Sharp Aquos LC-65LE654U Stuck on logo / start-up cycling

As the title says, I’ve got a Sharp Aquos LC-65LE654U doing the infamous frozen logo / frozen startup cycle. I read a firmware update via USB might fix it but I cannot find the firmware online and it doesn’t appear that SHARP publishes it on their website anymore. I have emailed them but not getting my hopes up for a good response.

Anyone know of another avenue or if an older firmware version would be okay to try? (I think I came across one in an old post).

Otherwise I’ll pursue replacing the main board but they look very expensive and hard to find.

Thank you

Did this file ever get uploaded any where? Also, you are the goat for letting us know.

I never found a way to upload somewhere publicly. Looks like another member provided a link however.:

sharpusa.com/Support/ProductDetail.aspx?model=LC-60LE660U

If that doesn’t work I can email it! I just have to find it on my computer

@Reza Rafati

I have the model listed by the OP. You list a different model. I would suggest sending an email to aquossupport@sharpsec.com with your model number and serial number. I told them I was booting to the Sharp logo screen and not getting any further. They supplied me with a URL to the file to update the firmware.

I emailed SHARP who was reluctant to provide the firmware and miraculously weeks later they sent me “the only firmware they have for that model”. I followed the process that someone on Reddit recommended (unzipping the file to a FAT 32 formatted USB drive and naming it install.img) https://www.reddit.com/r/TVRepair/commen...

The TV began loading the firmware immediately and it now works 100% normal again. I am ecstatic.

I’m going to try to find a way or place to upload the firmware for other people who may need this. There is literally no other option to fix this model that I could find except a main board repair for $150. This repair was 100% free for me and relatively simple.

Any possible way you could email the firmware to me to avoid the hassle with sharp? I am experiencing the same problem as well!

I had Sharp email me a link to the firmware file, but the zip file is corrupted. So, I have emailed them again requesting a link to an uncorrupted file. I have not heard back from them yet.

You can go to (http://www.sharphomeusa.com/Downloads/Fi...) to download the firmware that you are looking for.

I searched the internet for an uncorrupted version of the firmware that Sharp support pointed me to. I found this file out there. Use at your own risk, since it is not supplied by Sharp. I can say that I downloaded it and used it to reset the firmware in my TV. I have the same model as the OP. It worked just great for me. I hope this will help others who are struggling with the Sharp logo stuck on the screen on power up.

Hi Hugh, thank you so much for posting this!

Unfortunately, the link you shared (https://rebyte.me/...) now gives a **Cloudflare Error 523 (Origin is unreachable)**, meaning the server is down or no longer hosting the file.

I have the same Sharp LC-65LE654U and I'm stuck on the boot logo. I already contacted Sharp support, but they sent me a link that returns a **404 error**, and they won’t send the file via email.

If you still have a copy of the firmware file (**tel_soft_LE653U_LE654U_v369.zip**), could you kindly upload it again via Google Drive or Dropbox? I would truly appreciate your help!

Thanks again!
