    Sharp LC40LE531E Red/Green flashing LED

    Hi,

    I have the above TV which will not turn on. I understand the flash code is pointing to a faulty inverter board:



    The main connector on the bottom connector has the following readings when the LED is blinking Red/Green (from left to right)

    1. 24v
    2. 24v
    3. 24v
    4. 24v
    5. N/C
    6. GND
    7. GND
    8. GND
    9. N/C
    10. N/C
    11. N/C
    12. 0.013v
    13. 3.3v
    14. N/C

    any ideas where to start?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have 24V on each side of the fuse F1?

      your reading of the voltage on CN1 look not correct with pins NO
      you have pins 1-5 24V and from 6-10 GND , pin 11 are error out you wrote N/C

      second read the voltage on CN3 between VCC Pin1(red probe ) and led 1 & 2, same to the next VCC pin5 and led 3 & 4

        Fuse F1 is good.

        I have rechecked what I listed for CN1 and i'm correct with the population of pins in the connector.

        With CN3, the connector to the LED strings I think I measured as you requested.
        As you look at the connector, with arrow on the right I used that as my + red reference That is pin1.

        1. VCC (+reference)
        2. LED1 10.50V
        3. LED2 10.56V
        4. NC
        5. VCC 0.0V
        6. LED3 10.58V
        7. LED4 10.55

        ..and the 2 electrolytics are fine ESR/capacitance wise

          CN3 pin 5 VCC , you need to use it as references to measure led 3 &4.
          i forget to mention this test of CN3 you need to put the probe on the test point then plug the set in wall socket to remark the high and low reading at each pins.

          i dont think the issue at inverter.. you have CN2 which i think its connected to the T-CON correct ?

            12. 0.013v
            Pin 12 is ENA (BL-ON pin), <1V = Backlights OFF, > 2 ~ 2.5V = Backlights on
            TV is off, Put black probe on the chassis, red probe on PIN 12 (ENA = BL-ON), turn on the TV while watching the meter to see if it jumps up over 2VDC or not.

              Re: Sharp LC40LE531E Red/Green flashing LED

              If I measure CN3 pin 5 VCC to pin 6 and pin 7 I read the same 10.5v
              This measurement is taken when the front LED is blinking red/green.

              If i disconnect the TV from the wall supply - then reconnect, the front LED goes solid red.
              If I measure CN3 in this state these are the readings:

              1. VCC
              2. LED1 (pin1 to pin2 = 1.75v)
              3. LED2 (pin1 to pin3 = 1.76v)
              4. NC
              5. VCC
              6. LED3 (pin5 to pin6 = 1.8v)
              7. LED4 (pin5 to pin7 = 1.68v)

              CN2 Connects to the T-Con board.

              Measuring CN1 pin12 with reference to ground:
              In standby 0.413v
              In 'on' 0.013v (using a Fluke 187 it does not appear to jump over 2v)

                    Sorry. I initially replied with a comment but then noticed after posting that I had made a mistake. Once posted there is no way to delete the posting other than to blank it.

                        then do both test you mentioned again but you need to turn on the set with RC at time the front LED goes solid red

                          Hi,

                          The TV is face down on the bench and to disconnect from the AC outlet I have been pulling out the Live+Neutral connection from the power board.

                          I have not been using the remote control, rather the push buttons on the lower edge of the TV bezel to take it out of standby.

                          Is this not achieving the same results?

                            yes of course its same.. so mean all the voltage you posted at your POST#7 after you press power on the side panel of the tv...?

                              I remeasured everything. It looks like there is a problem with the Pin 6 measurement. The connector to the LED strings was connected during these readings.

                              Pin-1 VCC

                                are there typo ??
                                the one i remark it with red color ... you mean between pin7 LED 4 and Pin 5 VCC correct?

                                    No there is no typo. The voltage on P6-P7 is low in both states.

                                      Sorry, Sorry.
                                      Crazy mistake on my part.
                                      Pin7 is not VCC for LED 3 & 4.
                                      Pin5 is VCC for pins 6 & 7

                                      I will recheck all tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

                                      Sincere thanks for your help

                                          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...

                                          SHARP LC-60LE640X display flashing white noise patches and totally dropping out randomly

                                          Hey guys,

                                          I have a SHARP LC-60LE640X TV that has suddenly developed an intermittent fault of flashing white noise patches (appears like an Analog tuner off signal) and then totally dropping out.
                                          This model I believe is also known as LC-60LE600U or LC-60LE640U in other regions.

                                          FYI, a long time ago I was a component level repair tech for all consumer electronics and IT equipment.
                                          I'm a bit rusty but still have ability to dig right down.

                                          I measured all power supply lines and checked them for AC ripple voltage. Noting any lines that exceeded about...

                                          Hey guys! It has been awhile since I've been on here. I hope everyone is doing well. I just picked up this Sharp lc-65ub30u. It plays but the screen is flashing on and off. Other than that i seems to be a great tv. Any ideas what the problem might be? I haven't pulled the back off yet. I thought I would get some opinions first. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

                                          Elitebooks (820, 840 etc. all gens) and those continuously flashing Power LED + flashing CapsLock LED
                                          by STKR123
                                          As the Elitebooks (820, 840 all gens) only show flashing Power LED and flashing CapsLock (continuously) + a very soft "ticking" noise near the DC Jack,
                                          I wonder if re-flashing the BIOS might be of any use here.

                                          As far as I understood, steady flashing either means insufficient power or a CPU/GPU/Motherboard issue. I use the original 65watt power supply.

                                          There are so many threads out there, but most of the solutions involve flashing codes, which I dont have or claim that you MUST use the original power supply, do a hard reset, reseat the RAM, clean the RAM,...

                                          Sharp (Hisense) LC-55p6050u - Flashing/dimming row of pixels
                                          by DrvLikHell
                                          Hello again! I have come back for some wisdom and hopefully for some guidance with this problem I'm having. The TV is a 4k 55" Sharp LC-55p6050u and the problem is every other line of the bottom 32 lines flickers out, comes mostly back, then flickers out again, and repeats this continually. The lines on the bottom right of the screen go out completely while the lines on the bottom left are affected so slightly that it's almost impossible to see it. There is a gradual gradient from appearing almost perfectly fine on the bottom left, to an obvious problem on the bottom right.

                                          The...
