Hi. I want to repair this issue myself. If i cannot, then I will be happy to buy a new TV. Not. LOL...
Can any of you awesome techs please help? I need to know what to do, what parts to buy, and instruction on how to repair?
Problem:
The TV will not turn on, or if it comes on, it will turn off and then try to turn itself back on and off. I might get the LG splash screen for a second, then black again. The red light on the bottom does not turn blue at all like it is supposed to.
This tv is 2 years old. I did the normal troubleshooting like hard reset, unplugged and waited, plugged directly into wall socket, checked remote, etc.
From my research online, it appears this is a common issue with this model.
From lg.com answers: "It is difficult to determine the cause of this symptom, but it seems like there could be a failing of the power supply or main board."
and one more answer from the LG board:
The problem could range from a thermal or vibration intermittent solder connection on the TV's main board or a poorly sheilded device connected to the TV (I have none other than the uVerse box). You may need to take the TV to an authorized servicer to have more elaborate testing performed in the shop, such as thermal and applied voltage stress testing. One other possibility might be fluctuating line voltage or arcing in the wall outlet that provides power to the TV (this apartment is brand new, unlikely to have wall outlet power issues). It could be that there is a problem that the TV's internal power supply protection system is sensing, and it is shutting the TV down to protect it, or that the shut-down circuit is working overtime. Again, contact an authorized servicer.
Any recommendations and help would be most appreciated. I miss my tv.
Thanks all.
