    Sharp LC-52SB55U Single Blink/No Backlight

    Hello,
    I am doing some troubleshooting on the above mentioned LCD television. The service manual says with the single fast blink that there is a lamp problem. I am just trying to determine whether it is the inverter or the ccfls themselves. In the quick flash that the lamps are on, it seems that there are pairs of lamps that are dim/weak while the others are bright. I have tried swapping some of the dim bulbs with the bright ones, and the dim light follows the connector not the bulb itself. So this leads me to the conclusion that the inverter(s) is(are) bad.

    The question that I have is: Do/can the transformers/components (per bulb) on the inverters fail in pairs? Are they typically designed to be pairs connected in series? There are about 4 pairs of ccfls that do not light on the display, on both the master and slave inverters.

    I have tested what I think is the primary/secondary windings of the transformers (cannot find a datasheet) and there is some variance between the different transformers on board, but there are no open circuits. From a visual inspection, it does not look like there are any burnt components on the inverter boards. Another power supply board has already been tried without success (before I got involved).

    From my conclusions it is looking like I need to change out the master & slave inverters to restore proper television operation, but does anybody on here have any other thoughts?

    Thanks in advance.

    They should be within around 3% of each other in variance

        Ok,
        Here is some pictures.

        I had checked the secondaries again between some of the light and dark ones and they seemed pretty close to each other. Like 1.29k-1.3kohms.

          Panasonic ZT60 plasma tv with strange behavior and 8 blink code
          by cloo
          I recently got my hands on a 60" Panasonic P60ZT60 plasma tv (european model) that has some strange issues along with an 8 blink code.
          It know this tv is getting old but it was once considered one of the best plasmas ever made, and i think it is still holds on to that even by todays standards.


          So, long story short. When i first got the tv it had a very bright washed out picture with very raised blacks in all picture modes and i couldn't find the cause in the picture setting menus.
          After doing a factory reset this problem was gone and the picture was back to...

          Un50cu7000 2 blink oddity *partially solved
          by EazyBone
          I write this to maybe help another with this TV.

          So I aquired this TV a 2023 model. It started the 2 blink reboot problem which indicates bad panel. It was still under warranty and the repair man came by.

          The Samsung repairman brought a brand new panel and switched my original boards to the new panel. The new panel then had the 2 blink error code. The repair guy said he has seen this and the MAIN board on this model will cause the 2 blink. He then replaced the main/power board (they are both connected) and put it back onto my original panel. Voila it worked.

          SHARP LC-70UC30U starts up with RESET then turn off and blink 1 LONG 1 SHORT
          by Mitike
          Hello guys,

          I have SHARP LC-70UC30U which won't turn on and the stand by LED blinks the 1 LONG 1 SHORT error
          According to other sharp SM-s it is lamp error (I can't find SM for this model)
          And yes I checked other blink error threads on the forum about other Sharp models and still can't make it work.

          If I unplug the set and hold the POWER and INPUT buttons while I'm plug it back the set fires up and shows sharp logo and after that the Android logo and turn itself off again and starts the blinking and wont turn on again except if I do the RESET procedure again....

          Sharp LC-80LE632U 2-5 blink code
          by SdlewisSr
          I have a Sharp LC-80LE632U with a 2-5 blink code. I have narrowed it down to the T-Con/Panel. I get the error if both or either ribbon cable is connected between the T-Con and the Panel. If I disconnect both ribbon cables, I get no error and the TV powers up just fine.
          Does anyone know if this is a definite bad Panel or is there a chance that the T-Con could still be at fault?

          Sharp LC-90LE745U 3 slow and 1 fast Blink
          by c00lman
          hi, new member her and apologize if this has been discussed.. tried to search and most of the result are for LC-xxLe6xx series and not sure if it's applicable to the 745U.

          the TV stopped turning on and after the V logo stayed solid for a minute or 2, it gives the 3 slow and 1 fast blinks which from what I researched are internal communication error.

          did some voltage measurement on the power supply out.
          Pin 1 and 2 = 0V --> PNL 12V
          Pin 3 and 4 = 0 V --> GND
          Pin 5 to 8 = 13V --> UR 13V
          Pin 9 to 12 = 0 V --> GND
          PIN 13...
