I have a sharp LC-70le847u and it will no longer show any kind of video from any ports (hdmi, internal YouTube etc..). All menus and on screen displays are working fine as is sound. Any ideas?

This unit has a chronic problem with the insulator material used on the heat sink on the ic's on the AV Bd. The unit must be disassembled and the AV bd. removed. The insulation on especially IC 2502 breaks down and must be cleaned off of the bd. and the ic and new insulator part # PSPAZA663WJKZ must be ordered and used as the insulator pad. If you send me an email to [email protected] I can send you the copy of the Sharp technical bulletin LCDTV-194.

kitconnolly,

I too went through this problem.

Step 1 - Plug in your "composite" cables and the HDMI cable to the PS3. Obviously, the "composite" cable are the ones that came with the system. You need to start with them as the default connector.

Step 2 - After connecting the "composite" cable and the HDMI cable to the PS3, connect the other ends to your TV.

Step 3 - Power on your PS3

Step 4 - Select display settings-->video output settings

Step 5 - Change from the current video cables to HDMI. (Your tv has different inputs. When you switch to HDMI in the PS3, you will have to switch your TV to the HDMI input that it is connected to, to get a picture)

Step 6 - Be quick, the PS3 will display a "test" for 30 seconds. You need to switch your tv to the correct HDMI input and press "X" on your controller to accept the change.

Let me know how this works for you.

First off a little tip that manufacturers don't tell you is that you HAVE to TURN OFF the POWER to ANY UNITS that you are Connecting to via HDMI!!!!!!! If not you can short out the Inputs!!!!!!!! HDMI is usually Automatic, But sometimes you need to go into the Menus on all Devices to the HDMI section and write down their settings and compare them. Any definition that you are not sure of check the Manual or Google it! Match all the Settings (there won't be Much!) Hopefully the Inputs were not Damaged it only takes one time to short it out and then the Repairman makes a few bucks! Good Luck!

GOOD NEWS - - According to the Sharp Technician I just spoke with a "Service Bulletin" went out to all their techs about the sound issue on these Sharp Aquos. I'm having the exact same sound probem and I'm in the process of having the technician come out at no charge so call the number given in Solution #6 and #9 (1-800-237-4277) and keep pressing #1 until you get a technician. Have your serial number ready and they will need your name, address and telephone #. They will then give you a case number and transfer you to dispatch (which closes at 5pm central). Thanks everyone for your help and posts - you made our day!!!
BTW - We also have the problem of the TV turning on and off by itself but the technician said they had not received a service bulletin about that yet.
