Can you ever have enough broken TV's ??????

My wife would say "Yes!"

Now I've got the 52" wall-mounted in my wife's sewing room and the 46" parted out, I'm down to 2 in our family room now from 4 (including the one mounted for our primary viewing), and she still thinks that's one too many.

There are repair kits on eBay about £25 which is a good price considering all the parts involved, in most cases it's just those three transistors and some resistors that fail.

Thanks for the info- thowever the kits I have come across include a 1 ohm smd resistior , 2 resistors , a zd and three mosfets etc.

I would have thought there woud be a different kit when the main fuse is blown on the z sus?

Those components failing do usually blow the fuse, feel free to check which, ifany, are failed. in my case I got lucky and the fuse was not blown and it was only two FETs + two resistors bad. Sometimes it can be a lot more parts.

Got some fuses. Fired it up and I get a red picture, just as expected. (Z-sustain unplugged.) Great! I just need to repair the Z-sustain and it'll be perfect. No stuck lines on panel.

Hi,
I have the same model lg,When I plug in the tv with the Z-Sustain unplugged I get just a white dimmable flash and black screen after (sound ok)
Do you think is the y-sustain be faulty ?could not found any shorted mosfets .
Thanks
