I just got a sharp aquos and it will not turn on. Unfortunaltely I got it from e-bay and it has no warranty. All I get is a red flashing power light and no picture. Anyone have any ideas or seen this before. Thanks

Yesterday morning I tried turning on my aquos. I heard the relay click, the power button then turned green followed by another click. At this point the power light started flashing red and of course no picture ever came up. Tried again in the early evening. It worked! Tried again this morning and same story... flashing power light and no picture. Tried it again in the evening and the damn thing came up just fine. Nothing in the manual about this symtom. Only thing I can think of is temperature. The mornings have been quite cool (around 65F) while the early evenings have been rather warm. If this is the reason, then I think my set is defective. If not, then maybe I have dirty power. Am using a lame surge protector and I know these systems are rather finicky when it comes to the AC feed.

I have a new 26" Aquos and in the manual it tell you what to do if the set does not power up. I quote "Press SYSTEM RESET if the TV does not operate after starting up." Also, under troubleshooting, it states that an increase in the internal temperature will cause a power problem. It says to make sure nothing is covering the vents. Not sure this helps but thought I'd mention it.

i just bought a LC-32D4U a couple of weeks ago and i'm having picture resolution problems. broadcasts look blurry/pixalated. I've already had my HDTV cable box replaced,adjusted picture settings, Sharp replaced TV's system board, checked/replaced all cables and the image in my mind is still unacceptable for a $1600 TV. My old 27" JVC tube TV looks much better. anyone know what i may be missing here?

I had a weird problem with my 32 inch Aquos (2 yr. old) turning on then off again with the flashing red. I traced it to a physical issue on the back of the set. My set was wall-mounted and if I tightened one of the wall mount screws that held the LCD to the wall mount too much the set would turn off - could hear the relay click off. I could also reproduce by pressing moderately hard (enough to depress the casing just a little) on a small area on the back of the set. Definitely worth trying - just play with area upper right mounting hole (I think that was the troublemaker). Ended up loosening the mounting screew and it runs fine now.

Big cable card issues with Sharp Aquos! I bought 2 sets,LC32D4U & LC37D4U, mounted on wall, and had Comcast come out to install cable cards.
After six (6)!! service technicians & one sharp rep couldn't figure out how to get cable card to work, I threw in the towel and had the dealer take them back for Toshiba (coming tomorrow)Apparantley, there are issues that Sharp will not admit to. Anyone have same problem?

I recently purchased a 32 inch Sharp Aquos (32D6U). Once Cablevision installed the HD box, I noticed a couple that the picture quality on many channels (including some of the HD ones) was substandard. Often, the hotter colors (red, orange, pink, etc) were too hot. Women wearing lipstick would bleed into their face. Funny part is this does not occur in all channels - our FOX and ABC are bad, yet the NBC appears to be OK. All DVDs played do NOT have this problem. It also seems like the channel problem is worse at night (House looked orange!) I've tried to adjust the picture, but to no avail. I guess the question is, is it the TV or the cablebox?

I just bought an LC26d6u aquos TV. Worked fine for 1 day, then the next morning it would power on, then go off imediately and the blue power LED blinks. Unplug it, or do a system reset, does the same thing. After 3 or 4 times of this it doesn't even try to power on and the LED just continues to flash.

I bought it on-line and so instead of retuning it I take it to a repair center. Still waiting to hear back. It's a Christmas gift for my wife, so it looks like I'll have to give her a picture of the TV instead.

Angelbird, I have the same issue with my LC37DB5U purchased 5 days ago. A horizontal "line" occasionally appears about 1/4 from the bottom of the screen. I've only noticed it on signals into the Component inputs(XBox, DVD). My friend has the same tv with the same problem.

For everyone that has a lower screen size Sharp LCD with the black box on 2/3 of the screen, STOP PRESSING BUTTONS ON YOUR REMOTE. You need to press the CC button over and over until it says OFF on your screen. Black box = Text mode ... RTFM (look it up if you dont know what RTFM means)

For all of you who have the "red lights flashin" you need to call Sharp and expect a wait time to hold for their repair department. They will take care of your problem for sure, but at the moment they are extremely busy and there is a hold time. The red lights flashing are a service indicator, something that you cant take care of in your home.

We purchased a Sharp 26" Aquos which worked fine for about a week with a cable card and utilizing component 1 for our DVR then component 1 went out. We exchanged the TV and had the same problem on the 2nd set within 5 minutes of installing the new cable card. Sharp denies any knowledge of a problem of this type. Any ideas?

We bought a 37" Aquos television on Dec. 31. I get no picture, just audio, when the tv is on a digital station, set in Mode 2 and you are turning it on. All I get with the audio is a black screen. I have called Sharp on this. After some programming it still does not work. And the remote doesn't work, either. I have also had problems just turning off the tv with either the remote or the power button on top of the set.
It's going back to Sears this friday. Way too expensive to keep messing with.

We have a new Sharp Aquos 26" LCD with a cable card from COX which works on all expected channels. It isn't magic though. Due to other problems with our TV we have had to have cable cards installed 3 different times. In each case, the first card they installed was bad. In 2 of the cases the cox person had to make multiple visits to get the card that was good, the TV and Cox all working together. The last instance required the COX person to make 2 visits with a total of 6-7 hours work and the problem was the card wasn't 'paired' correctly with the business office. I have no idea what that means but that was my husband's response.

I recently bought two LC-26D4U 26" Sharp Aquos LCD HD tv's. Shortly after the purchase I started having power issues. Sometimes, when the tv's are in power-saving startup mode and with the power off, I will come back to the TV's after awhile and the blue light will be on. Hitting the power button on the remote or on the TV does not turn the TV on - nor does it turn the TV off. To get the TV to work again, I have to unplug it and turn it back on. In quick start-up mode, one of the TV's will literally turn itself on. On two separate occasions, I would wake up in the middle of the night from the light of the TV that had turned itself on. Has anybody else out there experienced similar problems? Thanks!

I bought a sharp LC-37D4U from amazon and recieved it about 2 weeks ago. Since the first day I got the set I have had bizarre power related problems. If I leave the set off, but plugged into my surge protector it turns itself on but frozen. The set does not respond to any buttons on the remote or the unit itself and must be unplugged to shut off and work again. I have come home to the "undead" tv 5 times in 2 weeks. I called sharp and I am now waiting for a service technician (expect a 3+week wait for service). As you know I cannot return it to amazon so any problems need to be serviced only. Has anyone else had these problems?

Isn't it great, spend thousand(s)of dollars on these TV's that seem to be plagued with problems. I just purchases the Aquos LC-20B8U-s, well about a month ago. I'm having a couple of issues with it. I'm getting that black box on the screen, inside the box, their is a bunch of letters that are all scrambled, odd. Also, on and off, their is a clicking sound coming from the speakers. VERY annoying.
I may be returning this thing, especially after seeing all the problems you guys are having. Can someone recommend an LCD TV??

R. Gallo: I bought my TV from Amazon too, electronics express to be exact, and since they wouldn't accept returns on TV's larger than 22 inches, I had to have it repaired too.

As you can see from my post above, my TV died with a power failure after owning it for one day. It was repaired and returned to me on Dec 23. It worked for about 3 weeks, then died again with the same problem.

It is still in the shop, and I have been trying to find someone at Sharp to authorize a replacement TV, instead of just trying to repeatedly repair this lemon. Currently it has been in the shop longer [on 2 different times] than I have actually been able to use it.

When I was visiting my brother I was awakened in the middle of the night when his Sharp LC37D4U turned itself on.

I don't believe any of the power problems posted can be cured by the user.

Don't they test their designs in the lab before releasing them into production? There seems to be a major problem with anything hitech. Designs change so often that they do not mature.

ATTN:

All Sharp Aquos owners please view the posted thread about the current problems with the D4/5/6/7U models. Those of you with power failures, There was another issue that you guys never picked up on that affected 5,000 sets. A capacitor was miss-marked from the factory. The stamp on the component said 100uf and it was actually 10uf. Caused all kinds of power issues. They come in 5,000 unit rolls for the auto insertion machines.

If you own a Sharp Aquos *D4/6U Model and have been having any of the following problems:

1. Unit turning itself on/off at random times
2. Unit locking up and fails to respond to remote or set-top butons, unit must be unpluged and plug in again to get set to respond.

Please contact Sharp at 1-800-BE-SHARP (237-4277) and report the problem, Sharp will give you a Case # that you will need if any service is to be needed or done.

Sharp has released a firmware fix/upgrade as of 2/27/05 to try and correct these issues. I have already received this firmware upgrade as of 2/28/06, from my local Official Sharp Repair Center but have yet had time to really monitor my set for any improvement. Below is a link to the AVSfourms where you can post on any of these issues you may be having with your Unit. The thread is monitored by a Sharp Rep (Mike53 The Sharp Guy) and he will be glad to help anyone as much as he can.

I have a Sharp Aquos LC-26D4U. My problem is that my TV will turn itself on sometimes. In one case the TV could not be turned off using the remote or the TV off switch after watching a DVD. The TV can not be turned on ocassinally, and needs to be reset from the off switch from the power surge protector. Also, while I watch any DVD with the Smart Stretch, the TV will get chopped up up at the bottom of the screen about three inches up from the bottom, and it happens very often. With other modes that do not strech the image, the movie runs flawlessly. Terrestrial TV Chanels are fine and do not have that kind of problem.

I called today, and a sharp represenative said there is no known issue with the Sharp Aquos LC-26D4U model. She advised me to do a hard-reset using a paper clip on the bottom hole next to the three coax inputs. She also said that if the problem persists, then call back with the case number she provided me. I will post back with results. fingers crossed > ____ <

All,

I just bought a 20" Aquos last weekend. It was fine until last night when I noticed 2 channels {CBS, ABC] on which there was NO sound even though the picture was fine. On one channel, there was only a high-pitched continuous tone (sometimes-- not always). On CBS, there WAS sound, but ONLY for the commercials and local traffic news, not for the actual programs. These channels had both been fine that morning. Other TVs in my apartment building had no problems with these channels. We have Comcast cable TV. Does anyone have any ideas? do you think it is the television or the cable? Could I have inadvertently set something?

Also, I noticed that if I turn the TV off using the button on the TV itself, I cannot turn it back on with the remote. If I turn the TV off with the remote, this is not a problem. Is it meant to be this way?

Sharp has released another NEW firmware upgrade/fix in the form of Main version 1.12 and Monitor version 1.04 to once again try to correct the problems of the set's turning itself on/off and set's locking up and failing to responding to remote or set top buttons, set must be unpluged and pluged back in.

Sharp released a updated firmware V.1.09 & V.1.03 on Feburary 27, 2006 hoping it would correct the issues with the D4/6U models, however it was not the case.

If you are having any of the known issues listed above contact Sharp at 1-800-237-4277, ask for a case number and have Sharp schudel a firmware install ASAP.

The following threads have more info on the current problems with the Sharp D4\6U models.

I wish I had read this before buying my Sharp LC32D4U. After a week of being on basic cable and going into the menu and skipping all the channels I don't watch, The guy at Comcast spent 2 hours trying to get a signal on the cablecard he installed and then told me it was working fine and that I would need to skip all the channels all over again. I get dozens and dozens of channels that are just blue screen. So I sit down and go back to the same place in the menu to skip channels except now the section is greyed out and Comcast said it was a Sharp problem but reading all these posts on CableCard problems, I bet Sharp is going to tell me I need to call Comcast. So I will take off another half day from work. I guess I should be greatful that my TV does not turn itself on in the middle of the night.

For those that have read my recent posts, I have not had spontaneous on/off problems for over a week now. I don't know why that is. I don't leave my remote controller pointing at the TV when it is not in use, and the problem went away, for now. Yes it's strange.

some follow-up --

My previous post describing problems of no sound on certain channels even though there was a picture -- it turns out it was my mistake. Somehow, I had set those channels to "SAP" (whatever that is) instead of "stereo". Once I set it back to stereo, the sound was fine. These TVs are too complicated.

Still haven't solved my second problem where I can't use the remote to turn oN the TV if it was last turned off using the button on the TV itself.

I purchased a LC32D6U from my local dealer in December 2005. I was very happy with the picture and it worked great for about a month, then it started to intemittently act up. At first, it would periodically just lockup. The remote did nothing and the buttons on the set did nothing so I had to unplug it to turn it off. Then it started turning off and back on by itself. At first I thought it may have been the surge protector, so I replaced it. But the problems continued. Then it started turning itself on in the middle of the night. So I called the dealer and they sent out a technician. He tried to update the software and proceeded to kill the set altogether! Now I am waiting for a couple of new circuit boards to be replaced that will supposedly have the new software version already installed. Meanwhile I am looking at a dead $2500+ TV that is only 4 months old! Sharp has a serious problem that they should address with a product recall ASAP. I think anyone that has had a problem should also receive an automatic warranty extension. I am very concerned about the long term reliability of this TV. My Sony CRT is over 10 years old and I have never had a problem with it.

Hi,

does anyone out there have this problem? On my new 25" sharp, if I turn the TV off using the button on top of the TV itself, I cannot turn it on again using the remote. Everything else seems to work, and the remote will turn the TV on if it was used to turn it off. If anyone out there has a 25 inch model, could you test it and let me know? Not sure if it is supposed to be this way or not. Thanks!

Does anyone experience a clicking issue on their Sharp? I just got my LC-37D40U 2 days ago and when the clicking occurs it is every few seconds but it doesn't always occur. Is this because the TV is new?

The other issue is that I don't have digital cable yet, but with the analog cable I have the picture quality is very fuzzy. Is this normal?

I can take the TV back to the place I bought it and get a store credit toward a Samsung. Does anyone out there recommend doing this while I can? Are the problems I am having precursors to bigger issues later?

Help!

Thanks

winnoway, contact sharp immediately and report the problem. They know what it is. They may ask you to do some reset procedures, and if that fails, they will give you a case number. You will eventually need to take it in for repair.

Call 1800 BE-SHARP

I am sending my TV in for repair tommorow. I hope things go okay, because Sharp told me they have a repair for that problem now.
