The first thing you'll notice (if you get a picture), is the start logo will say "Hisense" instead of Sharp.

Now, there's a high probability that the Hisense and Sharp used different and incompatible screens, and if so, the firmware on the board may not produce a picture on the screen, or it will be upside down, or it will be split in two, or it will be low resolution, or it will...

And while the boards may look identical, very close inspection may show certain parts of the board populated on one and not the other. This is really common (and annoying) on Samsungs. Also, the boards may look the same but the LVDS output connector might be different between the two boards. Get a closeup look of each to make sure they have the same connectors.

What I would do is visit ShopJimmy and punch in both model numbers. On many Shopjimmy listings, they will list the display that the TV has. Sometimes there's more than one which throws another wrinkle in the works. If the two TVs used the same display and TCON, there's a good chance the board will work (other than it now being a Hisense TV including the remote codes).
