The problem with this set is all of sudden on one turn on it would not come on. It will display the Sharp logo for about 6 seconds, and then backlight goes out for about 5 seconds, then repeats over and over. I feel like this may be a firmware or eeprom issue. Sharp has the firmware on their site, but the download doesn't work. Does anyone have this or know another source for it? Thanks!

Re: Sharp LC-55LE653U Firmware
It only takes a few minutes, about 5 minutes. Just place the file on a USB drive, do not place in a sub folder. Unplug the TV, plug the USB drive into the TV, then plug the TV in and it should turn on and start updating, if it does not turn on then press the power button.

Re: Sharp LC-55LE653U Firmware
For reference, I used a 16GB USB thumb drive formatted FAT32. Turned tv on to get it into the reboot loop. Turned off power at surge suppressor. Inserted thumb drive with firmware update and turned power back on at surge suppressor. Worked like a champ. Did not need to press the power button to turn television on. The update turned the set on and brought up the welcome screen.

Can confirm updating the firmware works.

You may need to right click on the Download button and open it in a new window, then agree to the terms. I couldn't get anything to download just by clicking the button.
1) Get a thumb drive. I used an 8 gig, formatted to fat32.
2) Unzip the downloaded file and then put the contents (a single file) on it. No folders, just the file.
3) Unplug TV, insert the USB drive, plug back in.
Takes about 5 minutes to update.
