Re: Sharp LC-32SB24U

Just to close this out... I can confirm that part # RLMPLA029WJN1 is correct and works. I ordered from partstore.com $22 shipped. The fix was incredibly easy. The instructions from at fixya [url]http://www.fixya.com/support/r10576414-fix_sharp_lcd_model_lc_32sb23u[/url] (although a slightly different model) were spot on. Thanks to all and especially Allen Bennett at fixya for the part # and perfect instructions. TV is now working flawlessly.

A lot of fun and my first TV repair. Now on to the Samsung 46" with bad capacitors.Re: Sharp LC-32SB24U...

LOL, not only did I see it, I was the one who posted it!

Problem is it's for a different model and I'm not certain it will fit.

Re: sharp lc32sb24u bulb / inverter problem

Electronic Surplus, I have already done that. I know what the problem is. It's a bad CCFL bulb. The problem is I can't find an OEM replacement. I am planning on using MMalloys work-around but was hoping for a picture of the fix as I don't know how to replace the capacitor with the small jumper wire or how to fit a shorting link across the C7558 (smd capacitor).

Thank MMalloy.

Any chance you could share a photo of your fix?

For others this link provides additional info although not the exact same model.

The instructions from fixit are not for the same set as ours but I've read that it may contain the same guts. I can't find a lamp part# for our model but i'm wondering if the RLMPLA029WJN1 part will work. A couple pictures can be found here:
