The same problem is found with Sharp TVs. They won’t turn on.
Sharp TV owners claim they have had this issue in many cases. Some say it’s been an ongoing problem for years.
Sharp TVs shouldn’t be turned off. They should be fixed quickly by a technician.
Sharp TV won’t turn off
You will need to reset your Sharp TV if it won’t turn off.
Unplug Sharp TVs from Wall
This is a simple fix, but it’s the best way to turn on your Sharp TV.
Give the device at least 60 seconds. After one minute, unplug the device.
Turn off your TV. Hold the power button for 30 seconds. Use your remote control!
This will turn off any remaining power and allow the TV to soft-reset.
After the 60-second limit expires, plug the TV into the power outlet. After the 60-second limit has expired, turn on the TV again.
This should resolve approximately 80% of cases. For 20% of cases, it can be very difficult.
Sharp remote offers batteries
If the problem persists, replace the batteries.
The remote must be taken apart to remove both batteries.
Once the batteries are removed, hold the power button down for 30 seconds. This should take at least 30 seconds, not 10.
After 30 seconds have passed, you can plug the batteries in and turn the TV on again.
You might consider buying new batteries for this task.
Sharp TV should always be on
If your Sharp TV doesn’t turn on or blinks slow and fast, force it to power on.
You can do this by simultaneously pressing volume down, channel up, and power on the TV.
Sharp TVs will turn on when they make a clicking sound.

Locate a new power outlet
Your Sharp TV will likely not stop working. You can connect it to another outlet in your house.
Short circuits and blown fuses can occasionally occur in outlets. It is not known what the problem might be.
You could also purchase a small appliance and plug it in to the same outlet as your TV.
An outlet that is turned on indicates that the device is functioning.
It is unlikely that this is the cause. However, it is an important step to troubleshooting and should always be done quickly to eliminate suspicions.

After this point, your Sharp TV’s backlight might have stopped working.
Turn on the TV first. Next, use a flashlight for verification.
When you flash the light, the image will appear on the screen.
