Faulty Flat Screen TV's


I bought a Sharp flat screen 15" television about a month ago. The other day I unplugged it and moved to another location on the other side of the room. When I plugged it back in the picture was backwards. You know, horizontally flipped as if I was looking at the screen through a mirror. I haven't called customer service yet. Anyone know what happened and how it can be fixed?

Just watch it through a mirror. Hope it's not a common problem I've got a 15" LCD Sharp.

It's the weirdest thing. I'm temporarily back to my old 17" 1991 model television that I couldn't wait to get rid of. I'm gonna contact Sharp tomorrow see what they can for me.

The plug is powered by the other phase. Run a drop cord.

Another thought, mine can also be used as a computer monitor (came with cable) and I can rotate the view (without rotating the tv), anyhow mine has a reset that restores everything back to the factory settings. See if there's a reset and give it a try.
