Top 5 Stories of the Week: Studies show iPhone users have more sex »


My new Sharp Aquos LCD TV had been working with no issues in the two months since I bought it. Without ever touching the settings or touching any of the cables, the TV stopped reconizing HDMI inputs. The cable, composite inputs, and components inputs worked fine - leaving me with no explanation as to why the HDMI inputs all of a sudden stopped working. Restoring the settings to factory default didn’t work. Flashing the bios - yes TVs have bioses now - didn’t work. Here’s what eventually did:

Unplug every single cable including the power cable. Leave it off for 10+ mins. I left mine off for about one hour and took a nap to alleviate some frustration. Then plug the power back in and it should work again. It did for me.

I can’t believe TVs need to be rebooted nowadays but that’s basically what I did and it worked. Hopefully this saves people time with customer support or shipping it to the manufacturer for a replacement!
