Sharp LC-60LE745U, blinking light

[Falcons2677]

Hello all,
I have this sharp lc-60le745u will not power on. It has the blinking light 1 slow 1 fast. I tried channel - volume - and then plug in. There was no change. I then tried channel - and input and plugged in. TV came on there was no K on the screen it just came on and has been working since, about 2hrs now. I looked through the forum here and found the service manual. It looks like inverter or bulb problem by the blinks i was having. Should I be concerned or was it a fluke. Maybe a power surge or something. Any suggestions

Thanks

Those TVs are known for bad LEDs. You will most likely see that fault again.

well picture is coming in and going out. Audio is fine but the picture will go out. The logo on the front will blink 1 slow then 1fast. Would that be the inverter? If its a bad LED, how do you fix?

LED Tvs don't have inverters. If you're getting a 1-1 code it's almost certainly an LED strip. If it gets to the point that it won't come on at all, you'll probably find a blown led on a strip. You can bypass it with a resistor or a diode or a white led. Or replace the entire strip. Do a search on this forum.
