    LG 47LF66 - Backlight on then off!

    I have an LG 47LF66 TV with a problem

    The symptoms are:

    When you turn the TV on, sometimes everything works well
    If you then turn it off and back on again, the picture does not come back. Instead you get a flash of coloured vertical lines and then nothing (sometimes a picture that looks like interference)

    Now, the TV wont come back on at all. The backlight flashes on for a split second and then goes off. Sometimes, unplugging for a while and then reseating the connectors will make the TV work again but then it just goes back to the problem loop above


    Has anyone experienced this problem? I have tried replacing the TCON board which hasnt made a difference. The power board all looks good (no blown caps or obvious blown components).

    The TV works fine as long as it stays turned on. The issue only arises when its turned off and then back on!

    Any suggestions gratefully received!

    Check the LVDS signal from the main board when the fault occurs with an oscilloscope and turn the menu on/off all the time and see if the signal changes. Check the PSon and the BLon signal from the main board to the PSU too. Then you know the condition of your main board. Also you might have to check the backlight inverter. Hope that helps.

      this tv is throwing me for a loop. do samsung tvs no longer have the backlight self test feature built into the power supply?
      i tested the backlight with my LED tester and it lights up both strips. one of them reads 100v and the other reads 63.7v.
      unplugged mainboard from power supply but left backlight plugged in, and then plugged psu wall power in. expected to see backlights light up but see nothing.
      according to how ive diagnosed in the past, this would almost always be a bad power supply. replacement power supply was cheap like 20$ from ebay. but still i get not even...

      Gigabyte Aero 15 GA-RP65W no backlight, blown MOSFET
      by kalemaroni
      The hinge broke on this laptop and caused damage to the LCD cable. Replacement screen and cable produced no backlight. Upon board inspection discovered blown MOSFET as shown in pic.

      The MOSFET and spec is P6402FMG/SOT23/950pF/64m https://datasheet4u.com/datasheet-pd...php?id=1093860

      No Backlight Macbook A1990 820-01041
      by Comp_Pro
      Hello all,

      Am trying to figure out this backlight issue with this A1990 Macbook Pro.

      Tests performed:

      There is no backlight even with a good screen.
      Backlight IC is receiving the correct support voltages.
      Fuse F8400 ok
      Current sense resistor R8400 ok
      Backlight IC is receiving 3.3V on enable pin.
      Backlight IC receiving voltage from PPBUS_G3H, aprox 12.5V.
      Backlight IC receiving 5V from PP5V_G3S
      Backlight IC BKLT_SCL and BKLT_SDA both measure 0.545V diode mode to ground
      I2C_BKLT_SCL and I2C_BKLT_SDA both measure...

      LG Flatron 24EN33TA No Backlight When Cold
      by canadaboy25
      Hi all,

      I've got an LG Flatron 24EN33TA with a backlight issue. The problem began with the monitor not powering up after sitting for a long time (overnight or during the day throughout work). When I would wake the computer up, the backlight would flick on for a second then go out. Sometimes it would take many tries to get it to come on. Once the monitor came on, it worked flawlessly until another long duration of being powered off.

      I thought the problem would be bad caps but I checked both of the caps on the board and they are fine. I also tried powering the monitor from...
