    LG 55LE5500 with main board EBU60904803

    I'm hoping someone came across this issue.. I have an LG 55LE5500, that all of a sudden went blank (backlight is on, but no picture), audio is ok all other controls seem to be working. When you look at the screen you can almost tell there is a divide (though not a vertical line) between left and right.

    The main board on this unit is both controller and Tcon in one, expensive and not available. Reseating cables, didn't improve things. Voltages on the connector to / From Power board are all within spec +/- 1 or 2 %

    Is it worth pursuing sending the main board for repair? or is there a way to find out if it's a bad panel?
    Thanks

      So, I sent board to PTS Electronics for repair.. they said they can't find a problem with the board and they ran it overnight, and it's working fine on their set (I'm assuming - they just said they can't find a problem)

      Does this suggest I have a bad panel? I'm taking the panel apart and I'm doing spot checking on the LVDS Panel connector / board (Bottom Left) and I'm finding many caps that are shorted.. These are ceramic caps.. either they're shorted, or the panel is.. no way to know without removing them. Anyone know where I can find a schematic for these boards?

          Are you sure the blights are actually on? this model and similar are well known for the back lights failing and causing your issue.

          I have the next model above this, the leds failed not once but twice 4 months apart. Lg eventually released firmware that "fixed" this issue but now i sit on a tv that no leds are available for because the use market does not have a single set that works.

              Hi JeffJ, yes, the backlight is on - I agree with you, when I bought it, I thought it was a quick edge light strip repair like the ones I've seen before .. but that's not the case unfortunately.

                  Just a quick update.. I know this is something rare, but it turned out there is a ceramic capacitor (10 uF) on the panel boards (the skinny boards that the LVDS cables from Tcon / Main card connect to) that was shorted.

                  Replacing that, took care of the problem.
                  Thanks

                          Great job finding the cause of the problem.
                          If you can post the picture of the bad cap that will help other people as well.

                                      LG 55NANO77SRA TV ā€“ Menu scrolling by itself even after removing button board (Main Board EBU66792103)

                                      Hi everyone,




                                      Iā€™m looking for help with a persistent issue on an LG TV model 55NANO77SRA, which uses the main board EBU66792103 (also used in LG UQ80 and NANO75/NANO80 series).







                                      šŸ§© Problem Summary:
                                      • The TV keeps scrolling through the menu or selecting items by itself.
                                      • I removed the physical button board (the entire panel with power and volume buttons) and also disconnected the flat cable (CN202) from the main board.
                                      • The remote control is not in use (batteries removed), and the TV still shows the same behavior.

                                      Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                                      Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:

                                      Short answer: replace main board and power board
                                      Technical answer: replace main board and Q306 & Q307 on power board.

                                      Long answer:

                                      TV wouldn't turn on. Power switch was fine which means the main board isn't processing the power on signal. Replaced main board. TV turns on now but randomly reboots. Bad main board? EEPROM? Tried to pull main board and got a shock touching the corner of the board. That's weird. C334 (450V 10uf) capacitor is still holding a high charge....
