Re: LG 47LN5790 badly burnt out LEDs

Hey why not contact them Bud, we have enough evidence here to wipe the floor with Lg and any other one. They know and stated it would be a fucking issue if the Leds are pushed to that level, and well now we can clearly see its affect.

Also most sets are failed just after a year, when the "warranty" runs out seems way too unfair and deliberate.

Thought I would add to this thread. I just got a 55LN5790 in yesterday (salvage TV so it had already been trashed). It would flash briefly at startup then the LEDs shut down. Anyway, I opened it up to find a similar failure to what budm posted here. The diffuser was so badly damaged, that changing the LEDs wouldn't have even been an option.

Can you post images of the damage please ? We need the images as more evidence.

I didn't even think about taking pictures at the time. Just saw this thread and it made me think of it. It was very similar to what budm posted to start the thread though. Catastrophic failure. I imagine it created quite the smoke cloud when it happened. Anyway, the remainder of the TV already got hauled off this morning.

Here's the tag off the back. Same series. Manufactured 2 months after the one budm posted.

Hmm, not very good at all Lg.

New Optics Panel in the 55". Assuming the 47" was as well.
