Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
For future reference - the Sanyo GXBM works the menu and other general functions for this TV. I suspect that any remote that looks similar to the GXBM will also work.
TV looks and sounds pretty amazing. Very impressed with it. Especially the sound and general lack of input delay, which is very surprising for such an old TV.
Thanks everyone.

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Ahhh, you're probably right, Tom.
In any case, I picked up a new board on the cheap yesterday and now the TV is working as it should. I just have to figure out which remote to get for it that will actually work for the menus.
I have the old board if anyone wants it for parts or a test board.Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
This TV sat for months and months with no power (or power board). I'd be very surprised if it is operating under anything other than factory settings.
There's no need to try another cable or video source - the XBOX works fine with my LED TV, so the cable and source are working.
I can't imagine there being any setting in the TV menu that would disable all HDMI ports. And even if there were - again, the TV has been sitting for months unplugged, surely it has reverted to default settings by now.

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
The HDMI is bad. If the chip is not replaceable, then I'll have to find another board.
I'm probably not going to spend money on a remote until I get the HDMI fixed. There are loads of Sanyo remotes that look alike but have different model numbers and functions, so finding one that will work correctly is going to be a hassle.
Will the HDMI picture quality be about the same on this TV as it is for the newer TVs? I'm asking because I've been using component, and while watching Cosmos I noticed pixelation in the black/dark...Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Finally found some time to mess around with this TV again. The shield does come off easily - here are some photos.
To recap: this is the television that didn't work at all, likely as the result of a power surge. Got it working, but none of the HDMI ports work.
Component works, but it has trouble displaying darker colour saturation without pixelating. Not sure if that's normal for a large TV, or if that's an issue with this particular model, or what.
Any ideas would be helpful, thank you....Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Thanks for the info. I'll have to try to get a remote off eBay for it. Can't believe they didn't put a menu button on the TV . . .Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
That's abnormal behaviour. By design, the 360 will automatically detect what kind of connection is being used. Mine has no trouble switching automatically between an SD and an HD connection on its own.
Thanks for the information. That just resets the resolution, tho.
There's no menu button on the television....Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Thanks for the replies guys. Here's how the Xbox 360 handles video output: If HDMI is hooked up and working, it will show a picture. It might look like crap if the console is not set to 720/1080, but it will still show something. Unlike a TV where one needs to select either component or composite via menu, the output selection on the 360 is automatically detected. Just the quality of the picture is manually changed.
360 works fine on other HDTV.
. . . I have no idea how to reset the TV other than unplugging and holding...Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - No Power At All
Well, I do notice a bit of heat coming from the top vents in the back of the Toshiba, and the panel is just the tiniest bit warm to the touch after being left on for an hour or so. I guess the backlight method really makes a difference, and of course the Sanyo is several years old. Bulbs seems to be in good shape though, bright and uniform.
I know Sanyo is generally viewed as crap, but it seems like a decent TV to me, and the speakers it has are pretty amazing for an LCD TV.
Thanks for explaining.Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
. . . knowing this stupid TV, who knows? It's one difficult thing after another with this beast.
Can you tell at all from this pic? Looks to me like there are some screws holding it to the board . . ....Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
. . . I've always heard that the U.S. is notorious for power surges compared to other developed nations. Old infrastructure maybe.
Would you be able to help me identify where it is?...Last edited by NihonNoir; 04-20-2014, 02:16 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - No Power At All
Thanks, Tom. So, the actual panel is supposed to be (quite) warm on the Sanyo? I also notice the slightest bit of noise if I put my ear to the back of the TV when it's on, whereas my Toshiba is totally silent.
Shouldn't the front panel or the back plastic on the Toshiba be at least warm to the touch if there's heat in there?Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
. . . well, I read that HDMI is susceptible to power surges, which is likely what happened to this television.
What is the general procedure for repair - a chip on the main board?Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Well, I thought it might be resolution, but this TV is supposed to be 1080p. I did try both 1080i and 720 on the 360, but no go.
The cable works with my newer LED TV. And unfortunately, my 360 is the only HDMI device I have. I'm a little behind the times . . .

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - No Power At All
Well, the new board works. TV works great, on component connection at least. HDMI doesn't work.
. . . the TV runs a bit warm compared to my newer LED TV, which stays cold. Since the Sanyo is an older TV, is this normal?
Thanks!Leave a comment:

Sanyo DP42849 - HDMI Doesn't Work
Originally, this TV had no power as documented [URL="https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=34516"]here[/URL]. I've got it up and running now, but I can't seem to get the HDMI inputs to work. One of the component inputs works fine (I've only tested Component 3 and the HDMIs so far), but all of the HDMI inputs say "No Signal" when I hook my 360 up.
Any ideas? Is there usually a reason the HDMI connections stop working?
Are the newer HDMI cables (what I have) backward compatible with older TVs?
Lots of pics in other thread for reference....Last edited by NihonNoir; 04-20-2014, 10:31 AM. -

Yeah man, I jumped on that the minute I saw it. It was listed wrong, so I got super lucky. I've been hawk-eyeing new listed items for at least a month now.Leave a comment:

Re: Sanyo DP42849 - No Power At All
. . . well, it took me almost a month waiting for a new board to pop up on eBay for cheap, and I finally got one for $45. It came today.
. . . is there anything I should do or test or know before swapping the boards out? I don't want to end up ruining the new board for some reason.
Thanks.Leave a comment:
