    LG 50PA4500 Won't Respond

    So I have an LG 50PA4500 that won't respond to anything. Has a continuous backlight when plugged in. No sound, no picture, no response, nothing. A year or two back we had a bad storm that blew out the input board due to improper grounding on my Satellite dish. I changed the board, and it worked great since then. About 2 months ago we had another bad storm, while I was out of town, that turned the TV like it is now. No sound, no picture, no response, and continuous backlight when plugged in. I did the logic board test sequence and it tested good. So I replaced the logic board. For the first 20 minutes TV seemed to work fine but wouldn't show any input. It would recognize that I had plugged in a new input but would show no signal on that input. While trying to troubleshoot the input, I stepped out of the room and came back to the TV back to the way it was. No sound, no picture, no response, nothing. Wouldn't respond to any inputs...Any help here? I'm about to give up on this TV, but really don't want to pay the money for a new one. I'm lost.

      If you had a storm and the tv stopped working after the storm, it sounds like you may need a new main board.
      On your logic board, you will have the words EXT_AUTO_GEN they will be written under 2 test points. Go ahead and short those test points with a wire to triger the test pattern on your tv. You will want to have everything inside the tv plugged in normally aside from the large connector going from the power supply to the main board and also disconnect the large ribbon cable from the main board to the logic board. Once you have done that go ahead and plug in your tv to the power. You should see the set turn on and go to a color pattern mode. If you do then you have just confirmed you have a bad main again.

        Thanks, I haven't retested this. I plan on it, but I'm 99% sure it will result in bad main again. What I'm asking is why it went bad again within 20 minutes of connecting it up and why did I get no input signal?

            It may have been a bad board to begin with.

              But it held up for 20 minutes. Is the no input detection a possibility of a bad main board as well? If not is the input only processed on the input board.

                Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                by Tynan Dill
                I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                Assuming...

                TCL 55S425 few horizontal lines, potential failure on both side of panel/buffer board
                by howardc64
                All left and right refers to looking from rear of TV (or looking from front with TV upside down)
                • TV came with vertical bars and no image. Found faulty TVS on left buffer board. Also replaced T-Con (may have damaged the original while hot air removing components, board has slight warp) and have full image but few horizontal lines on the screen. Some of the lines appears to be 2 pixel tall while others are 1 pixel tall.
                • Disconnecting left and right buffer board potentially reveals problems on both sides with different signals (unless this T-Con require jumper like Samsung FB_TRDY1&3) Fault

                Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                Problem

                This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
                by Hakuu
                Hi There,

                This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                More Details

                TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

                Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...
