Channel not available error message comes up on Sharp LC-42SB45U

My husband was turning off our TV last night and doesn't know which buttons he pushed. Now we keep getting the error, "channel not available" and the TV power is on, but there is no reception. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks for your suggestions. I just spent 2 minutes with the Sharp remote and fixed it. Somehow it looks like the husband changed the input from channel 6 to something else. All I did was go in - press reset - then set input to channel 6 and voila!!!! Thanks again.

SOURCE: sharp lc-19sb225u tv turns on with a "white noise"

The blue screen means the processor of the tv no longer finishes the loading of the firmware - hardware fault, either the chip that stores the firmware or the processor have failed.
Since the chips are soldered on the mainboard and cannot be removed separately that means that the entire mainboard will have to be replaced. This is it

Now you must decide if it's worth paying $400 for a replacement board or it's better just to buy a new tv - i'm for the second option.

SOURCE: I have a Sharp model

Voltages sometime increase/decrease during power outages. This mainly afftects the power supply of a lot of electronics equipment.
1. Check the fuse.
2. Check primary components like; Bridge rectifier, filter cap, switching components etc.
3. Check secondary (cold) side once you isolate the primary side to be ok.
Please consult a professional technician if you are not skilled in electronics repairing.

All the best

Sharp Aquos 32D64U LCD HDTV. I need help connecting and/or setting up an Ematic AT103B digital converter box.

Question edited for clarity and order, 'make model (what it is)'.

On the television remote you have to select the Source or Input. Each press will take you through the HDMI ports and all other signal inputs like co-ax. Your LA channel is likely via the co-ax indoor aerial.

Sharp Flat Screen lc- 42sb45u It seems that whatever it is that controls the power (off/on) in my tv is not working correctly. The tv will not turn on using the remote or power button on the tv....

sounds like it could be a power supply problem - this is a common symptom for a failing capacitor. If you are handy with a soldering iron, you could replace yourself. Look for capacitor which has a bulging top located on the power board.

My Sharp LC-42SB45U takes 15 min to an hour to turn on. Also, sometimes picture blacks out for 10-15 seconds. Any suggestions? Pat Courson

Have same problem. Not the proper fix though I found that taking the back off and heating it up with a heat gun for 30 seconds to 1 minute and tv works fine till you shut it off over night.Maybe someone can offer a solution with that in mind. Pretty strange

I can't change channels,message on TV says,'' no input available''.

Have you tried reprogramming the Dish remote with the Sharp code? That might bring back the TV control. Another option is to use the TV's control panel menu button (if available), go to the setup choices and have the TV scan for channels while the Dish receiver is on. It will find channel 3 then, and probably nothing else, so the set will stay on that channel.
