LC-32d40U Sharp Aquos Screen shows "please...

Question

We just turned on our 32" wall mounted Sharp Aquos and the screen came up with a "please wait message" The set froze, it would not respond to the remote or to the set mounted controls. We powered it down for about ten minutes and tried again and the same thing occured. I have noted from some of the blogs that this has been an issue with Sharp LCD's. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some insight as to the possible cause and solution
