Sharp lcd tv power button flashing

We have owned a Sharp 32" LCD TV for about two years. Last night, the TV turned itself off and won't come back on. The power button just keeps flashing green. Any ideas?

Presumably it's out of warranty so take it back to the dealer -- a TV is a consumer durable and should certainly endure a lot longer than the warranty.

If the retailer starts quoting the warranty period, quote back the bit in the warranty that says it does not affect your normal consumer rights.

^ Forgot to add - you should use a surge protector on your TV, esp. if you live in Florida or other T-storm prone states. If you have cable TV service, I'd also recommend using a cable surge block on the coax where it comes into the house. Basically it's a coax connector with a male screw-on connector on each end, and a grounding screw that you connect to a pipe such as the cold water pipe buried in the ground.

The frequency and color of the blinks will indicate the issue. There is a hold-down button sequence to try to backdoor your way into the set to see if the panel will light. You may have simply racked up too many "weird tuner faults" and need to reset it. My suspicion is that it's either that or bad panel backlight.

Unplug set, press and hold (on set) volume-down and channel-down and hold them while pluging in set. Will come on with "k" on screen, or will crash again if backlight bad. If it stays on, use your remote and arrow right then look for "fact init" and any other reset and turn them on. Arrow back up to "fact init" and hit enter. Let set recycle to green and unplug/re-plug in 5 seconds: the set should be in OOB state.
