    LG 42PX5D - no picture, replaced IPM

    Hi there, back for your advice once again.

    This one's an LG 42PX5D. Original fault was sound but no picture. Ysus fuse was blown and IPM shorted so I replaced the IPM. It was a pain but I wanted a challenge. Used the heat-gun method and got it off eventually.

    Now the TV comes on with a brief flash of static on the screen but then goes black with just a few random sparkles for a few moments. I can't detect any glow. Ysus and Zsus are buzzing faintly and fuses are holding. No shorts detected on either board nor the buffer board.

    Voltages:
    Va: 59V
    Vs: 186V
    Vsc: 119.8V
    Vy: -268V
    Vzbias: 99V
    V across large Ysus poly caps: 90.7V

    What do you think?

    Ah! I thought that Vy looked a bit high so just went back to re-test and the TV is working now with Vy at -200V. In between measuring the voltages and posting I had taken the boards out again to re-check my soldering and test the buffers but hadn't tried turning it on since then. Something must have not been quite seated properly the first time I put it back together.

    Sorry for wasting your time - nothing to see here! (couldn't find a delete option)

    Happy to have it working anyway!

      Your -Vy is much, much too high. Try setting it down, but if it is that high, buffer boards might have fried.

          Looks like I was 2 seconds behind. -Vy too high just means the image remains more or less erased continuously.

            There is one more issue with this TV I might need help with.

            When in standby there's a high pitched squeal coming from the power board. It goes away when the TV is on. I've attached pics. The second pic shows the rough area where I think the sound is coming from. The caps seem fine visually. What might be causing the noise?

              Update: After hunting around with a pen casing stuck in my ear, I *think* the squealing is coming from the smaller transformer at the bottom of the second pic. It's really hard to tell exactly though. Any ideas what might be making it sing? Would love to get this one wrapped up. It's working really nicely except for the annoying noise when it's off.

                Sometimes this noise is normal, with the case on, you should not hear it from viewing distance. But if it is abnormal, I would try applying varnish to that transformer.

                  I can hear it from upstairs! But maybe I have sensitive ears. I had heard that bad caps or diodes around the area could cause the frequency to lower into the audible range. I may try the varnish on the transformer though. Thanks for the suggestion.

                    T-con suspect issue. Both ribbon cables no picture. One ribbon cable ok. (58pus8545)
                    by Tr0ll
                    Hi guys! I realized you have a lot of knowledge here so i am hoping you could point me in right direction with my odd issue.

                    The Tv is a Philips 58PUS8545/12, it had no picture but working backlights.

                    Original T-con:
                    Opened the Tv and tested to unplug one ribbon cable at a time. With this test i could see that i got fine picture on both halves as long as there was only one ribbon cable connected, with two connected picture were gone.

                    First replacement T-con:

                    I thought it might be t-con and ordered new t-con from china(supposedly tested)...

                    SAMSUNG UN55KS9000F picture fades then distorts into vertical lines after 20 seconds
                    by JJAAMM
                    This was my main TV for the last 6 years. I'm not inclined to throw out a $2600 TV so quickly so I'm trying to investigate the issue.

                    Problem
                    TV was disconnected from power for 6 months during construction. When I plugged it yesterday picture was fine, after 30 seconds it dimmed then started developing horizontal lines, picture then starts to ghost vertically until it degrades into vertical streaks. TV always displays a perfect picture when cold. I can unplug TV for 5 minutes and plug it back in and picture is restored for 20 seconds. I can also keep it in standby mode...

                    Samsung TV model UE50TU: rebooting, backlight, sound, but no picture
                    by TR103
                    Hi, I have a Samsung UE50TU with:
                    - sound and backlight, but no picture
                    - when it arrived, it had a picture for a few seconds
                    - it keeps rebooting
                    - without ribbon cable between the two panel boards, it does not reboot but I have no picture
                    - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel, it does not reboot (but obviously i have no picture)
                    - when i try a tape fix, its keeps rebooting, unless I tape off pin 1 (the innermost pin). In that case it does not reboot but I have no picture.

                    - without cable between mainboard and lcd panel and with a jumpered...

                    Issue with picture quality of Sony bravia TV
                    by CyberPhoenix
                    Hello, Last week I bought the 50" Sony X80j tv everything was working fine, untill I plugged the tv in a ups power supply 650va the tv remote control became unresponsive and the TV became laggy after a while the picture quality isn't the same as before the tv seems less brighter and the picture is somehow blurry, people's faces don't look as natural as before, there is a mini orange-pink tint to the edge of people's faces especially in NETFLIX Dolby Vision like in One Piece ep1 Alvida skin tone, my intention was to protect the tv but something went wrong I checked the ups with a multimeter,...

                    55" TCL 55us57-wtlaa TV - No picture, backlight/sound work, T-Con board was replaced
                    by Sgj24
                    Hello all, I was given a 55" 2017 TCL Roku TV that has an issue of no picture, but the backlights and audio are in full operation. I did some digging and narrowed it down to a possibly bad T-Con board, I replaced it today with a unit I got off of Ebay but the issue is still there. I'm not good with electronic testing (multimeter, soldering, etc.) so I would appreciate any insight on the likely cause. Screen appears undamaged and the remote can still switch around settings (I've tried a hard reset). I assume it could be the video or power boards, but I also had a theory on it being the ribbon...
