Just picked up this sharp tv not too long ago and it started not wanting to start the other day, giving me the notorious 2 long-5 short blink pattern indicating a power issue. I was able to force start it a handful of times (once the tv has fired up it has no issue running for 5+ hours). But now as of yesterday, no matter what I try to do button combination wise, I just receive the same blinking code.
So I busted into it and have done the following:
-Removed the power board and inspected for any bad caps, burn spots etc. Do not see any instances of such
-Disconnected each plug/ribbon on the Tcon one by one, no change.
Few tv specialists pointed me towards the main board being the issue. Any thoughts?
(Also Have not multi metered anything, assuming that is the next logical step)
Any help is appreciated, I'm somewhat mechanically inclined but also in no man's land here 😆
