The installation guide and the operation manual for the LC-52D85U are available here: https://www.sharpusa.com/Support/ProductDetail.aspx?model=LC-52D85U . See the top right of page 29 (page 31 of the PDF) of the operations manual for the Operation Lock Out section. You need a remote control to disable the control panel lock. A universal remote may work if you find a code that match the Menu function button. My browser history gives the direct link to the manual as http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTVs/Manuals/tel_man_LC46_52_D85U.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Possibly stucked volume button on tv

More likely the board or the connectors to it. Take it for repair. It is a good make and worth doing.

Hello, it's one of two things, the main board has gone bad (part # DUNTKD934FM04-V2), or the panel has gone bad (rare, but I have seen it a couple of times). Google the part number and see how cheap you can find one., a set that age you don't want to tie up $150-$200 in a main board. Thanks Techman 57

Hello Austin, the image/video disappeared because the TV failed to power on completely. LED TVs are known to have backlight failures and I'm sure your TV has a defective backlight failure.

Hi, Please power cycle your tv . If this issue persists, please remove all accessories and restart tv. If not fixed, we can move on to performing a factory reset. Thank you.

Hi, please power cycle your smart tv. If this does not work, please remove all accessories and power cycle again. If still not working, you can factory reset the tv next. Thank you.

Best bet would be main board, sounds like firmware in EEProm is corrupt

Hi Neal, it seems like backlight failure it's very common on LED Tv's. Since you can see something on the screen, that means that the LED strips will have to be replaced. These types of repairs can be a bit tricky and you should be very careful if you're fixing the TV yourself. Let me know if you require further assistance.

The best place to get firmware is direct from the Sharp website. https://www.google.com/search?q=LC-49CFE6452E+sharp+firmware ..

In Australia you can not use it. There is no "free other over the air" TV any more. In the last 5 years they switched it gradually off. You can't use it with a standard antenna. now you need an additional costly and spacely set top box to get hd- channels.

One of the boards needs replacing. Take it in for professional diagnosis and repair. https://www.google.com/search?q=Sharp+PN-L803C+top+25%25+of+picture+dimmer+than+rest+of+screen ..

Hello, a very common issue with these sets, the back lights in the screen have gone bad...sorry. Thanks Techman 57

Those are called 'Blink Codes' and tell a technician what the issue is. I do not recommend television self-repair. It never ends well. https://www.google.com/search?q=sharp+4k+roku+blink+codes https://www.fixya.com/support/r29790007-repairing_own_television ..

Hi, First, please check that your one of your tv remote buttons isn't stuck because this could cause your tv to continuously go into a certain mode. You might then attempt to factory reset your tv to stop the service-mode issue. Please reference your device's manual to help with this. Thank you.

Hi Shannon, if your TV is an LED then more likely the LED strips that are located behind the screen will fail and will need to be replaced. Depending on the age and size of the TV, it might not be economical to get it fixed unless you want to try fixing it yourself. Let me know if you require further assistance.

Hi, Please use the factory reset option for your tv as described in your manual. And then use the wifi setup instructions to help setup your tv to function as you expect. Thank you.
