Sharp LCD Turning itself On - Seen This?

[EastCoaster]

Quick question to the Crowd: my Sharp LC-37D4U (about 8 months old) on occasion turns itself on for no good reason (i.e., I'm not touching it). This happens only at night - so I wake up in the morning and see the TV is on. Is anyone familiar with this issue, its possible cause, and a potential fix? THANKS!

I remember hearing that the early Sony LCD models had the same issue. Sony replaced the faulty component for sets under warranty.

You should probably contact Sharp to report the problem and see if they are aware of it and have a fix.

Thanks MDS - I'm definitely contacting Sharp, but just want to try and get the skinny before they come over - just in case they don't know what the heck they're doing...

Sharp came out and did a firmware upgrade to the software - took five minutes, problem solved.
