Re: Sharp LC-60E78UN

Freakaftr8: I have not checked the Pin on the PS as I'm not sure which it is. Any service information I found for this set is very limited - almost useless. Do you know which pin to check? There is no indication it was dropped. Actually it belongs to an old time customer of mine that had it hung on the wall when it failed, so I doubt it dropped. There is NO ATTEMPT at all that I can see for the CCFL to come on........no flash, no partial. I tried unplugging one side at a time also. No difference, same issue. Whatever the issue is it appears to not let the set...

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.
