We bought a Sharp Aquos 40" (LC-40LE83OU) TV about two months ago and are having problems. The TV will not power off and receiving a flashing light - 5 times. We have physically powered off the TV, also tried the press the "-" volume and input button at the same time and then powered off to no avail - the service call advisor told us to try this. Do you know what is wrong? Was a button accidently pressed on our remote control?

SOURCE: No POWER

How many times does the POWER led flash per second? (Dont worry about the OPC).

1x (steady constant blink) = Lamps or inverters
2x = Power Supply
3x = Main Unit

If i am reading it correctly, looks like the POWER led is flashing 2x, which means it is a power supply failure. Either way, your TV needs to have a board replaced, there isn't anything you can do to fix it yourself. Try locating your local sharp authorized service center to repair your TV (1-800-237-4277)

User 'rapolley' is absolutely right. One can cycle through the functions to access different options, ie. 'TV', 'Audio', 'DVD', etc. I stumbled upon this solution when I thought my 'Menu' button wasn't working. All I had to do is cycle through the 'Functions' and choose 'Menu' once I get to 'TV'. Thanks!

These units have seen a high rate of HDMI port failure, if it is still under warranty give Sharp a call and they will fix it, if not, still give them a call and see what they will do otherwise they can sell you the part that you need to replace. Let me know if you need anything else
