    LG 42LW4500 distorted picture and bootloop

    Hi
    power rails seem ok.
    Added picture and video.

    Reseated all connectors, did a reflow of main cpu LGE1027DC.
    No change.
    Tcon or mainboard? Any ideas?

    might be panel, but it could be tcon as well. disconnect a ribbon cable that goes from the tcon to the panel and see how it effects the picture, then do the opposite side.

    does it effect the osd as well?

      if TCON to panel one ribbon disconnected - one half picture white the other stays the same (with defects). The same with the other ribbon.

      When i disconnect PL704 (41Pin LVDS Connector for FHD 120Hz)from main to tcon then picture shows the same defects but looks interleaved (white logo is striped).
      When i disconnect PL703 (51 pin LVDS Connector for FHD 60/120Hz) from main to tcon then picture stays black.

      OSD does not show up - reboot happens too fast.

        if the screen is the same with either side disconnected, then your panel should be ok.

        i missed the bit that said it was in bootloop. i would be looking at the main board then.
        not sure if i can be much more help on this one. have you tested the voltage regulators?

          Heat/cool small sections of mainboard to see if it will come on. Looks like some noise maybe cap or regulator going bad.
          I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

              In the end had to change the mainboard (bootloop disappeared) but the picture had different kind of vertical lines. After changing tcon - everything is fine.

                sucks that you had to change both boards, but great that it is working again.

                enjoy.
