no power supply issue if I get 1.75V for PS_ON and I'm getting all the voltages? Power LED is Green. Anything else is dead. No back light turns on at all, no picture at all, I don't know about sound since I can change anything.
                                          Customer claimed a power outage before this happened.

                                            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...

                                            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.
