Hello I have a sharp 25g s100 tv and the power button doesn't work. I also don't have the original remote, and had to program a universal one to turn the tv on and off. This was fine but occasionally the remote 'loses' the code and you have to reprogram or search for the code. Only problem is, the remotes have to be programmed when the tv is on, and since the power button doesn't work, I can't turn the tv on or program the remote. How do I replace the power button or find a dedicated remote that I don't have to program with the tv turned on? thanks
The remote may or may not be the real problem, it is possible on most of these to gain access with back removed directly to the tiny button switch that is in back of the plastic power button on the set and press it with something not sharp (a micro switch is what the button activates) and if set comes on get the remote programmed.
Your best bet if the set will make it on that way is to get the original remote----if in North America with the model number of the set contact either Sharp or Andrews Electronics---usually the original is under 35 dollars and no headaches with programming.
If set does not turn on manually with the micro button you may now have a actual circuit problem in the set.
Testimonial: "thanks for a solution that i didn't consider and could very well help fix the problem"
Thanks for your reply. I will look into how to get the front of the tv off so that I can access the power switch. I did also decide before to order a generic remote for that set which is on it's way. Your solution was helpful, but the button for me to click 'yes' disappeared... maybe if you reply again the button will come back and I can give you solution credit. Thank you anyhow charles
the button came back and i posted a yes to the solution. thanks!
