I cant get my tv to get the regular cable
If your TV has a menu button, go into the menu and try setting the input of the TV to the jack that you connected your cable to. Sometimes the TV will not check all the inputs and just does the default one when you do the auto-tune search function to find the active channels. Also, check to see that your wall receptacle is actually hooked into your active cable TV line. You should have a splitter somewhere in the same line that your other TV is using. If not, that jack that you are hooking up your new TV to is probably not active.

In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.
Before going further; try a hard reset first. If it does not help you, replace the main digital board. There are two methods to reset TVs. The first is simple to do; a Hard Reset. The other is somewhat skilled; is a Factory Reset (System Reset). To make it a hard reset, just unplug the TV from AC mains wall socket, and re-plug it back after 15 minutes or so. If you do this by overnight is better. This procedure will make it a hard reset. If you want to make it a system reset [Factory Reset]; you have to enter its service mode option, and select the factory reset option. If you wish to get some details; visit the site linked here.

Hi leprecoce,
One transistor out of millions has failed shorted. That is an unusual failure mode, but not unheard of. The chip can probably be replaced, you might want to check google maps or
http://tvrepair.com for a repair shop near you.
Most shops should be able to give you an estimate, I would guess around $300, unless the chip is hard to get.
Attempted flash update on a Sharp Aquos
Unplug the power and leave it unplugged for a few minutes.
Then press and hold the buttons on the TV while another person plugs it in. Hold the buttons down for 30 seconds, or until the set beeps.
It is possible that the flash update was not successful for some reason, in which case the set may have to be returned to the factory, or a factory service center to be reflashed properly.
Please post here to let me know if this helped.
Wireless adapter found..
Record model number and google sharp software upgrades. You may not even need to load it , but it always solves my problems as you describe as yours. Good Luck
