Television arrived "dead". No picture, No sound, after plugging in and without hitting the power button the set will attempt to come on Green Power LED (solid on). Approx. every 15 seconds the power relay would cycle until the third time. After the third instance the POWER and OPC LEDs will flash, followed by the POWER LED flashing twice more (OPC/Power once - Power Twice more for a total of 3 POWER and 1 OPC).
I tried the forced resets - called SHARP consumer assistance to confirm - no results. They would not convey any assistance for the Flashing Code.
Backlighting does NOT seem to even try to come on.
I tried unplugging the EL Backlight modules to see if the OPC/POWER flashing failure would change with no luck.
Researching the WEB (including this site) indicated a POWER BOARD as a likely failure (and common). I purchased a rebuilt PS board and the set exhibits the exact same failure.
Can anyone assist? I don't know if this is a MAIN BOARD, Back Light board, T-Con, etc.... or a bad panel. It was working fine before it failed.
I downloaded a service manual I found on the WEB but it is virtually useless.
I don't want to "TRASH" a 60", 4 year old, LCD set before at least giving it one last shot.
THX in advance.
