In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!

SHARP LC-42SB55RU
General recommendations for repairing TV LCD
Any repair of electronic equipment begins with an external inspection of the device and diagnostics of the malfunction. In this case, you should visually carefully examine all the elements of the SHARP LC-42SB55RU TV, both internal and external. Often, for certain external signs, the repairman can draw some conclusions about the reasons for the failure of certain elements of the circuit even before the necessary measurements are made, which will determine the further algorithm for troubleshooting and localizing the defect. Experienced repairmen are often aware of the causes of the defect and the possible consequences, for example, from ring cracks in the soldering of the leads of the elements, as well as from swollen capacitors or resistors burnt to coal dust and other external indirect signs.
Faults in the 715T3150-2 power module can be expressed in different ways, for example, the SHARP LC-42SB55RU does not turn on at all and the control lamps on its front panel do not light up and do not blink, and there are no signs of operability. When diagnosing and repairing the 715T3150-2 power supply, first of all, it is necessary to check the fuse, and if it is broken, the power switch and rectifier bridge diodes should be checked for avalanche (thermal) breakdown.
The reasons for the breakdown of the power switch of the flyback converter of the power module can be different, for example, a malfunction of semiconductor cells or electrolytic capacitors in the stabilization circuits of the primary circuit, as well as a failure in the operation of the PWM controller chip or breakage of the resistors in its bundle.
When using the Active Power Factor Correction (CMC) circuitry in the power module, the search for faulty elements is somewhat more complicated.
If the SHARP LC-42SB55RU does not have an image, there is sound and the channels switch, there is a possibility of a malfunction of the display backlight, or their power converter - inverter. Sometimes when you turn on the image appears and disappears immediately. In such cases, it is necessary to check the electrolytic capacitors of the power filter of the inverter itself, including in the secondary rectifier of the main PSU.
Repair of the inverter can often be somewhat complicated by the use of special protection circuits, which are designed to disconnect it in emergency cases for fire safety during depressurization of lamps, or short circuits or breaks in high-voltage circuits and connections. Sometimes it becomes necessary for diagnostic purposes to block the protection circuits in order to be able to make the necessary measurements at the control points of the circuit.
In such cases, special care should be taken when diagnosing, and after completion of all repair work, it is necessary to restore the circuit and the inverter protection for the further safe operation of the TV.
If the motherboard 715T3251-4 is faulty, first of all it is necessary to check all the linear power regulators of its chips and, if necessary, update the software. Sometimes you can check the health of MB only by replacement.
If the TV works normally from external devices, but does not tune into television channels, the ENG37E14KF tuner may be malfunctioning. In such cases, first of all, you should make sure that there are supply voltages at its corresponding terminals, as well as the power supply of varicaps (30-33V).
It should be remembered! Attempts to repair the SHARP LC-42SB55RU TV, in the absence of the necessary qualifications and experience, are categorically not recommended and are fraught with negative consequences, up to the complete non-repairability of the device!

Main features of the SHARP LC-42SB55RU device:
Installed matrix (LCD panel) V420H1-l07 c3.
The matrix control uses the Timing Controller (T-CON) V420H1-C07.
A converter controlled by the BA2902F PWM controller (14) is used to power the backlight lamps. As power elements of the inverter, keys of the type AO4614 (8) are used.
The necessary supply voltages for all nodes of the SHARP LC-42SB55RU TV are generated by the 715T3150-2 power module, or its analogs.
MainBoard - the main board (motherboard) is a 715T3251-4 module, using microchips SPI flash MX25L3205DMI-12G, EEPROM: M24C16WP, AUDIO: MT8292 & TDA8933BTW and others.
The ENG37E14KF tuner provides TV reception and channel tuning.
