Sharp LC-60LE651

Hi all.
I have been googling my issue and i found this site and by reading other topics here i think you all could assist me with some guadiance regarding my LCD TV i won't give up on.

The TV is approx 2 years.

Its seems like the TV has started living its own life.

1. It could power on it self randomly, mostly at night after a few hours of using it during the evening.

2. It has started to hang during startup. I can start the TV and standby LED changes colour to on but it never boots up. To solve this issue ill have to unplug it, wait for a couple of mins, sometimes hours or days and then it runs fine again for a few days. This model has only touch buttons and these ones do not work for recycle power when the TV does not start. If i use the remote, i can see that the TV i recieving signal "led flashing when pressing" but i cant turn it off or anything else.

3. When it start like it should do, after the standby led turns to on, the Sharp logo is presented and the TV start. Sometimes, this actually happens twice upon starting. The Sharplogo is presented, then it powers off the display and after a few seconds, the Sharplogo is presented once again.

4. After some time running, the audio stops working and forces me to unplug it to get it back. Even if i use the remote to restart, it does not go back.

5. It could totally freeze, which also forces me to unplug it from the wall.


From looking around, it seems like this is some problem with the powerboard and i am looking for some advice regarding this.

Could it be bad caps or is it somehow more advanced and not worth look further into?

I have taken a good look to see if i could find any obvious damaged components but they all seem fine. I will more than happy change most of the caps if you all think i could cause the problem.

I have attached a picture of the board.

All advice are much appreciated.

Best regards
Mike

Re: Sharp LC-60LE651

I owned this TV for just over a year until it was replaced by the retailer under extended warranty, my Girlfriends parents also own one of these, buying theirs a whole year before I purchased mine.

I've experienced all the problems you describe, as have my future in-laws. Its no fault, its just the way they are - very temperamental. I've seen this on two separate TV's running different Firmware versions.

Also a couple of issues you might be unaware of, the backlight noticeably flickers or blinks roughly once per second if set below 100, very noticeable at 30 or below. HDMI 4 (Side Input) also does not like resolutions above 720p/1080i - When running at 1080p my PS3, SkyQ, Netgem PVR FireTV Stick all dropped out with multi coloured snow, green screens etc, this issue lead to the TV being written off and replaced (again both TV's have this issue)

Nice TV's but its a shame they messed up the software side of things.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, we were a bunch of us here at work who bought the same model and we have all encountered the below issues except for the startup problem.

The other issues, i can live with but the problems regarding starting up is a real pain since it can take days before it starts again. And this is something that has started to happen every week now. Before, it could happen once every third month but was quickly fixed by unplugging the power cord.

Now, its a real struggle. I can unplug the power cord 10 times in a row and the TV won't start. If I leave it unplugged for a day, it could start.

Best regards
Mike
