Sharp Aquos Model LC40C32U HDMI problem

[tieny]

Hey I got a 32" Sharp Aquos Model #,LC40C32U. The AVI, VGA, and other inputs are working great however the HDMI inputs don't seem to work. When plugging into HDMI, I get a flashing on and off pink screen. Any idea's what can be causing this? Main board problem perhaps? The OSD is showing up fine though.

definatley sounds like main board,however,check all the hdmi inputs 4 on this model?,for signal changes,clean out the hdmi ports with iso alcohol ,check your hdmi lead,then check that the voltages from the psu is correct going to the main board

There are two hdmi ports on this TV. I tried with both inputs and both have the same response with pink flashing screen, so I don't think the port is the problem itself. I'll be checking the voltages in a bit.

Actually nevermind I found the problem. Jiggling the input around I got different responses on the screen. I accidently bent the hdmi cable awhile back so i had to strip it and restore each lead on it so i think there was a bad connection with the cable. What threw me off was that the cable worked fine on another TV but not this one. Thanks!
