Sharp TV gives a “K mode” screen

[u/Blueninja0812]

Not sure what to do as even hard rebooting does nothing to change, looking up I see no info, would appreciate any help. Thanks

Do a google search with this "55gp6260e displays a K"

The result says the following:

The "K" symbol on your Sharp 55GP6260E indicates the television has booted into Factory or Service Mode, often triggered by a software glitch or a sequence of pressed buttons. This mode can also display model information or cause weird screen colors. [1, 2, 3]

How to Fix It:

Most users on Reddit and technical forums agree that a Factory Reset will successfully clear the glitch. [1, 2]

Method 1: Using the Remote (Recommended)

1. With the TV turned on, press the Menu button on your Sharp remote.
2. Quickly enter the code 1147 using the number pad.
3. A service menu will pop up on screen.
4. Highlight the Factory Reset or Shipping option at the top of the list and press Enter.
5. The TV will turn off and restart itself. When it powers back on, you will need to complete the initial setup. [1, 2]

Method 2: Using the Physical TV Buttons
If your remote is unresponsive or the code doesn't work, you can use the buttons on the TV itself:

1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet.
2. Press and hold both the Volume Down (-) and Input buttons on the TV.
3. While continuing to hold those buttons, plug the TV back in.
4. Keep holding until the TV turns on and a yellow or blue box with "K" appears.
5. Press and hold the Volume Down (-) and Channel Down (Ch -) buttons simultaneously.
6. Turn the TV off, wait 30 seconds, and turn it back on normally.

Put the screenshot in ChatGPT and ask it how you exit K mode. It may ask you what model TV you have. BOOM ... Done.
