Hi. I was hoping someone might have information about a problem I am having with my Sharp.

It recently flashed me some error codes, and would start up once in a while. Then it died completely. I have replaced the power supply and the main board (with the jumper settings in the correct placement for the model in question), but I still get the same error codes.

Error code Description:
The green Power and Sleep lights blink on and off twice together, and then the green OPC light blinks once. 2-2-1 2-2-1 - Repeat.

I have been told to reset the TV and clear the error codes, but I don't know how to do that. I can only get the TV to boot in one of two modes:

State A: TV is on, with the LED error codes blinking on front panel. There seems to be little, or no, power going to necessary boards. This is what happens every time I plug the TV in without depressing any buttons on the panel.

State B: TV is reset while booted by depressing the Volume Up button and Channel Down button while plugging in the TV. This is supposed to boot the TV into the service menu. At this point, the Power LED on the front panel is solid, and I can hear the main board cycling (the chip under the heat sink seems to be hissing with electricity).

Does anyone have any ideas how to get this TV to boot and reset itself, or if I haven't replaced the component causing the errors, can you help me trouble shoot?

Thanks

Yep, thanks. I have indeed downloaded that.

I have tested the power coming from the power supply, and it is doesn't send 60v to the inverter boards after I plug it in, and every time I try to turn it on, the power supply starts to send out power, but the main board shuts it down.

How do I go about testing the other components, such as the t-con board, and the tuner board? The service manual isn't exactly precise.

Here's an update:

I bought a matching main board (with the jumpers in the correct placement) and turner board from a working TV that had a broken screen (or so the e-bay seller says so). I also replaced the side panel board where the USB Thumbnail drive is imputed for firmware updates - it was cheap and I got free shipping on it.

When I hold the power button down, with the formatted USB Drive in the USB slot, and plugin the TV, expecting it to perform a firmware update, it turns on, but the flash drive's LED never lights up. There is a red LED right on the main board (see attachment), that lights up red and blinks. After 40 seconds or so, the TV seems to reboot itself, and go through the process again. It does this 3 or 4 times until it gives up and flashes a new error code at me:

Power and OPC light blink once, and then the power button blinks again another two times. The sequence takes about a second to complete.

A quote off of a few other sites state that this is a bad main board, but I don't believe that to be the case. This is the first board that I've had that A) Matches all the numbers of the original, and B) has a working LED.

I am Having the same problem it sounds like you had. Did you ever figure out how to reset the tv? I have a LC-60LE810UN. The TV went black and the sharp symbol was blinking in sequence. we replaced the power board but now we do not know how to reset the tv so that it will turn back on. I have tried holding vol + and chan- while plugging it in and nothing happened. thank you.
