    Sharp LC-46SB54U lightning strike, increasing audio static, then shut down.

    First a little history, maybe this will help. A friend has given me three TVs, a 22 inch Emerson 32 inch Sony and this one. All three were taken out by a nearby lightning strike, the only one that was on and being watched was the one in this post. The other two only had blown fuses internally, there was no other damage in his house. So, having said all of this would tend to make one think the cable had something to do with the surge.

    When powering the TV on there's a window comes up in the corner showing different inputs available plus in the middle of the screen is a message saying "failed to receive broadcast E 202". The TV will only remain on for 10 or 15 seconds then it shuts down. After the TV is powered on in about five seconds the speakers start with an ever increasing volume of static for an additional five or 10 seconds and then shuts itself down.

    It's nearly impossible to check voltages in the short time it stays on. Here is what I have done so far. I am a real Novice, these don't seem right to me.

    D7903 = .675 in circuit, forward bias
    .924 reversed, red probe on end with ring
    D7922 = .672
    1.370 tested same as above

    The following resistors are color-coded to be 7.5 k ohms.
    Violet, green, orange, gold. I hope I did that right.

    R7563 = 2.07 k in circuit. 15.09 k Out of circuit with one leg lifted.
    R7562 = Same as above.
    R7565 = 4.80 k in circuit. 15.09 k. Out of circuit with one leg lifted.

    D7918 = .312 forward
    1.030 reversed, not OL
    D7121 = .216 forward
    1.270 reversed, not OL

    Hopefully someone will have a clue as to some of these readings to be right wrong or okay. When I had the power supply board removed, from the backside I did notice some very very slight darkening around those three resistors, that's kind of why I looked at those closely.

    I searched all round this forum at length for anyone having issues with increasing static coming from the speakers and then shut down. Seems to be a real odd duck. Thank you so much in advance for any help you may provide.

    Well it looks like I'm only able to upload one photo of five that I have. As soon as I figure out how to upload the other four I'll do so, thank you.

    I "choose file" for my pictures 5 times and click upload, I only get 1 picture uploaded not the 5 I chose. Any suggestions?

      Were you able to fix the tV?

        Yes, I had to replace the main board and that took care of it

          HP EliteBook 840 G6 – no power after lightning strike
          by Bardou Kari
          Hi,
          I’m trying to fix an HP EliteBook 840 G6 that stopped working after a lightning storm.

          – Charger is OK and 19V is present at the motherboard.
          – No charging LED, no fan, no reaction.
          – I don’t see any 3.3V or 5V near the coils.
          – Battery is unplugged.
          – I’m new to board repair but can use a multimeter.

          I added a clear photo of the board.
          Any idea where to start or what to check next?
          Thanks a lot for your help!...

          Panasonic TH-50PX80 killed by lightning strike, help me save her!
          by SluggerB
          Yes it's a 17 year old Panasonic plasma!

          I was watching TV when there was a huge lighting strike nearby my house that shook the house. When that happened, the picture on the TV froze and the TV wouldn't turn off except by pulling the power cable. Now if you plug in the TV, it seems to turn on (it makes the turn on "clikcs" it always does, the red power light comes on but there is no picture, although I can see the back light around the edges. And the TV doesn't respond to the power button on the remote to turn off, and doesn't respond to the manual power button on the front...

          Samsung UN60EH6000 wont come on after lightning strike.
          by karthur
          We had a lightning strike a few days ago really close to my house. My Samsung UN60EH6000 was on when it hit. Afterwards, the TV would not come back on.

          I had repaired this TV a few years back by replacing the T-Con board. (The post I had on this is repair is here.)

          When I turn on the TV, I don't get any start-up melody. The screen just dimly flickers around the edges.

          Here is what I have checked.
          On the power supply board, 14pin connector:
          1 :12.7 Vdc
          3 :12.7
          5 :12.7
          7 :12.7
          9 :0
          11 :5.
          13 :5....

          Lightning Strike: 55" TV dead: is display panel OK?
          by MrCreosote
          THE LIGHTNING:
          This was a very close strike, blew a 15 amp breaker for all ceiling lights in home AND could smell ozone for a few minutes after strike.

          Very close and probably a very strong EMP.

          THE TV:
          No standby LED. Some voltage from PSB (not totally dead).

          But found a kit of ALL 4 circuit boards for $55.

          At first thought, this will fix my TV.

          But then lightning has the ability to totally fry semiconductors. Which would include any or all of the PCBs. However, the display is one big semiconductor and given...

          advices for repairing Sony Bravia 32EX600 after lightning strike
          by pbig
          hi everyone,
          my parents in law have seen their Bravia Sony LED 32EX600 TV set stop after a lightning strike. After being plugged to mains, it shows nothing no power LED on bottom left shines.
          On the power PCB (GE3b, attached pic), I chacked the fuses and the only roasted one is R6536 : 0.47 ohms, 1/2W. After replacing it, I made some voltage measurement with ref to the chassis :
          - the 450V/150uF capacitor voltage when plugged is normal at 394V
          - from connector CN6150 (15 poles)
          STBY normal 3.3V -> I shunted it to 3 (POWER ON) and 11 (BL ON) and unplugged...
