    LG 47LG20 TV has no video and no sound

    This is my first post and hoping to find some help here. When powering on the TV, the power light takes a few seconds to come on and also to turn off. When turning it on, the green power light stays on but there is no sound and no image. I've tried turning off the lights and using a flashlight to see if it might be the inverter board but there is not even a faint/dim image on the LCD. Almost all of the capacitors have been replaced on the power supply board. The ones that were not replaced were tested with an ESR meter and the capacitance looks fine, as well as the ESR.

    I'm hoping the LCD itself isn't bad. Can someone help me out with diagnosing this problem?

    Does the screen glow at all? Unlikely to be the actual LCD, sounds like inverter board problem.

      I do not get any glow when the TV is on and I turn off all the room lights.

        No flash at all when turned on?

        Do you have a multimeter?

        Take some pictures of the power supply (it's the big board which the mains power connects to.)

            A2442 - No sound over internal speakers and no video playback
            by soeren
            I am facing a strange issue, I don't have any sound over my internal MacBook speakers and also the video won't start. If I change to my head speaker or via HDMI (speaker on my external Display) the sound works over the head speaker or Display and also the video starts (ex. youtube).

            All happened after the battery ran out of power overall several days when I was on vacation.

            I tried to remove the battery and then reconnected the battery, and then the MacBook Pro 14 2021 won't accept any power from my power socket. Then I removed one speaker, connected again the battery...

            Audio video receiver KENWood KR-V990D,no sound
            by JRade
            When I select the FM receiver, I find a radio station, the sound is heard on REC OUT(L,R), REC TAPE1(L,R),REC TAPE2(L,R) on high-ohm headphones, the sound regulation does not work.
            The output reacts when I connect the record player to PRE OUT FRONT L, the sound is heard in the speaker but the sound regulation does not work. Then it does not matter what I chose on the front selector.
            I replaced the capacitor C303/0.047F, nothing changes.
            I'm asking for help, what should I do next?
            Thanks in advance!...

            Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
            by FrancescoV
            Good morning everyone,
            I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

            The firmware reported is the following:
            M:1.00/11107BLP
            D:?.??/????????
            O:1.00/11107AL

            The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

            On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

            Hi, my TV image started showing those lines and the image faded away, but sound is still coming from it, what could be the cause and is it fixable? I thought it could be the tcon board but I red on the internet that it could be a failing panel
