Service mode entry, adjust and exit procedure to many popular brand TVs are given. Never forget to exit the service mode, after all adjustments have been done.
NB: Please read and understand well, the instructions to enter the service mode, before you begin. Be very careful. Note how to "EXIT" the service mode; after entering and adjusting data. This is very important.
Type in the brand name only to your device, in the search box [at the top right] of the display window and the Search will start at once as you type in, and will show you all the related posts. It will make surf easy.
Contact Sharp to see if it can be a "reset" issue and to see if this is a known problem in this model----more likely than reset would be a possible software upgrade but it depends on what actual issue is---maybe a bad board somewhere in the set.
