Hi welcome to fixya
i want to clarify first the problem sir so as of now the problem with your tv won't power on then you are using again the old main board is that right ? when you use the new replacement main board the tv is functioning will the only problem is that the HDMI / DVI inputs doesn't work. and now you encountered power supply problem like won't start up or something that cut the supply in which the stand by indicator is turn off so as my idea it has a problem with the old board. but before you come up with the board making sure all the connectors coming from the power supply is properly connected to the main board as will as flexible and lvds cable for the T-con board is properly inserted.just let me know if is that what you are asking for so i can give you additional solution thanks for consulting the fixya.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I apologize for not having included my model number:
Sharp LC-37GB5U (we LOVE this unit!)
Correct: new problem is that it will not power-on. Following reinstallation of the original Main Board and seeing red OPC, I swapped the Main Boards again. This new power-on problem is now experienced with either Main Board installed.
I will re-check all of my connections within the next couple of days and report back to you. I probably need a replacement AV Board, but won't know for sure until I re-establish power to the unit..
Thanks again!
Mike
Digital inputs on AV unit had failed; replaced with used unit ($75 on eBay).
As far as the blinking red OPC light after my initial repair attempt, I discovered that I had accidentally peeled back some of the silver contacts on the FD, LV, and FC connecting cords (ribbon cables) when I plugged them back into their respective sockets. I was able to obtain replacement FD and LC cables from www.partstore.com; unfortunately cable FC was sold-out, but I was able to repair the original, and everything is working normally once again.
WORD OF CAUTION TO FELLOW AQUS OWNERS: If any of your newer home theater or BD/ DVD components has a feature to automatically turn itself on or off by sensing a digital signal from your TV, make sure these features are OFF!!! The two silver face Sharp Aquos models we have (both 1080i max.) do NOT have HDMI-control capability. I believe I damaged our Aquos' digital input by turning this feature of our new receiver ON.
I no longer run any HDMI signals through the receiver to the TV: DVR goes directly to TV's HDMI input, BD player goes directly to TV's DVI input. Only running audio signals through the receiver now (optical from DVR; coaxial from BD player). Works great!
