    Re: Sharp LC32LE440U LED lamp error service mode access

    Thanks. I checked all the caps first and none have visibly blown. Are ceramic caps different? Are they smaller? Perhaps I'm not looking at the right thing. I'm a novice at this but willing to get in there. I've replaced bad caps on other electronics items. Appreciate the reply (even if you are a southerner).

    Tom66: You're from my part of the world! I may be in LA now but, you can take the bloke out of Yorkshire... Any further guidance you can offer would be appreciated. Very frustrating to have a TV that seems fully functioning, if only occasionally, but that you can't rely on. No new news other than it starts perhaps one out of 5 days, presumably due to temperature. Cooler mornings it works but if I turn it off it will not come back on as I guess warmed up just enough by then. Ta.

    Wow, thanks everyone. So the reason there are no lamp error codes might be because it's not relevant to my model's design? Interesting. If it's a thermal issue, which does seem plausible, how do I proceed. New T-con board perhaps? Re software update: is there a resource? I put the file on a memory stick and connect via USB, right? Forgive my inexperienced but I am trying to learn. Thanks again.

    Re: sharp aquos LC-80LE632U led tv lamp error

    Hi. So, the TV finally came on and I was able to access the factory menu. Service model. By keying menu 3481 on the remote one after another. Not holding menu while keying the numbers as the manual seems to suggest. Problem is, there is no lamp error reset option anywhere in the factory menus. Should I just restore back to Factory a Reset?...

    Re: sharp aquos LC-80LE632U led tv lamp error

    Thanks for helping. While not for my TV that PDF offered something. The only service mode code that did anything was for the CSM. It turned the red front LED green. But alas, since I have no image even if I was in a service mode I can't see anything to find and reset the codes. I fear this is a lost cause. Which is frustrating as for a while on cold mornings the TV started. Then, now armed with what appear to be the correct codes, I would be able to access and reset. So, what I need now is a way to bring the screen back to life. It stubbornly...

    Hmmm... A small sign of life. The service manual says to enter service mode you hold menu and key in 3481. I assumed all on the remote. But using menu button on the TV and numbers on the remote turned the red led to green so I think maybe it did enter service mode. But without an image on the screen there's not a lot I can do with it. Hopefully a cold start will work to light up the screen in the morning and then I'll enter service mode. Again hopefully.

    Sharp LC32LE440U LED lamp error service mode access

    LC32LE440U Can't access service mode to reset lamp error. Manual says hold menu plus key in 3481. Presumably on remote (how else?) but TV doesn't see remote. No blinking LEDs on front. All back lights seem fine. On cold mornings TV can start and work 100% fine. But if turned off won't restart as (presumably) warmed up a little by then. Tried all listed optioned for entering service mode via side buttons and remote with no luck. Maybe next time it works I can enter service mode then? Would love to know how to get into service mode to reset on this model or find correct resistor on LED driver circuit...

    Re: sharp aquos LC-80LE632U led tv lamp error

    Hi. Was that for my 32" Sharp? I did try it as it's yet another suggestion as to how to get into service mode. Alas it did not work. The red LED on the front is unmoved and TV appears to not recognize any remote command. The led will turn green if I use the power button on the TV. Remote batteries are fine. When, on the rare cold occasion the TV works it recognizes the remote and all inputs and instructions. Vexing issue really. Just need to reset those lamp error codes or jump the component on the led board if you happen to know...
