Sharp Aquos tv stuck on logo loop

[Omnomious]

I have tried unplugging it and leaving it for a while, I tried holding the Vol. Down and Input buttons while plugging in and all it does it powers on, shows the SHARP logo, then powers off and repeats this over and over. Any advice? Tried googling this and found nothing. Sharp customer service is closed right now and plan to call tomorrow, barely had this TV a year. Just wanna see if I can fix it before a long process with them and possible spending of money for a new TV and I want to avoid that right now.

I'll answer my own thread, for those that seek the same situation. You need to replace your main board, I found some on eBay for 50 bucks, take the back off your TV and just swap them out. Don't do this if you still have warranty, I however, did not have one anymore. Saved me hundreds in labor cost. Only cost me 50 bucks and about 15 minutes of my time and now my TV acts like it's new. Hope this helps someone else, I couldn't find anything about this online.

Did you have to have any special tools to replace it?

How did you locate the part you needed? What codes do we look for?

There were no codes that displayed for me. The tv just kept turning on and off. I found the part on eBay, just search your model number and look for "main board".

I replaced the board and have the same problem with the logo loop.. did you replace it and turn in the TV as normal? Because that didn't work for me

Did you replace the right one? It's the small green motherboard. Chances are you got a messed up replacement. All I did was swap the board and it turned right on. Haven't had issues since.

I had same problem and my TV was out of warranty aswel I still contacted sharp and they sent me an update and told me to download it onto an empty usb and plug it into the TV wile it was unplugged and the plug it in it basically reset the TV to day one and now works fine although this is too late for you I thought ide at it to help others

I had the same problem all you need is a empty usb a laptop/pc and to contact sharp for an update with the required instructions it will send your TV back to day one and youl be good to go it did take 2 full days to finally get the update sent as could only email you will need your serial number to send sharp

I had to come here to give my review as I searched all around for answers and only one gave me answers that didn't require spending. I have a LC-48LE653U sharp Aquos tv, that was stuck in start up loop. Went on sharp's website to download firmware, but of course it wasn't there, because this specific model was not made by sharp, it came right out of China, so I used the next best thing the LC-55LE653U firmware, and best believe it worked
1. You'll need a USB, it should be blank, to do this right click theUSB when the computer detects it, and select format
2. Go on sharps website and type in the model of your tv
3. Under product downloads, you'll see firmware, accept and download the 1st one
4. It takes around 8 to 10 mins depending on ur computers space
5. Go to where the file is downloaded, right click, select extract all, a pop up will appear asking where you want to extract it to, select your USB
6. When it's finished downloaded safely eject
7. Unplug ur tv,
8. Insert USB in tv, then plug tv in. DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON
9. When the firmware is installed, tv will come on automatically.
Now you can set up ur tv.
I promise you'll thank me, I made sure to give details, because I struggled to find info, hope I helped one person to save 1000s of dollars on a new set or repair
