This problems very common in Sharp LCD tvs.The Tuner signal board have problems,every times the power LED,OPC LED lites up,just push the power button on again,wait see if the LCD backlight lite up and works,not the Power lite and the OPC lite LEDS flashes again.You,just have to push the power button again,sometimes u have to push the power button at least 6 or 7 times to get the Power LED stable,and then LCD backlight,come on than the tv work.Not sure,but if the Power and OPC lites keep flashing,after u pushes the power button at lest 10 or 12 times,and the LCD backlight dosen't come on and the tv don't work.I think,it time to change the Tuner board is completely dead.I have a Sharp LCD tv, I do this everytimes pushing the power button at least 3 or 4 than the power LED stable,and the LCD backlight come on than the tv work.Not a plaw in the power supply like those capacitors in many LCD models tvs,but some included Sharp Tvs is the Tuner signal board is not very good in design,use the tv awhile the Tuner signal board have problems recieving the power to it Tuner board components.

Tv has no picture. When turned on, the OPC and power blinks. Can you tell me what the problem is?

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy.

I am currently working on a Sharp Lc37sb24u. I was originally thinking it had a bad inverter board but now I am not so sure. When I turn the tv on the picture comes up with audio for about 2 seconds the...

Did you check the service manual troubleshooting guide yet. You can try disconnecting the power to the inverter board and see if it will stay on and have sound.

Our sharp LC-37D6U does not turn on. The opc/dl light keeps flashing green X3 then every second or so. and the blue power button flashes also. What might we have to do to solve the problem? thank you

The main tv Tuner signal board it is dead or it have problems,but tv still usable.Tries push the remote power switch off/on again everytimes OPC/Power LEDS lights flashes.Have to do this maybe 3 or 4 times for the tv to have a lite up LCD screen panel backlight to make the tv Tuner signal board to work again,for the tv to work.If still have same problems after 3 or 4 times power switch pushes off/on still have OPC/Power LEDS lights flashes.Mean the main tv Tuner signal board it is dead and can not be trying to save it.Tries websites like Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a whole new refurbish tv Tuner signal board for the replacement.This solution 100% will work,if ur tv main Tuner signal board still have life left in it.I do this every few days out of a week for my 46" Sharp Aquo LCD tv set,tv it work all the times.

Power light and opc lights blinking green

It can be the power supply is sensing short circuits in the power supply itself or in the backlight inverter board, those are the two areas you need to inspect.

No POWER

How many times does the POWER led flash per second? (Dont worry about the OPC).

1x (steady constant blink) = Lamps or inverters
2x = Power Supply
3x = Main Unit

If i am reading it correctly, looks like the POWER led is flashing 2x, which means it is a power supply failure. Either way, your TV needs to have a board replaced, there isn't anything you can do to fix it yourself. Try locating your local sharp authorized service center to repair your TV (1-800-237-4277)
