20 Most Recent Sharp LC-26D6U 26 in. LCD Television Questions & Answers

Almost all intermittent audio or audio failure problems with Sharp Aquos LC**D4U, LC**D5U, LC**D6U, and LC**D7U televisions are the result of a relatively simple design flaw involving the heatsink pad compound used on the Tripath TA-2024 amplifier chip (IC2502) found on the A/V board. This compound has a fairly low melting point and, over time, tends to seep out from between both top and bottom heatsinks onto the legs of this chip as well as onto circuitry immediately surrounding it. Further, over time the seeping compound also becomes somewhat conductive creating bridges which short the audio amplifier circuit causing everything from intermittent audio to complete audio failure.

Fortunately, in almost every case audio can be completely restored by cleaning the old compound from both top/bottom heatsinks and from both sides of the PC board in the area immediately surrounding the chip (I used rubbing alcohol which worked quite well). Sharp has issued a service bulletin addressing this issue (LCDTV-194) wherein a ‘2502 Heat Kit’ is specified. This kit is Sharp Part Number: PSPKIT663WJZZ and is available from circuitcity.partsearch.com for $19.95. However, it’s entirely possible to get by with the heat pad only, Sharp Part Number: PSPAZA663WJKZ for only $9.95. Please note that board replacement for this problem is almost never necessary, so if you’re working with a repair technician be sure and insist that he/she be certain to try cleaning the old board and replacing the aforementioned heatsink pads before charging you for a new board.

If one is reasonably familiar with electronics disassembly/reassembly and is willing to take their time, this can even be a DIY project. It is possible to find ‘important service references’ by simply entering LC26D4U (the 5, 6, and 7 series are very similar, and this information covers all screen sizes) into the search field at eserviceinfo.com. This will greatly aid in disassembly/reassembly of the TV, as the A/V board is somewhat ‘buried’ under other boards.

Particular thanks are owed ‘Aureius’ of the AVS forums for his research efforts concerning this issue !

Your set need a though check up. It sounds that the main digital board has damaged. Before make it sure, contact any service technician and make it confirm. A panel fault too can cause this. If you wish to get more details about this kind of fault, check this link. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If you're sound in electronics, you can follow the rest. Pull up older posts there, either by its left side bar, or, see it in 'Timeslide' option.

No sound on ALL MODES?

Let verify first to narrow down to where the problem can be. First, make sure the MUTE or SAP function is not activated, then check the on screen sound set up menu to make sure the speakers are not set to OFF. If the setting is OK, then attach the powered PC speakers to the Audio Line out RCA jacks (Red and White) to see if you can get the sound there, if you do, then the problem can be in the power amp circuits, if you do not get the sound at RCA jacks, then the problem can be in the sound processor circuit.

Unfortunately it seems to be a sharp thing. I have a sharp 46 inch and there are times when I find it difficult to hear. Some channels seem to work fine with the volume right around 20 - 25. Seems to be quite often though that my volume is set over 40 and still struggling to hear. Seems with my tv that there is no difference between it being set on 35 and 60. They sound the same. Surround sound is the way to go if you stick with sharp.

Ur tv Tuner board is dead.Replaced the Tuner board,u will get ur incomming cable or free air tv signal go through and get ur tv picture back.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish Tuner board for the replacement.

a code is always entered in by the kind of remote you have if its the one that came with your tv or not its the same google for the name of your remote say need philips remote codes choose your the right one for you it should then have a list of tvs find yours the code and instructions to reprogram it

My knowledge of how to solve this issue came primarily from finding the research efforts of ‘Aureius’ on the AVS forums, and particularly from his taking the time to post the solution publicly so that others might save time, money, and aggravation. I'm just passing along the information. Thanks Andy!

I also wanted to mention that a couple of other very pesky common problems with these series of Sharp TV's involving symptoms of random powering-off and/or powering-on, and 'function lock-ups' of various sorts are easily remedied through two firmware updates (Main CPU: PH1UU112, Monitor: MD1UA104). These are not available to end-users via the internet but it may be possible to get the files from an understanding factory-authorized repair tech. They are installed using an SD memory card (don't use the HC high capacity sort, use only those that are NOT HC) which is inserted into a special slot in the back of the machine. For those of the DIY persuasion, information about how to check whether your TV has old firmware in need of an upgrade is readily available through internet search.

It sounds like a power supply failure, given that you check the obvious( power cord, power in the outlet etc.). Part number for the power supply: RDENCA138WJQZ.

SI esta utilizando un remoto marca phillip solo daja presionado code la luz se encendera luego pincha tv y con el botton de cambiar canal le das up varias veces hasta que el tv cambie de canal y luego le das enter y listo

Call for Warrenty repair,The main backlight video back is the prob.,must chsaange.

Your LCD panel is failing, there is no fix for that, except replacing LCD assembly witch is out of the question for economical reasons.

You don't even have to worry about what the part number for this issue. Sharp is taking care of this for customers even if you are out of warranty due to a mistake on how they made the tv. All you have to do is call Sharp at 1-800-237-4277. It took my repair in NYC (MTZ electronics) shop 1 day to fix the issue. MTZ electronics even applied 2 firmware updates that all the D6U tv's need to avoid other known issues with the lcd in the future. These firmware updates are for the main cpu PH1UU112 and the monitor MD1UA104. I am so happy and am loyal to Sharp for their fantastic customer service. I also want to thank MTZ electronics for having the best customer service and being the best repair shop I have ever been to. Good luck everyone
