This one came from a small lot of Sharp sets I got awhile back. I've noticed virtually all the Sharp sets were OK, but they are very finicky about damaged screens and powering on.
Wanted to ask about this one, because it's different than the larger sets. It has a small power LED, and that seems to be the indicator (as opposed to the V light on the larger sets).
When I power on, the led turns green, and stays solid. I also have light from the mainboard optical out. The IR appears to respond, as I can turn the set on/off from remote. However, it seems "blocked" somehow as no picture or sound of any sort.
Got the SM, and it looks like the panel could again be the culprit, but I'd like to take the boards as tested as I can make them.
The screen on this set isn't badly damage, and all the rest seems in good shape. Could a blown TCON fuse be causing this? Is it worth it to hookup something to the optical out to see if sound comes through?
