I have a Sharp LC-52D85UN that won't power on. The Power and OPC lights blink 2 times together and then the OPC light flashes 3 times by itself. I pushed the volume up and channel down buttons while plugging in the power and the backlight came on, but I can't get the TV to display anything with the remote or side buttons. I can power it off and on with the remote and the power button after I get it on as described above. If I hit the Menu button on either the TV or remote, the screen seems to get a bit brighter and the reverse when pressed again. Even though the backlight came on, could this still...

I'm John and I like repairing TV's as a hobby. I'm a computer guy by trade, but I find the new LCD TV's a challenge, since board level component changes can get a discarded unit back into operation.
