This is about my Sharp Aquos LED TV model number LC-46LE700UN and serial number 908821654 which I bought in 2009.
Here is a video I took of the issue:
It has been working perfectly for nearly 7 years without a single problem until I carried it upstairs a few days ago. It is a little heavy for me, when I carried it up the stairwell, a corner of the TV frame had a little scratch on the handrail, but the LED screen remains intact.
However when I connected the power and attempted to turn it on. Nothing happens, except that the power and OPC lights kept on blinking. The blinking pattern can be seen from the following video I took. When I press the power button, I do hear the little pop sound from the TV (the sound when the TV powers on), and when the room is dark, I can see that the screen faintly flashes a very brief moment and goes dark.
I called Sharp customer service, and they tried to have me reset the unit by using different combinations of the buttons, but it didn't help.
I assumed it is a small issue because I can't think of anything that has ever happened to the TV that would make it stop working.
I am still grieving over this incident. If you have any idea about this issue, especially if you understand the power/OPC lights blinking pattern, please share your 2 cents.
Thanks and please watch the 1 minute video about the power/OPC lights blinking pattern.
