    (SOLVED) Sharp LC-30HV4U - Only comes on after a few tries

    Issue: Sharp LC-30HV4U takes a few tries before it comes on.

    Solution: Six 220uF 25V out of nine caps on the power board were blown. Replaced all nine with 220uF 25V caps.

    Man, this TV is a beauty. This was one of the first flat screen TVs. Here's a link with more info: http://www.cnet.com/products/sharp-lc-30hv4u/#!

    The inputs aren't on the TV. They are in a VCR sized boxed that you plug into the TV. Beautiful picture. I shudder to think how much this thing was brand new.

    Pics below show the back cover off and a closeup of the affected area.

      Good work. Looks like a decent tv.

      Are you gonna keep it for yourself? If not , i would also replace the other small caps on the second picture. ( Caps on the left next to the heatsink ).

      Just to be sure!
      I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

              Update: Was working for a few days but the issue has returned. I'm looking into the power board now. I will post a new thread once I'm ready with testing info and pics.

                  (SOLVED) Sharp LC-65N7000U - Dim display
                  by JDC
                  Sharp LC-65N7000U TV
                  Issue: Dim display
                  Solution: Replace backlights. Possible panel issue?

                  When the TV is turned on, it shows a good picture but the brightness looks to be about a quarter to half brightness despite turning the brightness to 100. Upon factory reset, backlights began fluctuating. This indicates either backlight issues (likely) or a problem with the panel itself.

                  (SOLVED) Sharp LC-46SB57UN Takes a couple to turn on and then no video.
                  by JDC
                  Solution: Replace main board. I didn't in this case and ended up scrapping the TV.

                  This particular set is known for losing its 5V standby. There are repair kits available for this issue and a couple threads addressing that issue here in the forums. This particular issue addresses the TV taking a few tries to turn on and when it did, there was no video, and nothing lit up. I'm assuming the main board wasn't sending the signal to turn the backlights on. Power switch was tested and confirmed working.

                  A replacement main board on ebay is around $200, not worth it in...

                  Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
                  by advant
                  This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

                  I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...

                  Sharp Aquos Lc-80LE757U flashing Sharp on screen when plugged in
                  by sefoster
                  I have a Sharp Aquos LC-80LE757U that randomly made a loud popping noise when when watching TV one day. We found that the fuse blew and the thermistor. We ended up replacing the entire power supply board and have also replaced the TCON board. Now as soon as I plug the TV in it lights up and has the Sharp logo flashing on and off of the screen. If I unplug the ribbon cable from the TCON board to the main board I get the 2 long 5 short error code. Any ideas on where to go from here? We've tried resetting it but nothing has worked. If we plug it in and let it cycle through the flashing of the Sharp...
