    Sharp LC-32D59U, won't turn on

    I'm trying to troubleshoot my father's Sharp for him. A while back it wouldn't turn on. The red light indicating standby (I think) was lit but neither the remote or physical power button would turn it on.

    After unplugging/replugging it to attempt a power cycle the red light went out and wouldn't come back on and the TV was still unresponsive.

    I tried 2 other power cables and other outlets.

    So basically I'm at the stage now where I've opened it up but I'm not sure what I'm doing.

    Based on some other threads I've seen I guess the best thing would be for me to upload pics of the back and get some help on where to test for issues?

    I'm a little unfamiliar with the multimeter, in terms of what setting to use. Basically I need someone to hold my hand through the next part of the process.

    This is not going to be easy. TV troubleshooting can be complex and you
    really need a digital meter for accurate testing.
    Most people start with Pcs, laptops or monitors and progress to Tvs.
    Do you have no electronics experience at all, do you know what the components are called and what they might look like?
    One of our main concerns is that voltages can be 2000- 3000 vdc so there is a serious safety issue.
    Do you have soldering equipment?

    Suggest you read this - related mainly to monitors but a lot of tests are covered and many are with the power off.

    You also need to take the cover off the Main/Logic Board and post picture
    of it

    I know very little about TVs but can give you a first test - NO POWER

    You will need to take the power board off and do the test on the back.
    In your picture just above where the mains lead connects there are 4 rectangular red boxes. These are fuses.
    To test them select ohms on your meter and test across each fuse.
    Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

      Have you read the other threads on this model, that might be a start. There are 4 fuses on the ac input are they ok?

        I've fixed one of these myself. It was a main board failure. So, I'm guessing if the power supply is outputting the standby voltage and you have no standby light, then it's going to the main. These are very hard to find. Especially the one with the T-con built in to the main like you have. I lucked out and bought an entire set of boards from a salvage place untested for $24 and got a good main. Tried two others previously for around $75 and they were both bad and had to return.

          Sharp lc-55p6000u won't turn on
          by JunkmanJimbo
          Sharp lc-55p6000u won't turn on. The standby light is on but nothing happens when the power button on the tv or remote is pushed. I'm thinking this is a main board issue but they are expensive. I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to repair the main board I have. There is a repair service on Ebay but they're also expensive. Since there's a repair service for this main board I was hoping somebody could help me with the repair. The main board part number is 221999. Thanks!!...

          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
          by Tynan Dill
          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

          Assuming...

          Lenovo Y700-17ISK turn on and off

Conncted power supply and tuned on my laptop, the lcd turn on, it started to load os, then it turn off, after a second it turn on, then after like 3 seconds turn off again, and so on.

          Sharp LC-50LB370U PS or backlights?
          by Mustang67ford
          Hello all. Working on a sharp LC-50LB370U. A few days ago, I turned the tv on and immediately left the room, came back in and tv was black. Turned it off then on and all good (didnt think much of it at the time) for about a week. Did the same thing again but stayed black this time. When turning on, the word "sharp" is dimmer than normal I think then tv goes black. I do have sound and do have a display with the flashlight test. I trided unplugging and also holding in the power button for 30 sec, no change. I opened the back up and the backlights do turn on to some extent for a moment...

          LG OLED C1, SOS-Turn Off, Stand alone test
          by ThetraXXL
          Hello guys,

          I recently picked up an LG C1 in 65 inch size. Previous owner told me that the TV wonβ€˜t start, so I did believe due to PSU issue, but not this time. I could narrow it down to the T-Con or Panel.

          PSU and Mainboard work both like intended, all Voltages available, Optical on when T-Con lower Ribbon is disconnected and I even managed to get some picture with P-Only, IN-STOP cycle but only for 2 sec. before shutdown.

          For the stand alone test the panel starts with some flashing horizontal white lines and then continues to build up some color on the...
