Great explanation and easy to follow instructions! Re-installing the firmware via USB saved my TV! Thanks! Also, thanks to those who mentioned changing the .img file name, definitely didn't work until the file name was changed
This worked for me. For those who are currently trying, I followed the steps mentioned in the video...I plugged the USB and nothing happened for like 10 to 15 mins or so...and then suddenly it went to Set-up mode. My TV is now working, without spending a single dime. Cheers Julio!
I just wanted to say it’s 2023 and this video helped us. Thought we were doomed and we keep the USB near the TV and whenever it acts up we just pop it in. Thanks brother
Lost power briefly and my Sharp started doing the same thing. Stumbled onto your video. Outstanding directions on fixing this. Had to search the internet for the firmware because I guess since it’s an older tv, Sharp no longer supports it (no firmware) on the website. Installed the firmware and my tv is up and running again. Thanks!
I just found a 65” Sharp TV that has this issue and they are giving it away for free. If I get it I will keep you updated on what I find. Thanks for sharing! You’re the TV-G
Thanks So Much!, I had the exact TV you fixed in the video. Ended up changing the filename to install.img before it worked. In my TV the screen stayed completely black but I could see the light on the usb drive working. The power light on the TV was flashing while it loaded the firmware update. The power light then turned solid and the new TV menu appeared. Wonderful! I thought I was going to be shopping for new TV over the weekend but you saved me !
Thank you !!! Your tutorial is understandable and allows you to follow easily. Step by step directions and needed materials. I believe the firmware issue relates to my situation. Can’t wait to begin the process. Thank you 😊 again.
Thank you Quick Tech I have a 55 inch that had the Sharp logo frozen on the screen. Luckily I found instructions on Quick Tech which fixed my problem.Thanks, Patrick
@@mixofcolours8137 go to sharp website. Use flashdrive , make sure it's formatted . Type in your TV in search at sharp, download link , unzip it using WinZip then plug it in to ur tv and u should be fine.
@@tonysanchez739 located ur firmware first and foremost , call sharp if you have to, then follow video once u have firmware for your model. Let me know once you done this
Thanks for the repair tips. I was able to get my Sharp LC-65LE645U working again. One important thing to be aware (I learned this from another Sharp LC-65LE645U owner online) is to change the file name to "install.img" (no quotation marks). For my situation, if I used the unzipped file as is, it will not upload into the TV.
@@juliopadilla1222 Forgot to mention since the firmware for the LC65LE645U is no longer available, the firmware from another Sharp TV, the LC-65LE654U with the same specs was used.
Thanks Julio I tried everything and nothing worked until I followed your instructions, Sharp was not easy to find on the web, but after listening to your instructions several times I was able to get there and download the file and just like that put it in the usb after a few minutes the TV was reset to (brand new). Be ups to you for that 💪🏾💪🏾👍🏿💯
@@shelbyseay2815 It's been a couple months, but we found the download on Sharp's website - www.sharpusa.com/Support.aspx then entered the model number and proceeded to download onto a USB drive.
I just so happened to buy this exact model today as a secondary for a bedroom. It doesn't do this stuck logo (yet) and hopefully it never will but I'm going to get the flash ready for when it does. I do however am having trouble setting it up...like all i can do at this point is connect to wifi and watch CZcams. Thanks for the video
Thank you! Great tutorial and fixed my issue right away; longest part was waiting for Sharp to email me the firmware since it’s not on their website anymore. I also changed the file name to install.img like others mentioned and formatted the USB to FAT32.. it installed successfully on the first try; thanks again!!
I had high hopes, but it didn't work for me. I put the USB in and it didn't do anything. Thanks for your help and I'm glad it worked for everyone else.
Thank you! A few things I thought were worth calling out: 1. Use a Windows machine to set up the USB - my Mac wouldn't recognize it as an .img file the same as the Windows machine did. 2. After you download the .zip file from www.sharpusa.com/Support.aspx, extract it to the newly formatted USB and make sure it is the ONLY file on it 3. When I finished extracting to the USB, the file type will show as 'install.img_secure_v3.6' or something similar. I had to rename the file to read exactly like 'install.img' before it would be seen as an image file, which is what the TV needs it to be. Hopefully this helps someone else.
@@jshannon2k8 Yes. But I had to look it up on a forum and download through the Dutch language version of Sharps website. The Polish, German and English (the languages I know) versions didn't have a download link for my model.
Great video. Did the same as John. I have a LC-55LE653U. I had support email me the file and it took just a few mins. my power light just blinked while it was loading then went to the setup screen.
Thank you so much! Updating the firmare for my old LC-55LE653U that was stuck in the Sharp Logo screen fixed the problem I used an 8 GB usb. Format FAT32. Unzipped the file and renamed it to install.img as some forums mention Indeed, I plugged the USB and then plugged the TV. It took several minutes, but eventually the TV showed the SHARP Logo and then reset
Hi Julio, Mine has the motherboard issue, is it simply a matter of swapping with a new board? or is it necessary to download firmware to the new board?
K, so having issues with my sharp LC65n7004u. It did the logo comes on then shuts off thing with some dimness on one side of the screen...so I thought it was an LED replacement issue. I ordered replacements LED strips and prepared for the repair. I cracked it open...saw that there was a strip out so it was replaced. BUT....now even though all the LEDs work when tested individually...when I went to put everything back together, I have half the entire panel not powering up now. Where is my problem now? Any help will be appreciated. I though I was so clever doing an LED replacement myself, but if it's a larger issue, I"m worried I've just wasted time and more money on this thing.
Great information...thank you! My TV restarts 3 times with only the SHARP logo.. then goes to 3 long, 1 short blinks. I ordered a main board from the place you recommended...we'll see what happens. Power board seems OK.
Thanks for the video. Formatted my usb FAT32, it's not over 8gb ; and renamed file name to 'install.img' as some others have recommended. When plugged back in with USB, the white light on the tv blinks and it never gets to the blue firmware update progress screen. I think some of us have corrupted eproms / memory on these boards ; as I have seen many people replace those chips on these boards to refurb them.
Quick Tech thank you so much. . You are truely a blessing for helping people... I was about to pay $149. To have someone come out and diagnose my TV... Thank you thank you thank you💰😱😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😂😂
Hi Julio, I have a LC-60LE660U model and I’ve tried following the steps in your video, sadly without success. In your video, when you plug the TV back in, it immediately begins its start up process and moves directly into the firmware update. When I plug my tv back into the wall socket, the TV does not turn on. When I use the power button on the side I continue to get the Sharp Logo and it does not start to update. Any suggestions? Thanks
Awesome video, very thorough instructions. I have a slightly different model (PN-LE701) but it had the same problem with the SHARP logo. Using the appropriate firmware, it successfully installed, but it is still stuck on the logo. Does this mean I need to replace the motherboard? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hmmm.. My SHARP LC-43LB481U turns on and the 'SHARP' logo (black & white) is there for literally a 'split second' and disappears. I have no 'bright light' to check for 'back light' malfunction, and though the startup is similar to the point where mine disappears, I wonder if it is the same 'problem/repair' as you've posted here. Would like to see a 'response' if you would!.. Pretty informative post! Most wouldn't think of 'reburning' the board! Way to go!
Awesome tutorial really grateful, I do have a question Julio, I currently have a Sharp Aquos 70C6600U and when I turn it on it does flash the Sharp logo, it reboots and just cycles on that, you mention this may be the mother board what are your thoughts? Please advise Thanks
Just watched one of your videos. I have a sharp tv 55 in Aquos lc-55p6000u. Purchased two yrs ago. What I've been getting in the past week is a blue loading circle. Like a buffering screen that overlays the homescreen. Remote will not respond nor will the controls on the unit. Reset button don't respond. I think your vid gives me the best idea since trying to get repair. Hit me with some feedback if you've run into this problem. And I need the link to sharp support
Hey I just did this with my TV after going through every other method. Everything seemed to be fine, I found my model on sharps website, and booted it up using a 1GB flash drive which initiated the Firmware install sequence. But after it's done installing the firmware it gets stuck on the sharp logo again... I have no Idea what to do anymore.
Hey quick I have a Sharp LC-60LE660U. I did everything you said to in the video. I formatted the drive, installed the firmware update on to the USB unzipped, unplugged the tv, plugged the usb into the tv, plug the tv back in, and when I turned the TV back on, my TV was still stuck on the sharp logo, any help?
There's something wrong with the file , it should automatically start to download once u power up. Delete everything and repeat all of the steps I think ur files aren't unzipped is what it sounds like. Try again from scratch and let me know.
Great video man! Maybe u can help me , I have a 65inch Sharp Roku that turns on and off - the Sharp Roku logo pops on and off and I cannot control the tv at all. Does this sound like a motherboard issue?
I have a question. I have a 65" Sharp Aquos ..Certain channels started to freeze than one channel started to get those colorful horizontal lines...Sometimes I will switch channels on remote and the channel stays black for a while than finally the picture comes up. Can I re boot or is my picture going to go completly?
Fucking A. It worked. Sharp took the update off their website. I searched the internet for the LC-65LE654U firmware update and found a site that had it. Downloaded the update, copied it to my zip drive, and loaded the unzipped file on the TV as you explained in the video. It worked. Got my TV back. Thanks brother. Appreciate your hard work. Find the update here: www.reddit.com/r/TVRepair/comments/60e47f/fix_sharp_lc65le645u_stuck_on_sharp_screen/
Hey Quicktech. I have a 32 inch sharp and the sharp logo blinks on and off along with the smart logo. Eventually it stops and turns to a black screen. I only use Netflix, Prime and CZcams...no device is connected. What can possibly be the issue?
Quick question. I did this but the green bars load thorugh twice and on the third time, the green bars freeze/stop halfway through the loadd process. Is that common?
Great video. I'm wondering if it's my issue. Sharpe LC-65N7004U Aug 23/2020 manufactured date. Turn it on the sharpe logo comes up and goes black. Red light flashes. I've tried unplugging and holding in the power button. Same. Called sharpe and asked if it could be the the firm ware your describing and they said definitely not it was the mother board and it would cost 1/3 the cost of the TV normally and no guarantee then it would even work. Thoughts??
@@tedbrake7957 I called Sharp/Hisense today and they don't have the firmware. I called a technician and he told me that it can either be a faulty LED strip or power board. Anyway, I'm shopping around for replacement LED strips
Do you still have the zipped file you could email me? I have the exact same model but the Sharp site has been relocated to another party and I can't get the firmware.
Hey Julio, you mentioned something about the 70 inch tv's, having to use the input button manually. Could you explain? Sharp logo is stuck so I can't navigate the screen. Thanks in advance
Hey there is a video on using remote to reboot in this situation , I'll try and get back to you with link but Google it and there is a you tube video on it . Good luck
I have sharp aquos 2T-C50AE1X. How to hard reset if it has only power button? No channel or volume button or not even input button. And may you have firmware link to my model?
I have a Sharp TV, LC-65N6003U, wouldnt turn on the next am after shutting down the night before. Plugged it in, got the Sharp logo, coming on the screen, then disappearing. Happened steady, flashing off and on. Order a new board as you did, nada, nothing, bupkis no help. Cant return the purchased board as NO RETURNS POLICY. I was told by a repaIr shop it was bad LED's that shut the TV down. Going to try refire the Firmware. Nothing to lose. Ill let you know what happens with your Firmware Fix! Cheers Kully
great video, thx! question - Sharp Aquos 70C6500U bought 2013. acted up a few days ago, sound out first, then weird color pattern flashed on screen tv would go out. later it would work, then started going out more often to the point now we only get the Sharp logo screen which then goes out after a bit. Power light blinks 3 fast, 1 slow! watch videos, possibly power board, service manual say main board (communication). Doesn't seem to have firmware update for tv, only serial #'s starting with 4, ours doesn't. Any ideas/advise?
I would change motherboard and call sharp and have them send you firmware update via drop box. Then try my tutorial. I think it will work like a charm. Let me know
@@juliopadilla1222 thx! already called Sharp, they said no update for our tv, update are from 2014 and up! Our tv is 2013. Hate to change main board if it's the power board. I know service manual says "main", but several youtube vids indicate power board
@@juliopadilla1222 Thx for responding! According to Sharp service manual the 3 slow 1 fast power light blinks mean a communication issue with the main board, if not what then? Issue is in the initial post.
Great video...I’ve been all over the SharpTV sites, and I can’t find any firmware downloads (just user manuals etc). I’m wondering if Sharp took the firmware down? Any info is appreciated! Thanks.
Yeah they took down the updates for firmware. If you call them and demand that they give you them via drop box they will. You have to get it directly from them they have them 100 % sure. Scroll down the comments and someone just got it from them
Awesome let me know when u get update send it to me so I can share with anyone else that has your model. We are all here to help thanks for your contribution brother.
Thank you! Im so happy to find you. My sharp is 2012 LCD TV. Was able to do a soft start up a few time. Power button always works. Now it really won't start, power light alway works. Can you help?
Hello Julio. My brother gave me a Philips 55PFL5601 4k smart TV, Mfg Nov 2016 that's broke. He purchased it new in 2016 and it never did work. He lost the receipt so could not return it. The power comes on and it displays the Philips logo for exactly 30 seconds, then the TV turns off. No power or standby light after it turns off. It turns off after 30 seconds every time it's turned on. I've inspected the boards and could not find anything visually wrong. I checked for loose connections, burnt or bulged components, bad solder joints, etc. Nothing. Perhaps the firmware was never programmed at the factory, or got corrupted somehow. I could buy a new board if I was certain which one is bad. IDK. Anyway, Julio any advice you could give me to get this essentially new condition TV to finally work would be greatly appreciated. It would save me a ton of money if I could get this thing to work, as my old TV is slowly dying. Thanks for this video. I subbed. And thanks in advance for any info you could pass on to me. Cheers. (sorry for such a long comment) 😞 Take care and be safe.
Do you still have the firmware zip file? All the links in the comments are either not working or for my model. I will really appreciate it if you could post maybe a google doc for the firmware of LC-5n7004u. Thank you
I have sharp lc43le653u tv that as a very similar probelm except the sharp logo flashes on for approx 10 secs then off for 5 secs and repeats. Do you think the firmware update will fix this? -Thanks for the video.
Hey man I have lc-52sb55u, the green light flash TV won't come on I unplug it hold the volume button down and input TV cuts on and then cuts off, replace the power board and the LCD converter I'm sinking money in it do you think it's the t-con board or the main board

Hello, I have a Sharp aquos TV model LC-48CFG6002E which is locked in rgb mode or burning mode it displays in turn the basic colors white, black, blue, green, red. from the remote control I can just turn it on and off. as well as from the TV keys. what can I do? Many thanks in advance!
I have the same problem with my Sharp LC-55LE653U model. I cannot find a download for the firmware. It is not on the Sharp website anymore. Do you have a link for a website for the firmware?
I have the Sharp LC-65LE645U 65" TV. I can turn it on (via remote or backside of TV), "Sharp" logo displays continuously. No functions work; I must unplug TV to stop frozen logo display. I downloaded a firmware version to a FAT32 formated USB drive but I can't get beyond the Logo screen to try to refresh the firmware. I've tried unplugged for 10+ minutes, and various combinations of button presses whilst powering on.... still no joy. 😢 Any advice...? Thank you
What do I do if I forgot to format the flash drive? I put it in the tv and it started the process with ‘please do not turn off the power’ and won’t go any further. Can I take out the flash drive, format it and try again? I’m currently afraid of turning off the tv
Great explanation and easy to follow instructions! Re-installing the firmware via USB saved my TV! Thanks!
Also, thanks to those who mentioned changing the .img file name, definitely didn't work until the file name was changed
Where did you download the link from?
How big the file size?

In your video, when you plug the TV back in, it immediately begins its start up process and moves directly into the firmware update. When I plug my tv back into the wall socket, the TV does not turn on. When I use the power button on the side I continue to get the Sharp Logo and it does not start to update. Any suggestions? Thanks
Awesome video, very thorough instructions.
I have a slightly different model (PN-LE701) but it had the same problem with the SHARP logo. Using the appropriate firmware, it successfully installed, but it is still stuck on the logo.
Does this mean I need to replace the motherboard? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Same thing with our tv it successfully installed but still stuck..
Hmmm.. My SHARP LC-43LB481U turns on and the 'SHARP' logo (black & white) is there for literally a 'split second' and disappears. I have no 'bright light' to check for 'back light' malfunction, and though the startup is similar to the point where mine disappears, I wonder if it is the same 'problem/repair' as you've posted here. Would like to see a 'response' if you would!.. Pretty informative post! Most wouldn't think of 'reburning' the board! Way to go!
Ok bro thank you so much for helping
Thanks Brother !
This is very helpful thank you
Awesome tutorial really grateful, I do have a question Julio, I currently have a Sharp Aquos 70C6600U and when I turn it on it does flash the Sharp logo, it reboots and just cycles on that, you mention this may be the mother board what are your thoughts? Please advise Thanks
Hey it does sound like motherboard ' it's a simple fix u just have to find it.
How? I also have the same issues just now. How tonfix mother board?? Please help
Im having alittle trouble removing the back of the tv. All screws are out. Do i need just pry it apart with a flathead screw driver?
No shouldn't give u much resistance honestly. Just a little nudge
Just watched one of your videos. I have a sharp tv 55 in Aquos lc-55p6000u. Purchased two yrs ago. What I've been getting in the past week is a blue loading circle. Like a buffering screen that overlays the homescreen. Remote will not respond nor will the controls on the unit. Reset button don't respond. I think your vid gives me the best idea since trying to get repair. Hit me with some feedback if you've run into this problem. And I need the link to sharp support
Look at pinned post and it will lead you to a few ways to get exact firmware for your model. I have no doubt it will fix your issue.
There are several ways to format the USB. Format it how? Did you have to rename the file?
Hey I just did this with my TV after going through every other method. Everything seemed to be fine, I found my model on sharps website, and booted it up using a 1GB flash drive which initiated the Firmware install sequence. But after it's done installing the firmware it gets stuck on the sharp logo again... I have no Idea what to do anymore.
When I looked at my tv model it says archived along side it is that going to not work now because of it?
Hi, anyone here who has the same model LC-40SA5500X? I cant find the firmware on their website. I badly need help 😭
Hey quick I have a Sharp LC-60LE660U. I did everything you said to in the video. I formatted the drive, installed the firmware update on to the USB unzipped, unplugged the tv, plugged the usb into the tv, plug the tv back in, and when I turned the TV back on, my TV was still stuck on the sharp logo, any help?
There's something wrong with the file , it should automatically start to download once u power up. Delete everything and repeat all of the steps I think ur files aren't unzipped is what it sounds like. Try again from scratch and let me know.
You have to pull plug out of tv not outlet , ur back of tv should be off and plug completely out of tv not outlet
I have the same tv could you possibly send me the file?
Great video man! Maybe u can help me , I have a 65inch Sharp Roku that turns on and off - the Sharp Roku logo pops on and off and I cannot control the tv at all. Does this sound like a motherboard issue?
Likely led backlight failure
I have a question. I have a 65" Sharp Aquos ..Certain channels started to freeze than one channel started to get those colorful horizontal lines...Sometimes I will switch channels on remote and the channel stays black for a while than finally the picture comes up.
Can I re boot or is my picture going to go completly?
I would reboot it and see if it comes back. But sounds like a motherboard issue to me .let me know what happens
Fucking A. It worked. Sharp took the update off their website. I searched the internet for the LC-65LE654U firmware update and found a site that had it. Downloaded the update, copied it to my zip drive, and loaded the unzipped file on the TV as you explained in the video. It worked. Got my TV back. Thanks brother. Appreciate your hard work. Find the update here:

Hey Quicktech. I have a 32 inch sharp and the sharp logo blinks on and off along with the smart logo. Eventually it stops and turns to a black screen. I only use Netflix, Prime and CZcams...no device is connected. What can possibly be the issue?
hi ,just to ask a question on the usb that connected to the tv's,are there software been install inside the usb,then run to reboot@ update the system.
Yes installnfirst then put in tv and it will run it automatically, good luck.
Quick question. I did this but the green bars load thorugh twice and on the third time, the green bars freeze/stop halfway through the loadd process. Is that common?
I never heard this 🤔. I would delete and reload everything . Let me know what happens
@@juliopadilla1222 I downloaded the wrong one, for different model #. I found mine and the TV is up and running! Thank for theh help!
Great video. I'm wondering if it's my issue. Sharpe LC-65N7004U Aug 23/2020 manufactured date. Turn it on the sharpe logo comes up and goes black. Red light flashes. I've tried unplugging and holding in the power button. Same. Called sharpe and asked if it could be the the firm ware your describing and they said definitely not it was the mother board and it would cost 1/3 the cost of the TV normally and no guarantee then it would even work. Thoughts??
Did you have any luck with that model? I have the same TV behaving like this
@@frikoriko no I haven't really had a chance to get into yet. If you find anything let me know lol as I will when I get around to it for you
@@tedbrake7957 I called Sharp/Hisense today and they don't have the firmware. I called a technician and he told me that it can either be a faulty LED strip or power board. Anyway, I'm shopping around for replacement LED strips
Do you still have the zipped file you could email me? I have the exact same model but the Sharp site has been relocated to another party and I can't get the firmware.
KCPETE100 he just went to the sharp website
I need the file for Lc-65le654u
Thanks extremely extremely extremely helpful
My LG TV is doing the same thing tried your method but no luck but nice informative video tho
Hey Julio, you mentioned something about the 70 inch tv's, having to use the input button manually. Could you explain? Sharp logo is stuck so I can't navigate the screen. Thanks in advance
Hey there is a video on using remote to reboot in this situation , I'll try and get back to you with link but Google it and there is a you tube video on it . Good luck
I have sharp aquos 2T-C50AE1X. How to hard reset if it has only power button? No channel or volume button or not even input button. And may you have firmware link to my model?
I’m trying this on a 70 inch I’ve had for two years and wouldn’t get rid of it. I pray it works.
Did it work
Have you moved to another channel? I see that you only have one video uploaded on this channel.
I have a Sharp TV, LC-65N6003U, wouldnt turn on the next am after shutting down the night before. Plugged it in, got the Sharp logo, coming on the screen, then disappearing. Happened steady, flashing off and on. Order a new board as you did, nada, nothing, bupkis no help. Cant return the purchased board as NO RETURNS POLICY. I was told by a repaIr shop it was bad LED's that shut the TV down. Going to try refire the Firmware. Nothing to lose.
Ill let you know what happens with your Firmware Fix!
Cheers
Kully
great video, thx! question - Sharp Aquos 70C6500U bought 2013. acted up a few days ago, sound out first, then weird color pattern flashed on screen tv would go out. later it would work, then started going out more often to the point now we only get the Sharp logo screen which then goes out after a bit. Power light blinks 3 fast, 1 slow! watch videos, possibly power board, service manual say main board (communication). Doesn't seem to have firmware update for tv, only serial #'s starting with 4, ours doesn't. Any ideas/advise?
I would change motherboard and call sharp and have them send you firmware update via drop box. Then try my tutorial. I think it will work like a charm. Let me know
@@juliopadilla1222 thx! already called Sharp, they said no update for our tv, update are from 2014 and up! Our tv is 2013. Hate to change main board if it's the power board. I know service manual says "main", but several youtube vids indicate power board
@@davidaustin4579 you have power to tv it's not power board.
@@juliopadilla1222 Thx for responding! According to Sharp service manual the 3 slow 1 fast power light blinks mean a communication issue with the main board, if not what then? Issue is in the initial post.
Great video...I’ve been all over the SharpTV sites, and I can’t find any firmware downloads (just user manuals etc). I’m wondering if Sharp took the firmware down? Any info is appreciated! Thanks.
Yeah they took down the updates for firmware. If you call them and demand that they give you them via drop box they will. You have to get it directly from them they have them 100 % sure. Scroll down the comments and someone just got it from them
Julio Padilla Tha I you for the info. Very helpful! Gonna’ get this thing fixed.
Awesome let me know when u get update send it to me so I can share with anyone else that has your model. We are all here to help thanks for your contribution brother.
@Julio Padilla Done! Update worked perfectly. Thanks man. Send me your email and ill pass it on to you.

My model is lc-80le661u .... It's a commerical tv not consumer .... What firmware should i use? And where can i find it?
Thank you! Im so happy to find you. My sharp is 2012 LCD TV. Was able to do a soft start up a few time.
Power button always works. Now it really won't start, power light alway works.
Can you help?
Hello Julio. My brother gave me a Philips 55PFL5601 4k smart TV, Mfg Nov 2016 that's broke. He purchased it new in 2016 and it never did work. He lost the receipt so could not return it. The power comes on and it displays the Philips logo for exactly 30 seconds, then the TV turns off. No power or standby light after it turns off. It turns off after 30 seconds every time it's turned on. I've inspected the boards and could not find anything visually wrong. I checked for loose connections, burnt or bulged components, bad solder joints, etc. Nothing. Perhaps the firmware was never programmed at the factory, or got corrupted somehow. I could buy a new board if I was certain which one is bad. IDK. Anyway, Julio any advice you could give me to get this essentially new condition TV to finally work would be greatly appreciated. It would save me a ton of money if I could get this thing to work, as my old TV is slowly dying. Thanks for this video. I subbed. And thanks in advance for any info you could pass on to me. Cheers. (sorry for such a long comment) 😞 Take care and be safe.
For those of us that do have the problem with the sharp logo appearing and then resetting? Is that the main board???
I cannot see a firmware for LC-55le653U. Can you please guide me where to find it?
Do you still have the firmware zip file? All the links in the comments are either not working or for my model. I will really appreciate it if you could post maybe a google doc for the firmware of LC-5n7004u. Thank you
I have sharp lc43le653u tv that as a very similar probelm except the sharp logo flashes on for approx 10 secs then off for 5 secs and repeats. Do you think the firmware update will fix this?
-Thanks for the video.
I think you have to buy motherboard sorry.
Hey man I have lc-52sb55u, the green light flash TV won't come on I unplug it hold the volume button down and input TV cuts on and then cuts off, replace the power board and the LCD converter I'm sinking money in it do you think it's the t-con board or the main board
When it turns on the picture comes on for like a Split Second
Your a lifesaver
Saludos tengo el problema de una sharp LC-55P6000U se queda como buscando canales y para apagar no responde al control remoto.si conecto cualquier puerto HDMI los detecta y indica en pantalla pero nada mas..el firmware no lo e podido conseguir, algún consejo?.

Hi my 32''imperial curved tv is doing the same thing is there a site I can use to download a firmware I would like to know
thank you.. great job.
Got this exact tv for free and followed this, but it still is stuck on the logo and not starting the update. Am I doing something wrong?
I have the same problem with my Sharp LC-55LE653U model. I cannot find a download for the firmware. It is not on the Sharp website anymore. Do you have a link for a website for the firmware?
Call sharp and they will send you it via drop box
I have the Sharp LC-65LE645U 65" TV. I can turn it on (via remote or backside of TV), "Sharp" logo displays continuously. No functions work; I must unplug TV to stop frozen logo display. I downloaded a firmware version to a FAT32 formated USB drive but I can't get beyond the Logo screen to try to refresh the firmware. I've tried unplugged for 10+ minutes, and various combinations of button presses whilst powering on.... still no joy. 😢 Any advice...? Thank you
I got the same issue..Can’t find the firmware for my sharp roku LC-65Q737OU..Any ideas?
Can you help me with my sharp tv lc32le185m... when i plug it in sharp logo appears and reboot... can you direct me which part is broken...? Thanks
What do I do if I forgot to format the flash drive? I put it in the tv and it started the process with ‘please do not turn off the power’ and won’t go any further. Can I take out the flash drive, format it and try again? I’m currently afraid of turning off the tv
Yes I would unplug tv then take out
So my sharp is doing the logo loop. Do i need to replace the mother board
I have a 65 inch sharp. Lc-le6044u been trying to find the firmware download and no luck hoping you can help me
I have a 55 inch sharp that the logo is frozen on the screen will the video fix this model as well
Yes it will buddy.
