My Sharp LC-32SB24U will not power on from the remote. It will work if you push the button on top. I have another sharp lcd in the house and I tried that remote also but it still will not turn on from the remote. Please Help.

Thank you for your help bshldn. I followed your instructions for tv disconnect/reconnect and remote battery/button process. After that, our 46" Sharp Aquos worked off of both our remotes again. I do have a question. Does having to do this reset indicate that my internal sensor is beginning to go bad? After reading the many complaints about the internal sensors on these tvs going bad at about a year (mine is 16 months old) I wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the sensor?

Thanks. It worked like a charm. Thanks. It worked like a charm.

No this is not an indication that it is going bad. The remotes can fail for various reasons not limited to dust on the sensor, direct sunlight, energy saving lightbulb/fluorescent lights, and other ir in the room.
