    Update: after resetting TV, lower backlight brightness to 50% in tv menu then do firmware update via internet or USB drive to prevent future errors. if error happens again and again you must replace LED backlight strips, see that fix here- czcams.com/video/YgaL6X6eSaU/video.html

      Hi. Thank you for your informative videos. I also have a screen problem with a 32inch Sharp LCD TV and was hoping that you would be able to point me in the right direction to find the solution. Every time we turn the TV on the image goes out after about a second, but sound remains. There is a bit of flicker before the screen turns black. To get the screen to stay on we have to repeatedly switch it to standby mode and back on again. Sometimes it takes three attempts and other times up to ten. Do you perhaps have an idea where the problem could be? Thanking you in advance, Klaus Oellrich

    I recently switched cable carriers: from Direct TV back to U-verse (which was not without significant heartburn, it took 3 techs to complete the switch). Suddenly the picture on my 52" Sharp plasma TV began flickering and went out! The U-verse tech said my TV has gone bad. I was beside myself and refused to believe it. So, I googled the problem and watched the CZcams video on how to reset the TV. IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!!! I am again watching my beautiful TV with a crystal clear picture!!! THANKS SO MUCH Tampatec. I will always search for your advice before the repairman!!!

    My TV quit right during the Super Bowl. I immediately went to You Tube to find a solution as there was no way I could get a tech to come out. This worked for me. I couldn't believe it! I have never fixed anything electronic in my life. Thank you so much for posting such clear instructions. My husband is impressed.

    I had to do this three times but on the third attempt it worked perfectly. Not sure why it did not work the first couple of times and i am sure I followed the directions to the detail but when I got to the green screen and shut it off, I then unplugged and replugged and the arrow light flashed the first two times. Third time a charm. Thanks for the tip, you saved me a lot of money.

  • @laurencavarra1098
    @laurencavarra1098 Před 5 lety +4

    First of all, thank you for your videos. They’re easy to follow and I appreciate your time. I tried all of you fix options, but none have worked. I have had this 55” Sharp TV model LC55P8000U for LESS THAN 8 months and it already stopped working. When I try to turn it on with the remote the red power light stays on but nothing happens. If I press power again, it blinks 5 times and then turns off. To make things even more confusing, sometimes when I press the power button from the remote there is a 3-4 second delay and then the red light blinks 5 times. And AGAIN, sometimes it’ll blink 10 times. I’m so confused. I keep reading about trying the reset where you hold down the volume and input buttons, but my tv DOESN’T HAVE BUTTONS!! It only has one joystick thing that has engraved arrows for up, down, left, right, and the center button says ‘ok’. I tried that process with my remote buttons... still nothing. Any chance you can help?

  • @wmitnick
    @wmitnick Před 7 lety +19

    Hi , I own a TV repair company, Affordable Mobile TV Repair in Virginia Beach Va. The reason that I responding to your post is that you are telling half of the story. These sets accumulate lamp error codes, so just zeroing them out of the register and resetting the set will NOT permanently fix the set. It's a temporary fix at best. We have repaired approx 250 of these sets over the last 3 years and most of the time, you have to replace the led strips themselves to ensure a permanent fix for this problem. If you do not, the tv will show the same blink code again after the register accumulates more than 6 lamp error hits! Thanks

    • @TampaTec
      @TampaTec  Před 7 lety +4

      Wayne Mitnick thanks, for the tips, I did a few LED strips before but thought this error was triggered by a software glitch because tv came on and stayed on. I thought maybe there could be a firmware update to patch it. Awesome you're helping the community, if you start a CZcams channel I'll sub. I respect your professional advice. i added that note in the video description, Thanks again

      So I have this issue and once I followed the lampreset I ALSO hooked TV into a battery backup. That way if power goes out for a few minutes, the TV wont start the flashing as long as there is continuos power via outlet or ups. Working for over a year no rese needed a 30 UPS keeps it powered for a bit

    Unfortunately it did not fix my problem, I suspected power module issue from the beginning but I want to commend you on your content, your ability to put "tech savvy" information into Simplified Technical English is very polished. The information you provided at the end was a great closeout for those of us who need to delve into the more complicated fix (not so complicated but not a simple button hold combination either). Thank you for putting this information out there, you have my like and sub.

Also the Light under the Sharp logo gives me a long flash and then a shot flash, it looks very dim. Do you think it might be a bad power supply? Thanks!

    I have a LG 6550 tv that was bought last year. Last week the lower 3rd of the screen begin blinking greyish lines. I unplugged the tv and plugged it back in. I also unplugged the cable box to the tv but it even did the grey lines blinking/flashing with the items disconnected. The only thing that has ever been connected to the tv has been the cable box.
    Do you propose the next step is going in and reset to original settings? Or is it an internal issue?

    I have a 40", pretty sure it's a standard LCD predating LED from 2011. This got the TV on, but it does appear to have a legitimate backlight issue as it constantly flickers in brightness. The first thought is a backlight inverter board, though I've seen all kinds of issues caused by the main power supply itself. Do you happen to have any advice on testing for faults in the inverter board?

    ** Unfortunately this fix did not work for me. I called a tech out for $59 and the fix was to hold the Volume +, Volume -, and Power button at the same time and then plug the TV back in and wait for the solid light to come on. This will work until there is a power outage or the TV is unplugged, then the slow followed by the quick blinking light will go on again. Hope this will help some folks out that couldn't make Tampa Tec's original fix work. **

    Love watching your vids, you give us info that most brick & mortar techs would not. Thanks you for that.
    To you or anyone else that may know, I have a hitachi LE42S605 that my 2 yr old son decided he wanted to 'water' while we stepped out of the room...yay. Needless to say it doesn't work now, and I took it apart, and found where the t-con ribbon comes off the board to the bottom of the screen, is blackened and corroded and you can see where it was wet. Can that be replaced? Not on the board side, but the screen side. I haven't fully disassembled it yet to check, but it doesn't look like it.
