That is what I expect, the OPTO should be on when AC is normal so the LED inside the Opto is turned on, as you can see the Vf of the LED is 1.01VDC (per spec of the OPTO, the typical Vf is 1.2V), so when the LED inside the OPTO is on the Photo-transistor is also truned on that is why the Vce (pin 3-Emitter and pin 4-Collector) is low, the transistor is in saturated condition (per spec the typical Vsat is 0.1V, MAX IS 0.2).
So when you add that 68K Ohms resistor the LED will have more forward current (If) so the Photo-transistor is turned on more (it has to do with Current Transfer Function (between 50%~600%) of the Opto).
The reason I ask about the VCC Voltage at those two points is to find out if it is too low, and the OPTO may be operating at marginal point already so it does not take much for it not to be fully on.
The output of the OPTO is used to drive the switched transistor Q7061, IC7061 that control PD-PIN 9 (AC-DET) to make it HI or LO depends on the AC Voltage level.
So you can leave it like that with that added resistor.
Thank you very much. Now I will put tv together and test it. Sorry for my mistakes. You managed to help me even my lack of electrician knowledge and not perfect English. This experience made me to learn a lot of interesting stuff. I hope this thread can help someone in future. I can see, there is donate button on the bottom. If I donate, will you get something?
Co-worker said, he also has some broken tv in basement. Maybe I will make another thread to help him. But first I will give you some rest :-) it had to be exhausting to work with me. Thank you again and provide me some information, where can I donate.
You should also turn down the Backlights level down as low as possible but still have good pictures in the user setup menu, this will help extending the LEDs' life, they will run cooler.
But that user fixed it by replacing all optos, didn't he? I am going to keep this tv in my bedroom. I am not.going to profit on this tv with questionable life span.

Good advice. Turn the back light down and also contrast up, but avoiding white crush. This setting combination gives the TV the longest life and better black level.
Actually it was the lower back light setting that showed up the flickering problem on the Sharp TV that I fixed.

The flickering problem was caused by the opto further up on the board, the one on its own. Dont worry about it. It may never fault.
I suspect that most members are happy enough to help, so long as it doesn't become too frustrating.
If you want to donate, it should be to this forum which enables members to help each other.
Normal condition AC-DET = H (HIGH) = >2.5V, typical for this board is around 3~3.5VDC range, L (LO) = <1V for fault condition.
AC-DET signal tells the main board if the incoming AC is within the operating range of the power supply or not.
