LE650U TV backlight seems to have died but still opens service menu
So, I got this LE650U TV. And whenever I power it normally it loads the SHARP screen briefly at full brightness. Dies out and then shows the SHARP screen again. Dies out and shows nothing then goes to a blinking light, one fast one slow. Saw that you could go into service mode with holding the “INPUT” and “VOL DOWN” button, then switching to the “CH DOWN” and the “VOL DOWN” button. It enters into that mode fine, just impossible to read, tried doing
“lamp error reset” toggled on
“Reset” toggled on
“Industry unit” toggled on
I get a green screen but when I unplug and turn on it goes back to same error code. Anybody have any ideas before it gets a backlight replaced? I can get specific lamp error codes or anything else needed off that service menu if wanted. Thank you in advance.
Edit: Videos replicating issue.
Booting:
Service Menu:
Это хороший вопрос?
@cub73 why is it impossible to read in the service menu? Where do you get a green screen and is that fully illuminated?

@oldturkey03 By impossible to read, I mean like the brightness is so low that you can barely tell it’s on unless all the lights in the room are off. I tried getting the service menu 5 times before I realized it was coming up just not illuminated and I wasn’t seeing it. Same thing with the green screen confirmation. The only thing that I can see properly as it should is the red “SHARP” screen that shows up and I can read that clear as normal. I will get a video and post it here shortly.
Edit: I get the green screen after toggling those three values then hitting enter on the remote.
