    Sharp LC-42D69U - New Main Board - No Display Troubleshooting

    Hi all,

    I'm asking for some ideas/guidance on where to go next with my troubleshooting efforts.

    A history of events so far:
    • TV was dead. No signs of life, no standby light. Nothing.
    • Replaced power board. No results. Same issue (oops)
    • Replaced main board. Local supplier only had a variant board in stock. As far as I can tell, this board is used for the TV's smaller cousin (LC-32D59U). It has the same printed part number, but different sticker numbers.
    • I had to buy a new pin header, and solder to the new board to connect the display signal cable.
    • TV now enters standby (red light on power plug)! When I press the power button, the back light comes on, but I get no display information. Just a lightly glowing screen with nothing else. Red light is replaced by no led indicators. Green light does not turn on.


    So I'm wondering:
    • Perhaps this main board is incompatible with my TV? I am playing loose with the part numbers.
    • Perhaps I botched the desoldering/resoldering job? I checked pin continuity and there doesn't appear to be any shorts (with exception of 3 pins that are clearly sharing a plane).
    • Interesting note: I disconnected the signal cable, and the TV responds identically (red light standby on plug in, power button turns on backlight, no signal, no other light indicators).
    • Perhaps I need to load new firmware? The service manual has a software update procedure, but I need to interact with menus on the TV Plus I haven't had any luck finding the firmware (yet).


    Any other ideas/direction is appreciated. Thanks for reading!

    Need to start from the start, put the original powerboard in tv, leave unplugged the cable from powerboard to mainboard, plug power cord into powerboard, check the standby pin on the connector for the standby voltage, if its not there check the new powerboard for the standby voltage if it's not there then I would say you need to fix the standby circuit first.

      Ok, I miss-read it a bit, I think the new mainboard is compatible, an update might do the trick, question is can it be done without the display working or remote interaction.

        Depending on what was wrong with the original mainboard, meaning if the eeprom U3102 is ok then maybe you can transfer that chip from old to new board, not exactly sure. Maybe see what Diah has to say, he knows his firmware.

          i think yours MB layout are sandwich boards. not easy to add sockets and no guarantee yours work 100% correct.

          as suggested by nomoresonys start trouble shooting yours original MB its much easy as you have now the cousin boards for references & Parts.

          start with upload photo on the back side of the boards and measure voltage if you have 3.3V on the SPI flash.

            nomoresonys, Diah, thank you kindly for the replies.

            I found the U3012 chip on the front of the board. Tested both boards and got the 3.3V.

            I'm tempted to simply trying swapping the U3012 chip from my original board to the new board (crossing my fingers the socket soldering is good). Any reason I should avoid this approach?

            Attached are the pics.

              I'd say try it, don't think it would hurt any and might just do the trick.

                Check some youtube videos on eeprom replacement and maybe practice de-soldering on a junk board if needed, never force it, when it's de-soldered it will move easily.

                  inspect the point remarked on yours photo.. i guess this is the original boards ... right?

                  some spark near SPI Flash. if this correct, take the Flash and dump it first. you can use the other boards IC to flash it with yours original dump.

                    Diah, the board in that photo is actually the new board. I inspected both boards, and it looks to me like the mark is on both. But it's covered by silkscreen on the original board. It's probably a via.

                    Good news gentlemen. Removing the flash chip from the original board soldering onto the new board did the trick. We're back up and running.

                    Many thanks for your support and guidance

                          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...

                          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                          by jb_Bak
                          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board

                          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V

                          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
                          Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

                          (SOLVED) - ONN 100012588 No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                          Issue: No Power, Then Rebooting After Main Board Change

                          Short answer: replace main board and power board
                          Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                          Long answer:

                          TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....

                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
                          by cheeky2
                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                          Help Needed: Samsung UE55MU8000 Dead - Possible Main Board Issue
                          by Asraf Atb
                          Hi everyone,

                          Im looking for some advice regarding my Samsung UE55MU8000 TV with main board model BN94-11606C. The TV suddenly stopped turning on and now shows no signs of life at all not even the standby light at the bottom.

                          Initially, I suspected an issue with the PSU, so I took it to a repair center. They tested it and confirmed that the PSU works perfectly, even on other TVs. Based on that, I started investigating the main board.

                          I disconnected the main board from the PSU, and the backlight turned on, which seems to confirm the main board is the issue....
