      Could be Inverter or Backlights issue, I am guessing. You would have to measure some voltages for us to diagnose better.

        sound like Welding

            I suspect on NAND flash chip,had this problem with samsung TV turning off

              there are a few threads where these inverters have failed the noise you are hearing maybe is the winding shorting out on that transformer dissconecting them may not prove nothing as the set will detect a error as there not connected

                I observed that the Primary side of the Inverter transformers soldering looks disturbed. My gut feeling is that one of these transforms, if not both, are the culprits. Take resistance readings across the pins of each transformer and compare if they match.

                  I have same resistance readings from Master and Slave inverter boards.

                  tranformers are L2-CF47SS

                      I doubt if all transformers would go bad in the same way. You say you got same reading on Master and Slave Inverter boards. I would like to think you unsoldered the transformers and tested them out of circuit to get a 'true' reading.

                        Have you refreshed all the solder joints around those transformers?

                          All these LG infinia tv's ( 8500 series ) have bad mainboards. You won't find a replacement unit cheap because its a common problem for these sets. Cheapest will be around 250/300 USD.

                          The problem is bad BGA solder under the cpu , reflow the cpu and you will see it stays on for a longer while. Do NOT bake the mainboard in the oven , there are also small components on the bottom of these boards that will fall off.

                          These sets also have bad HDMI chips.
                          I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

                                ok I found complete master/slave inverter boards,main board,power board and t-con board for 35 euro in my country,I will post results when boards come

                                I think that is problem with transformer on inverter master board,will post tranformer sound video..

                                    Think you have mouse in your panel. If you turn off lights and try do you see any arcing or smell ozone?
                                    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

                                      It sounds and looks the arcing in the panel. Try looking at it again in the dark room.

                                        sound is going from transformer on master invertor board,and smell.

                                          I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.

                                          For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

                                          It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

                                          Normally, I never post repairs this quick after I do them, because… I am usually very slow. But today, I’m making an exception here. Why? No idea. Perhaps only because the repair details are still “fresh” in my head… which is ironic, given this is a 16 year old monitor that hardly anyone will care about today. It is new to me, though. I picked it up last November from someone on my local Craigslist. It wasn’t very close to where I live, but was close to a family friend that I had to go visit anyways. So after watching the posting on Craigslist for a few weeks and seeing it getting...

                                          Hello,

                                          First, I am a complete noob with high voltage stuff. I'm learning, but I need help by someone looking over my shoulder.

                                          I recently came into posession of a Heathkit IO-4205 5MHz Dual Trace Oscilloscope. The documentation is copyright 1978. I'm told it works.

                                          I opened it up to check the caps before I applied power, and found the following black caps and wanted to know what they were. They are on the power supply board. I was able to read the name and model and came up with, "Nytronics 162J-1, 0.1uF, 20% tolerance, 2000VDC."
                                          ...

                                          Identifying caps on an old Zoom 9000

                                          Hello!

                                          I have two projects on my work bench. One is a friends dead JBL Xtreme speaker with a blown voltage regulator and corresponding bulged and shorted cap. That cap has clear markings so I know what replacement I need for it.

                                          The other project however is a whole different deal. It's a Zoom 9000 guitar effect from the 90th that has developed a devil hound howl when there is no input from the guitar. I'm guessing caps problem. So, since I don't really use this effect anymore I thought it would be a perfect project to learn on.

                                          I have studied the board and...

                                          Help with switching power supply caps
                                          by captain150
                                          I'm trying to repair two old VCRs, they both have bad caps. One has leaky ones, the other would barely run until I subbed in some caps from another power supply I had laying around (though they are the wrong values). This vcr works for an hour or two, but then the power supply starts whining and the picture gets lines in it. I didn't replace all the secondary caps, so another voltage might still be problematic, or the values I used are too far off.
                                          I've been on mouser and digikey but the options are a bit overwhelming. I just need some new ones that will work. They don't need to be top quality,...
