    Sharp LC-42D43U - sound but no video

    I pulled another set today from the dump. Its a Sharp LC-42D43U. Powered it up but no video. Used a VGA input. I've got sound, but no video. Below are some other details:

    1. Backlights do come on when powered. Although, the seem to dim after about 10 seconds.

    2. Besides the blue hue from the backlights, I don't see any images.

    3. OPC and Power LED are on. They are steady and not blinking.

    4. TV responds to the input, PWR, Channel and Volume buttons as expected.

    Searched the forum and other sites for similar symptoms on this set. Found a number of threads related and tried a "factory reset using the VOL-, INPUT and PWR buttons. No change. Found the SM here:

    http://www.toms-service-manuals.com/....pdf&mfg=Sharp

    As much as I could, I sorted through the schematics and found the expected voltages on ribbon cables from the power supply to the main board. All were in specifications.

    I suspect the LCD controller / t-con card is defective. Can anyone make a suggestion? I don't see any details about the t-con in the SM. Pictures of the t-con are below.

    Thanks.

    Fuse F1 is OK?

        Not many test points there - hoping for somewhere to check VGH or VGL voltage, can you see one?

          Nothing that I see so far.

            Around that main SHARP chip there are lots of smaller capacitors, brown colour surface mount. You can see the thick tracks going into them. I'd check the voltage across each. You're likely to see 3.3V, 2.7V, 2.5V, 1.8V, 1.5V and 1.2V.

              Tom66, I checked voltages around all SMD caps and found 3.3V, etc. I then looked at the larger SMD caps (orange color) in the bottom left corner which filter the bank of transistors. I found no voltages across any. Then went looking at the two SMD chips directly above them. Only found voltages on one or two pins. Picture of the area is below.

                I think that might be a set of voltage references... (positive and negative possibly?) not sure though what voltage to expect at those points.

                  D1758's are NPN transistors. They should show a voltage across the emitter/collector, correct? The B1182's are PNP from a quick search.

                    Re: Sharp LC-42D43U - sound but no video

                    It depends on how the transistors are driven and their set up, you cannot say definitively.

                      I've searched and searched for any schematics or info on this or related boards. Almost thought about buying a replacement board, but am too stubborn to quit. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look at on this board? The two IC's (Sharp LZ9FB27 and TB728A5) are scarce in terms of info.....Help!!!

                        Those 6 transistors, are the Collector (BIG TAB) of the NPN connected to the B+ fuse that feed to T-CON board? And the Collector of the PNP connected to Ground? In each pair the Base of NPN also tied together to the PNP, the Emitter of both transistors are also tied together and seems to be the output connection. It looks like Totem pole output, when the Base is HI, the NPN will turn on, when Base is LO, the PNP will turn on.

                          Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                          by advant
                          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...

                          A2442 - No sound over internal speakers and no video playback
                          by soeren
                          I am facing a strange issue, I don't have any sound over my internal MacBook speakers and also the video won't start. If I change to my head speaker or via HDMI (speaker on my external Display) the sound works over the head speaker or Display and also the video starts (ex. youtube).

                          All happened after the battery ran out of power overall several days when I was on vacation.

                          I tried to remove the battery and then reconnected the battery, and then the MacBook Pro 14 2021 won't accept any power from my power socket. Then I removed one speaker, connected again the battery...

                          Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
                          by FrancescoV
                          Good morning everyone,
                          I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

                          The firmware reported is the following:
                          M:1.00/11107BLP
                          D:?.??/????????
                          O:1.00/11107AL

                          The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

                          On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

                          Sharp LC-52E77UN TCON activation WITHOUT motherboard. I2C reverse engineering help?
                          by moltensolderlabs
                          Hi everyone. [Sorry for the long, detailed post in advance].

                          I have a Sharp LC-52E77UN which randomly shuts down--could be within 15 minutes, could be 40 minutes, over 1 hour, it's unpredictable. From reading the service manual, I was able to get into service mode (where the K is displayed), and found the following error flag toggled: "04 Initial Communication Error 4 -- Error reason: To the communication setting reception," which, from contacting an eBay TV repair store, I was told is caused NOT by a bad TCON (which was my first guess), but rather the motherboard....
