    No picture or sound, tv turns on?

    I have a LG 37lb1da that turns on, but it shows no picture or makes any sound. When turning on the tv the [power button goes from blinking orange to solid white and stays on. the tv stays on and the lights behind the tv light up and the picture is blackish like the tv is about to show a picture but never does. I took the tv apart and i found 1 bulging 16v 1000uf on the power board but nothing else. I'm wondering if that bulging cap would be causing all this? Thanks in advance.

    P.S sorry for no pics.

    The cap could certainly cause this problem, I have a feeling the chassis is similar to 37LC2D which I repaired with the same failing cap causing lots of other problems. I still had a picture, but the sound was intemittent, and the TV would not turn on from the remote or side buttons - only when plugged in. It could also be a t-con fuse, but try the cap first. (Don't use Radioshack or Fry's caps, whatever you do.)

        They are Nichicon, good caps. Hope they are genuine - lots of fakes coming out of China.

        One thing I forgot to ask was did the TV suddenly die one day or just start taking longer and longer to show a picture before not showing one at all?

            Is the T-Con fuse the fuse on the power board that you can take out and replace? Or is it something i need to replace and solder? Thanks again.

              It's on the T-con board, which is the board under the metal shield at the top of the LCD panel. It is something you need to desolder to replace.

                  Most people who buy capacitors off ebay don't have the expertise to tell real from fakes and incorrectly give positive feedback.

                  When the capacitors fail 6 to 18 months later, they have no way of going back to ebay to give negative feedback or simply don't bother.

                  Since you live in the USA, you have access to many reputable suppliers like digikey, mouser, badcaps store, etc and are guaranteed to get real caps.

                      I have the same problem with my LG LCD tv, but there aren't any bulging caps. Any suggestions on how where to get started troubleshooting? Thanks.
