    42LG5000-ZA getting dark after 10 minutes

    Hi,

    my 42LG5000 TV suddenly started getting very dark, as if I would turn down the backlight in the menu, but even darker than it would be on the lowest level.

    This happens about 10 minutes after switching the TV on. The first 10 minutes the picture quality is as I'm used to.

    I've already opened the device checking for obvious bad parts, but haven't seen any.

    Some pictures of T-Con board, backlight inverter (master + slave) and the whole device are attached.

    Hope somebody can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks in advance!

    Flo

        In this case it is possible to have insulation problem at CCFL PCB.

          Can't see there being an issue with insulation TBH

          Ok couple of tests

          First can you attach the TV to a PC or similar and use something like notepad to produce a completely white screen... Have a look for any darker areas when it faults.

          Secondly can you get a hairdryer and heat up a board at a time to see if the fault occurs quicker, Start with the Tcon then the Main

            The Picture "1.jpg" show the white screen when the TV is switched on, then after about 6 minutes it starts getting those vertical lines with flickering horizontal ones, as can be seen on picture "2.jpg".

            I tried with the hair dryer, it's definitely the T-Con when getting hot, the error can be seen after 1-2 minutes of heating it up. Hair dryer on the main board didn't show that effect.

            Thanks again!

                    Yeah AS15 fault.

                    Got a couple of those Tcons here that had failed AS15... One the usual lighter screen and one with a darker screen
