Lg 50pg20

[Same]

I got this LG 50PG20 from someone who said, it did work then just shut off. Claimed to have taken it in and was told it had a bad board, don't know which one. I cannot verify if this unit has pic or sound. There is power, frt led lights red>3 blue flashes>solid red (standby I guess), responds to remote. There is no click of any relays when powered and nothing gets hot. Not sure if I am doing it right, but don't get much of any readings from VS or VA anywhere, no fuses are blown. Pulled upper and lower buffers and nothing changed on the screen. need advise on proper testing on/off & placement of probes

Any help appreciated,
Sam

Re: Lg 50pg20

Well after further review, my brother and I found 4 transistors(Trans) have been replaced on the bottom right heat sink(HS) which appear to be bad and the top trans on the left HS(is bad), bottom Trans on the next HS, & top and bottom Trans on middle HS have been replaced.
I ordered the ShopJimmy repair kit before we found the add'l 4 bad Trans.
It appears that this thing was repaired at least once before from the signs of the heat transfer paste, the repair kit will not cover all bad components.
What do the 4 replaced Trans control?
I'm thinking of buying a new board (EAY41360901) from Sears for $135.00 W/10% off as there is too much to replace and all should be good.

Thanks,

Boy I like talking to myself
ShopJimmy won't take the kit back, the package hasn't even been opened I feel that they should due to this. I could understand if it was opened.
So be sure when you order things from them. I offered them the old board for stock for free, but they wouldn't take it.
Anybody need a repair kit for cheap?

Hello, you are not alone. Any luck? I just got one of these broken TV's yesterday.

2 questions, 1) How did you determine that the other 4 transistors needed replacing? 2) I see the ShopJimmy kit comes with 4 transistors now, did your's not come with that?

Re: Lg 50pg20

The kit comes with quite a lot. If I did it right, both sides go OL on the meter
