    LG42PJ350 - fuzzy band & on/off loop

    Hey all.

    Newbie here and as Green as the grass so go easy on me please

    Basically, as the title suggests my parents LG Plasma started behaving strangely whilst watching it and has since shown the typical symptoms that so many people write about.

    Without the aerial plugged in and the TV just plugged into the mains it goes through the usual on/off routine. However, unlike the situation of a blank screen or no picture (even with an aerial connected), ours displays a horizontal and pixelated White fuzzy band at the bottom 3rd of the screen, then shuts off.

    A very good friend of mine has advised me to purchase this kit:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-Power-R...item3f4ebe2742

    He's also offered to do the repairs as I have no soldering skills and all for a few beers. I have been warned though that this may not solve the issue and was told something about the Y-SUS being a potential culprit too and the reason for the white banding?

    Is that the TV attempting to fire up? I'm not sure but was hoping someone could confirm if any of the above is correct.

    Oh, before I get asked, yes I do realise that you need to do multimeter tests etc but said friend believes that just simply changing the parts over is quicker than fault finding and I'm much happier spending little money that way rather than buying a whole new power board if it is just the main board.

    The decision has been made that if this kit does not fix the problem, then we'll cut our losses and invest in a new TV.

    Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Yet another Samsung QLED Boot Loop
    by Takeatry
    Samsung QLED QN50Q — purchased 2022 started experiencing a delay in the picture coming on in the morning less than 2 years later. Did not know the term boot loop at that time. As the loop delay ran into a few minutes did all the recommended troubleshooting, soft and hard reset, changing cables and outlet locations, no help. As the delay increased contacted Samsung tech group and allow them remote access the tv. Tech was moving too fast to see exactly what he was doing but this ultimately it was also no help. Lived with the delay until it stretched out over 6 hours. Pulled of off the back cover...

    LG 49UJ6500 LCD panel lighter band that goes away
    by howardc64
    49UJ6500 LCD panel has a lighter band on top when first powered on. Goes away (or gets much fainter) after TV on for a few min. After powered off for awhile and power back on, same band appears. If powered on immediately after powering off, no or much fainter band. Running the latest firmware.

    Disassembled the TV and lifted the LCD panel during testing. Band is on the LCD panel (can see the band on the panel as I lift it slightly) Backlight is perfectly even at the top edge. Double checked LCD panel alignment in the frame and is perfect but since band moved with the panel, its on...

    Samsung UE49MU6105K - boot loop, horizontal lines
    by blaster_
    Less than a year out of warranty, samsung UE49MU6105K craps out, they've got this designed obsolescence down to an exact science of self destruct when out of warranty...

    Screen started to show horizontal lines and ghosted image at the bottom, then turned off by itself. Did software update, to no avail of the line problem, and got a boot loop after some minutes of watching TV. This boot loop will turn on the backlights for some seconds the sound comes on, the image will turn dark very fast and then it reboots again. Pressing power button will not put it on standby. Disconnecting...

    Lenovo Legion 5 (15ITH6H) kind of boot loop but not sure
    by Stefano Crivellari
    Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me fix my Lenovo Legion 5 (15ITH6H) laptop. Basically, after a windows update the computer would not boot anymore. When powering on the laptop the screen has no backlight and nothing would show up, using an external monitor did not help. However, the laptop would still spin up the fans and turn on the keyboard backlight. The keyboard backlight intensity function key would work and the power button led and the charging led are also working. I've tried every possible combination of key press and power button hold down time but did not change anything. At this point...

    HP gaming 15-0013dx quanta G3HA no video, screen polarize on and off loop
    by ferah831208
    I have an HP gaming 15-0013dx laptop , motherboard quanta G3HA with AMD Ryzen 5 cpu and Nvidia discrete grsphics card. The laptop turns on and u can see the screen polarizing on and off in a loop but no video signal. All voltages are ok measured and stable (I checked all with oscilloscope). This schematics don't have power sequence but I'm using a similar sequence from another laptop with AMD CPU and I get all to the point CPU must release apu_pwrok and apu_rst#, this signal comes valid only for the period of time the screen is polarized and they disappear and same loop behaviour (active/inactive)....
