These blinks are fault indications. Count the number of blinks occurs at one time switch on, and check this link for details. The link contains the blinking codes to many brand TVs.

If the TV goes in standby, then it is in protection mode.

Ensure also that the fault is not coming from a faulty receiver box sending
bad signal, check if you get same problem on DVD with no receiver box
connected.

Try first leaving the TV power cord unplugged for some times, let say one hour or so.

The flashing light indicates a diagnostic state called protection.
When the TV goes on protection there are only two possible causes.

1The internal circuits are jammed because of electrostatic charges accumulating on capacitors, or because of a wrong voltage read by the main chip on your monitor controller board. this started the protection circuit.

2 The protection circuit detected a wrong voltage or abroken contact, identified an internal fault and kicked in , starting the flashing light.

If you are in situation one, then the TV will reset just unplugging power cord for one or two hours,sometimes even minutes.

If you are in situation 2 , then there is an internal fault.

If under warranty contact the manufacturer ringing the number on the user manual

If you want to repair at your own expenses, just locate any good qualified repairer.

On LCD Pay particular attention at inverter and power board, power board can be inspected looking for bulged or leaking capacitors, then tested with a multimeter. The inverter is more difficult to test , there is need to read voltages, should be done by a tech. Also the LCD controller board can cause same problem

On Plasma, test Sustain (Ysus/Zsus) / Buffer boards , cables to plasma, digital board and power board.

On Rear Projection : check lamp, lamp ballast, power board, and convergence.

On CRT TVs, check ballast , flyback transformer, CRT, Tuner, Convergence.

SOURCE: Shuts off

From the information you have provided failed capacitors in the power supply is likely causing the problem. The safety circuitry shuts the TV set down when it detects a problem. This model of TV has over 2,000 parts which include millions of transistors inside the integrated circuits. The capacitors will change value, leak and become defective. Resistors will change value and burn. Integrated circuits and transistors can go bad. This can cause other components to become defective, which can have a domino effect and cause other parts to fail. Replacing one defective part may make the TV operate for a short time but the part will fail again since if the parts that caused the failure to begin with are not replaced. The only way to know for sure what is causing the problem, which parts that are no longer within factory specs and for proper repair all the electronics must be diagnosed by someone with the correct electronic test equipment and the skills to use the test equipment. The repair should cost about $250 if carried into a TV repair shop. A small TV repair shop will often charge less than a large repair facility.

I have a sharp aquos LC-C3234U. It had the blinking green light problem. I followed the first couple of steps ((vol up, chl down) and it now comes on with a solid green light. I have sound, but no

Search on eBay for RUNTKA448WJQZ and buy one.

I mean for $35 delivered it isn't much of an investment.

Don't forget to rate me if it works (and forget me if it doesn't; but it will).

I have a sharp 32 inch and the green flashes and when i hold down the input and channel down it shows red then i push down the power button hold it goes orange then green it comes on then shuts back off

You don't want to keep doing that because you can make it go into a coma and not turn back on again. It may not work to perform a factory reset INIT (industry initialization) but call sharp aquos 877-322-7867 (87seeaquos) to get a case file created and be walked through an INIT including resetting the lamp errors. If the rep has you read the number of lamp errors and it is not zero then you should be scrolling down and resetting them to zero before changing screens to turn INIT on.
