    SHARP AQUOS LC-70LE836S only blinking - freebie

    Got this SHARP AQUOS LC-70LE836S for free - did some basic troubleshooting, and found manual - without detail schematics though. Comes from a meeting room with extremely few working hours.

    Symptoms :

    When connected to mains, the logo blinks continously, approx 6 times per 10 seconds.

    A press on MENU as per the manual changes this to one short blink, one long and then repeats.

    Only 5V ( Standby ) on PSU module present, no AC_DETECT, no 12V, no 13V, no PS_ON from mainboard.

    As I see it mainboard has some kind of life, but does not ask for the PS_ON, so probably a bad mainboard......

    Any suggestions for what I can try, or anyone who can point to a detail schematic ?

    take your time, do this, unhook cable from powerboard to mainboard, leave it unhooked, plug power cord into powerboard, recheck the pin for ac-detect, if still missing it's a powerboard issue.

      Heat up main processor and see if it will power on.
      I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

        Thanks - checked, no AC_DETECT - will check Power supply circuit, this should be well within my capabiities, even without schematics

          maybe try the powerboard as stand alone, by unhooking the cable from powerboard and mainboard, then jumping probably ps-on and bl-on with standby pin, some use resistors for jumping so they don't short something by accident. Then see if you have the backlights on and the expected voltages on the pins. May have to add jumper from pwm to standby as well, the bl-on may be called ofl, standby may be called bu5.

            Sorry, didn't pay enough attention to post. Will need to run down detect problem.

              Took a little reverse engineering - but now I know that the AC_DETECT is only functional when the PS_ON is active. Feeding the PS_ON with BU5 (Standby 5V ) via a 1K resistor turns on the 13V PSU, and then the AC_DETECT goes to 3V3.

              I guess it smells like a motherboard issue, but it can be purchased at a low price. So, unless anyone has some very good suggestions, I will invest in a mainboard. Makes little sense to try to do anything with the mainboard without a proper schematic - and the chance that it is the big BGA is probably high....

                Nice work, that's the other thing I suspected, it is looking like mainboard problem.

                  Set is working !

                  Found this https://electro-medical.blogspot.com...c-70le838.html and it seems if a fault is detected from backlight 5 times, the set goes into this mode. I got the message that this set is highly sensitive for this, and backlight sensing should be turned off.

                  After clearing the error, set is fully functional, I will let it run for a long period to check if any issues, but so far the picture is perfect, backlight has no issues.

                    ok, remembering now, definitly on those sharps they lock up after I think it's 5 errors, then you have to reset.

                      Seems so, yes - and after clearing the error everything seems to work just fine. Picture is perfect, all OK - has been running for 20 hours now.

                      No parts replaced, nothing - only resetting the error in Service Menu.

                      Thank you for your valuable input.

                      PS: It only has 357 hours on the counter, so it is like new....

                          It will probably go as a donation, or at a VERY low price, for someone in need - I will get a divorce if I try to drag 70" into the house, and I also have no genuine interest in TV as such, so...

                          The fun part is done now ( to get it working )

                            Cool beans, I'm like that too, it's mainly the puzzle of what's wrong and how to fix it that keeps me interested and pulling my hair out both.

                              I would be concerned that it's the power on sequence setting the flag not run-time (obviously no flag set when it powers on normally)

                              Try turning it on and off several times a day then go back in and check to see if there were any more flags set.

                                Good point. Will try to do random power cycling.

                                  I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
                                  Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
                                  when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...

                                  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...

                                  by jonah1024
                                  Hello!

                                  I'm a few days old into this TV screens repair universe so please bear with me.

                                  Recently, and all of a sudden my 40ā€ 4K Sharp Aquos LCD TV turned on with colors all smudged in some places on the screen that remain like that even without any kind of video source. I do have image but the colors are smudged/tinted/ washed out in patches as per defects. This to me looks similar to burn in but I’m shore this is not an OLED.

                                  - I did the classic unplug and hold power button to discharge the caps but it didn't help.
                                  - I did a factory reset as well...

                                  by KevinWysocki
                                  Hi there,

                                  My mother in law gave me an Aya TV, to take a look if I could do something to repair it.

                                  At startup, LED constantly blinks and no image is shown (even if I light the screen, broken backlight is not the problem), also +12V power rail is fine.

                                  After some research, it seems that NOR flash often fails on this mainboard, I have found the procedure to force flash upgrading with a USB key connected to mainboard USB port, pressing "OK" button on the remote and plugging the TV power cord.

                                  Flash upgrade didn't seem to work,...

                                  by bajdik
                                  Hello, on Sharp LC-40LE830E is everything OK. Working great. If I put the 230 V off and on again, it just blinking white standby LED. I can power on only via VOL- and CH+ and POWER button on TV. After that, I can power off and power on again without problem (by buttons or remote control) until the 230 V is connected. If i put the plug off and on again, just white standby LED blinking. TV needs three button starting again.. On the first look, the backlight looks great, no darker or lighter spots. Any idea what is wrong?
