Hi all,our beloved Sharp large screen TV died after 6 years.I say beloved as it has been an awesome performer picture-wise ,not smart but we use a Chromecast.We also use a Beyondwiz PVR as the primary tuner which has a slightly better image than the Sharp tuner incidentally.
A couple of days had a sudden failure with a total loss of power.No red standby led etc.Dead.Pulled the back off and checked the ceramic fuse for continuity and then power throughput-good.No visible capacitor damage etc.
The power board is the largest physical board which I'm guessing is pretty common.I've found a couple os one on Ebay the other on the web.One in China,one in HK.Either could be purchased and got here express ( DHL ) in about a week for ~$300.Who knows how long now though in these uncertain times.Given home possible detention we need a TV.
Appreciate any opinions as to whether I should just take the chance and buy the board ?
