    Re: sharp lc32sb24u bulb / inverter problem

    I need a bulb, anyone have one to spare? They want over $33 bucks for a bulb on the sites now.. note sure if it will even fix my TV. I did confirm one is out so I hope this is it! RLMPLA029WJN1

      This thread has been very helpful on a couple of occasions for me. I jumped the capacitor and got the tv going which was great. It worked well for about a year.

      HOWEVER, two days ago it started to burn and last night it got so bad I thought it might actually flame up. So I decided to go further on the other links in this thread and inspect the bulbs. The burned out one had actually broken on the ground end and the hot side completely burned thru the board its mounted to and was completely black. The white backing material of the light box was a little melted as well.

      What I decided to try is removing the pair that run together and see if it still burned. It did not. (amazingly the sockets are still fine and work if I swap bulbs to them fyi) I just used it for a couple hours and it is fine but has a dim band in the middle. So it seems to be possible to use these without buying new lights but you have to remove a full pair or it will burn. That is why it has a protection circuit apparently.

      I'll post again if any further damage occurs but I wanted to add this note for future hackers who decide to just run it jumped like me. If you smell smoke don't ignore it!

        I dunno if this will work but here is a pic of the burn I put on imgur. Yikes!

The largest IC with 3 pins a regulator, the 10 pin is the AC/DC converter IC, and im not sure what the small IC does. The design of this inverter doesnt lend itself to testing very well since all the transformers are in parallel.

          There are 2 groups of 2 FETS which provide the 2 AC inputs for the transformers and each group is gated by the AC/DC IC. The FET's appear to convert 13v power to the AC voltage. I have tried testing the AC voltage while the TV is on (for about 5 seconds), but do not get any readings. But the TV does light up, so obviously its an error in how im trying to measure it.

          I also included a picture of the connector, because im wondering if theres any way to fool the err pin? (I assume its what reports the error to the main board), Like would cutting the wire work, or does the err pin transmit a steady voltage to the main board to prove everything is working.


          You can override the Error Detection by jumping C7558 which is close to IC7501 to test further. This will override the Error Detection IC

            It is not just for error detection, it is also protection you will do that only for testing purpose since you will no longer has protection circuit or what will happen as in post 42, seen that happen many time from people who did what they read on internet.

              For testing yes, other than that it is not such a good idea.

                after shorting C7558, the display is on for less than 20 secs and then off again .No more sound.

                measure resistance of primary and secondary high voltage installed and found no open circuit and significant resistance difference. what will be next step ?

                  TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb
                  by repair-it
                  I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

                  Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently...

                  LUMIMAN Smart Bulb IC ID?
                  by ezenia
                  Hi,

                  I have a LUMIMAN Smart Bulb that suddenly stopped lighting one day. The bulb is still detected in the app, but won't light. I've probed around and nothing seems to look off with any of the diodes, caps or resistors. The Bluetooth/Wi-Fi module seems to be working as it's still detected in the app. I even tried deleting and re-pairing the bulb (it didn't light, but I was still able to follow the pairing instructions), it re-paired fine, but still no light.

                  In diode mode, the LEDs all light up when probed so I'm guessing this means the LEDs themselves are OK. I was expecting...

                  Sharp Aquos LC-46E77UN inverter testing
                  by JFarm
                  I picked this TV out of a trash pile. When I plug it in I can hear the relay on the power supply “click” almost immediately, and then 7 seconds later there is another “click” and the power/OPC LEDs start to flash: two pulses on the power LED, one on the OPC LED. I didn't notice any sign of life from the backlight, but more on that below.....

                  The service manual () says this is a “DET_10V error: UR10V or A9V is not applied”, but after checking several voltages I believe the power unit is tripping off due to an overload as soon as the backlight tries to come on; this kills...

                  Sharp LC-60LE633U Inverter output voltages
                  by organman
                  Greetings, I have a Sharp LC-60LE633U when powered up only the V light comes on. I have checked the LED strips and they all light up. When the LED's are plugged into the PS board I get an output voltage of 74v DC. If I unplug the LED's the output voltage on the PS is 184v DC. Does this indicate a weak PS?
                  Thanks...
