Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

People don't want longer lasting TV's they want CHEAP! That's all I heard when 42" plasma's were $9,000, "I'll wait till the price comes down before I buy one" Well you get what you wish for.
TV's should be like the auto industry, You could by a really good car for $5,000, now they are 50,000
A 60" lcd tv should be the same, price should be $20,000 that way they could use better components.

That kind of pricing encourages scalpers, including scalping econo-boxes! No thank you!

What kind of meter do you have? Pictures of it?

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

I think the maximum voltage for my multimeter is 300V.

Yes pin 4 on KIA378R12PI is still 13.19V

Bad news for you and me - that's how I've been discharging both main caps every time I remove the main board. Across the leads one at a time with a screwdriver until I see sparks.

Not bad news for me, it's your tv. in most case the caps will discharge on there own after a couple minutes, Just don't touch that circuit if you are doing tests on other parts of the board. and don't lay the board across the metal of the tv . When you short the caps with a screwdriver, the large current and the large spike created can at a minimum blow the pfc drive ic.

It is best to check the voltage across the main caps and see what the voltage is when it is disconnected. You should use an appropriate resistor to discharge the caps.

Those are the big boys I have to discharge when I work on the board. Scary.

Check the voltage on plug PD pin 5,6,7,8 If it is 13.2 volts (or close to it) the pfc circuit is working and there is no need to check the voltage across the main caps. And DO NOT short those caps to discharge them you will kill the board.

Oh, can you tell me how to check that? I have a few hours to kill. Still tinkering.

So the MUR460 is a stronger part? Worth a shot if Sharp told their techs about it.

This will only effect the PFC voltage. I doubt its your problem if you are getting UR13.2 volts on PD pin 5,6,7,8 ,or a simple check of the voltage ACROSS one of the main filter capacitors (C7800A or B) in the primary will give the answer.

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

If there is a NUR460 (made by NXP) in the location, D7805, it could be shorted and needs to be replace with the MUR460 (made by Lite-on), This was in a Sharp bulletin.

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

Aha! Now we're getting somewhere. D7805 is on my board, I tested it and there are numbers coming through. Just not sure what the values should be. But I know it would be lower than 1000 according to youtube.

If D7805 IS indeed shorted it would effect the PFC voltage which can be measured across one of the main filter capacitors. (160vdc in standby) (385vdc with power ON)

NUR460 reads 499, then 498. I think that means it's ok.

Yes I now see youtube videos of dead pixels on those OLEDS.

In retrospect sonys aren't really that bad, I prefer them over samsung as far as reliability goes, specially since 2013 or so when they went to all led backlighting, later came oled which has it's own problems of course.

That's a diode you have there in your picture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQpXBHEn09A

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

I just found someone with a similar code 2 blinks 2 blinks with a failed NUR460. I'm grasping at straws now.

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

Everything looks clean. All the LEDS are clean looking with no brown or black marks on them, all the ICs on the sides and bottom are new looking with no melting or anything and the image has no lines in it when it's working. Just haven't been able to turn it on since the last failure. Stopped working mid-movie and no progress since.

Re: Sharp LC60C6400U - 2 long binks, 5 short blinks error code

It could be one thing leading to the whole failure. I've been reading on the board and found it to be a catch-all error code so I'm not sure.
