    Sharp Aquos LC-46D85UN turns off by itself

    I have a 10 year old Sharp Aquos LC-46D85UN that works for a few minutes, then it clicks and turns off. After it turns off, the OPC and the power LED blink twice together, then the OPC LED alone blinks a third time.

    Sometimes, the TV would work fine for 30 minutes before this happens. After it happened once, it keeps happening after a shorter period of time.

    Any clues on how to diagnose the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Is this set a fluorescent backlight set? If it is then after 10 years it may well be that one or more of the tubes are failing when warmed up.

    Look very carefully at the screen and see if there is a slightly darker line across the screen where perhaps a tube is failing.

    Of course it could be one of any number of other problems so this is just a suggestion.
    Willing to help but I'm no expert.

      Hi, thank you for the reply. I looked really closely, and the picture looks perfect. I do recall that, before this problem start, I was thinking, the screen seems really hot. I felt the heat when standing a couple of feet away. I thought that was just normal, but I couldn't recall noticing that before.

        Try turning down backlights level (not brightness) on all input modes to as low as possible to see if the TV will stay working longer.

          Power failure details (Power LED flashes twice and OPC LED flashes)
          DET_3V3 (pin 64): Abnormal (L). Main power 3.3V is not applied
          If error is detected during operation, error standby is activated by polling

            Thanks for the replies. I'll go about trying various things. Fortunately, I have other TVs, so this isn't time sensitive. So, I can take my time. Just hate to throw away something if it can be salvaged.

              A little test, turn it on when it acts up heat the inverter/balance boards whatever you want to call them with a hairdryer be sure to heat the 6 electrolytic capacitors, see if the tv comes back on.

                There's a way to measure the transformers on the inverter/balance boards, not sure how it's done on this one, maybe one of the resident gurus knows, can also check youtube, if one shows a big difference when tested it points to a ccfl backlight as suggested or one of those transformers probably being the issue.

                  Are you saying that heating up the capacitors might make it stay on?

                    It's just a little test that may lower the esr in a faulty capacitor for a very short time and make the tv work for a minute, then you know you have bad capacitor/s, there's other ways of checking caps with esr meter, some multimeters have esr/capacitance built in, another test is WITH TV UNPLUGGED from power, set meter to 20k on ohm mode, put neg - probe on neg - leg of capacitor and pos + probe on pos leg watch meter it should gradually increase if it's charging correctly, keep in mind that doesn't necessarily mean the esr is good.

                      Sharp Aquos LC-70C6400U Half Screen Dark
                      by scubacamper
                      I found another post on this site the other day which has been very helpful in troubleshooting this issue I am having with my tv. The left half of the screen is dark, and the other half is VERY slow to generate it's image - and it only generates part of its image at that.
                      Based on this yt video, I have narrowed it down to an issue (short?) on the left side of the display, somewhere in the system of ribbon cables.
                      when I remove the bezel and the rear cover, I can get the image to display correctly by manipulating the ribbon cables on the left side which connects the left lower display...

                      Sharp Aquos Lc-80LE757U flashing Sharp on screen when plugged in
                      by sefoster
                      I have a Sharp Aquos LC-80LE757U that randomly made a loud popping noise when when watching TV one day. We found that the fuse blew and the thermistor. We ended up replacing the entire power supply board and have also replaced the TCON board. Now as soon as I plug the TV in it lights up and has the Sharp logo flashing on and off of the screen. If I unplug the ribbon cable from the TCON board to the main board I get the 2 long 5 short error code. Any ideas on where to go from here? We've tried resetting it but nothing has worked. If we plug it in and let it cycle through the flashing of the Sharp...

                      Sharp Aquos LC-40UG7252E LCD TV burn in?
                      by jonah1024
                      Hello!

                      I'm a few days old into this TV screens repair universe so please bear with me.

                      Recently, and all of a sudden my 40ā€ 4K Sharp Aquos LCD TV turned on with colors all smudged in some places on the screen that remain like that even without any kind of video source. I do have image but the colors are smudged/tinted/ washed out in patches as per defects. This to me looks similar to burn in but I’m shore this is not an OLED.

                      - I did the classic unplug and hold power button to discharge the caps but it didn't help.
                      - I did a factory reset as well...

                      Sharp CC-60LE640U - after mainboard replacement, backlite turns on -- but cannot update firmware / see menu
                      by AustinComputerDoctor
                      Hello,

                      I am looking / wondering if anyone knows where a good firmware download link is for a LC-60LE640U, the sharp support sight says the screen is archived but offers no links.

                      I see backlite is active,

                      but I cannot get the screen to return back to menus , etc

                      This is all after replacing the mainboard...

                      any assistance is greatly appreciated.
