Electrics not working Guy said circuit board gone - needs new one for 200 USD Can circuit boards be repaired?

Do a goggle search for the parts or look on eBay and Amazon for the part, there are used parts out there. Just be sure you have the model number and part number for what you need. Hope this helps.

Did you check power supply?

The control panel is defective, it is about a $200-$300 (USD) repair, so weigh you options new or repair.

This is a common problem with these TVs. You can download the official Sanyo repair manual for this TV (DP42746) at http://www.eserviceinfo.com/downloadsm/43343/sanyo_dp42746.html. I uploaded it here when I had the same issue with my TV last year. The solution is almost always to replace the Power Board (Y-Main) and the Upper and Lower Y Buffers. The parts and costs (from Sanyo in July 2009) are listed below (NOTE: Sanyo will not ship these parts to anyone but a repair shop): 1. V4 Y-Main (Y-Sustain) Circuit Board (Part # LJ92-01200A, Alt Part # LJ41-02759A) - USD $139.00
2. Upper Y-Buffer Circuit Board (Part # LJ92-01202A, Alt Part # LJ41-02760) - USD $64.00
3. Lower Y-Buffer Circuit Board (Part # LJ92-01203A, Alt Part # LJ41-02761A) - USD $64.00
Sanyo charges USD $10.50 for shipping, which brings the total cost for parts to USD $277.50. From my research, a shop would probably charge between USD $500 and $700 to do this repair. FYI - there is a class action lawsuit pending against Sanyo for this issue. The V4 Y-Main (Y-Sustain) Circuit Boards fail VERY frequently in this TV due to overheating. Hope this helps.

Did anyone address the issue of lubrication for the unit since the increase of friction will overheat components thus causing the unit to shut down.

This seems to be an occurring problem with this model.
It will need to get in for repair. My thoughts is either an issue with the main power supply not sending the appropriate voltage to the audio board or the audio board itself where the Amplifiers have gone bad. Probably going to be a $100 to 200 repair cost at a good TV Service Shop.

Hi, An alternative, you might want to try to find a tech who is willing to stitch (hardwire) the board assuming of course that it is just PCB crack and no major components are defective/gone. Though this is labor intensive, it might be faster or while waiting for the replacement. Good luck.
