    Re: 37LH5000 Switches itself off

    Could it be bad caps on the inverter board, although they do look ok

      Those can be tested if the BRI signal is found to be solid. If the BRI is varying there is no point in testing them because they would not be causing the fault. One test at a time, eliminate one component after another.

          Re: 37LH5000 Switches itself off

          Ok tom, update:

          At standby i get 0.06
          Then switch on values from bright to off is:

          3.24 then
          1.71 then
          a range from 0.70 - 1.00

          It goes through each stage quite quick so this is the rough values i get. Are these in normal limits? whats next to try?

            It should stay at one value, something on the main board is bad.

              that plug goes to the main board though dosent it, would the fault be coming from the power supply to the main board or coming from it? if that makes sense lol

                That was the brightness pin that i tested so in theory it would drop in voltage as it gets dimmer i would have thought?

                  The signal is from the main board to the inverter or power supply, a lower voltage indicates the backlight is requested to be dimmer. (0V=10% bright (min), 3V=100% bright)

                    ok so whats next to test? and why would it be requested to be dimmer?

                      I am thinking the software on the main board is bad, perhaps try applying a firmware update.

                          I don't know, but there should be instructions on the LG website.

                            Ok ive just tried that, put the update onto usb and put it in, but it doesnt give you enough time to do anything as it turns off after the 3 stages of dimness

                                no because after the 3rd time it then powers off.

                                  Hmm. OK.
                                  Try pressing MENU on the remote and MENU on the TV. Hold both for 10 seconds. What do you see? If it prompts for a password, enter "0000" or "1234".

                                    ive just tried that, just get the menu boxes up...the tv prob stays on for 10 secs or so while it does the 3 stages then powers off so doesnt give time to do anything.

                                      All I can suggest is main board replacement then.
                                      Looks like it's around £25~£30

                                          Well its not the main board, got a replacement today and its still doing it. Could it be a bad TCON board or the inverter?
