    lg 47le5400 powers up, black screen, no sound

    I have a lg 47le5400, it acts like it is powering on. when pressing the power button it lights up and all the other button leds come on. I get nothing but a black screen and i get no sound at all. The picture i am adding to this post is the readings from the connector between the power board and the mainboard. I have looked all over the net and i can not find a service manual. one site says it has it but i dont know if the website is legit (servicemanual.pro). Any ideas on what to look for on this make and model.

      With flashlight do you see image on screen?

        No image on the screen when using flashlight. Forgot to add that to the post above.

            Main Bd problem. Since the power LED comes on, etc.

              That is what I was thinking. I'm trying to narrow it down to the component level. I've been unable to find a service manual for the TV to trace the problem.

                If you unplug cable to main board and jumper pwron and drvon to your 3.5v do you get backlights?

                    Before doing something like baking the board, I've got a similar one that is from an LN5400 that comes to life temporarily if I chill these parts. There are some funny waveforms around the power detect circuit keeping the CPU off line (note: schematic will be not quite the same but very similar). Am investigating it further right now.

                    Does yours change if you chill this area?

                      I have 4 sets a 42LE5400, 2each 47LE5400 and a 55LE5400 all are dead (some power the led and backlights work when jumped. All these have a BGA processor under a large heat sink and "cooking" the main does get them to run for a short while. All the used boards and repairs offered are "cooking the board" nobody is reballing them! to complicated and expensive! the LN series has a smaller processor that seems to last.

                          Do you briefly get any voltage on drvon pin at power up?

                            I removed both heatsinks off the main board and used foil tape to tape around the chips and on the underside of the board. soaked both chips with liquid flux and heated chips with a hot air gun for a while and put board back in tv. TV now works.

                              Thanks cherokee.warrior for your tip. I did not have any foil tape handy but I did everything else you said and it fixed my tv too.

                                These guys over here don't do reflows but instead the actual reball work.
                                1 year warranty on the repair as well. When the boards fail in the next few weeks to few months, this will be a good long term solution.

                                  Got LG 47LE5400 with the same symptoms: black screen, no picture. The voltages on the cable that supplies power on the main board (there is a table on the white power supply board with voltages and pins) are as expected. I also tried to put 3.5V on PWR_ON and DRV_ON on unplugged cable and got the TV turning on but no backlight.

                                  Ended up heating two BGA chips that are under heatsinks (preheat the whole board for around 100C for 10 min, put flux around chips, heated the chip on 320C for 5-6min, then got down to 200C for 2 min, then for 100C for 2min) and the TV started working. I removed thermal stickers that were put between chips and heatsinks (the one that was on the chip near the R&L LCD cable sockets degraded due to the high temp or time) and put thermal paste, it should increase the thermal contact.

                                  Will see how long the TV will last.

                                      Check all the pins on the connector going from powersupply board to mainboard with multimeter, report all voltages, check in standby which is plugged in turned off, then turn on tv, make note of both conditions. Something like pin 1 ps-on 0v off and 5 v powered on, theres a video how to in the second link there in my signature below.

                                        In PowerOn mode all voltages seem to be OK except PowerOn voltage (pin 1) which is 3.23V instead of 20V (as written on the board).
                                        In StandBy mode there is only 3.4 V on 2 pins (pin5,6), all others are 0V.

                                          I have a 60 inch Samsung UN60EH6000F flatscreen TV. The screen went black a few months ago Sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. I replaced the TCon board with a used board purchased from Ebay. It worked fine for a 3-4 months, then the screen started ‘fading' back. Once again, sound is good, backlight is good, no menu. However, this time the picture looks fine for about 10-15 minutes, then fades back. If I power cycle the TV, the display reappears, for another 10-15 minutes, then fades black again. Repeatable ever time.

                                          I ordered a supposedly ‘new' Tcon board this time, and

                                          I have a 2019 75" x950g, and while playing a movie, the screen suddenly went dark in a weird way, where it faded towards one corner into being fully black. Now the TV turns on, and the backlight comes on, but there is nothing displayed except black. Sound still comes through the TV speakers, and i have tried doing a hard reset using the volume - and power buttons while plugging the display back in, but it did not fix it. I can confirm that pressing buttons on my remote is still doing "something" because I'm hearing sound still, even though the screen is black.

                                          Hello,

                                          YouTube video of the problem encountered: https://youtube.com/shorts/q7TLNv36LUo

                                          I am a pro and I have a problem that I have never seen despite my 7.5 years of experience on my own and my thousands of repairs, on a customer's Dell G3 15 3500.

                                          On this PC I have already changed the complete palmrest because the keyboard was no longer working properly.

                                          I also changed the screen because the PC fell and the screen was broken.

                                          I changed the battery with a new and original battery.

                                          I also had corrosion/oxidation on the...

                                          Good morning.
                                          I have a problem with my LG Smart 43UF640V TV. It starts, the backlight comes on but nothing is displayed on the screen and there is no sound.
                                          I thought it was a TCon problem and ran various tests. If I disconnect one or the other of the cables from the tcon to the panel then the screen is white on the side where the cable is disconnected and black on the other side. If the two cables are disconnected the screen is completely black.
                                          In the 4 configurations I measure exactly the same voltages on the tcon card (model V15 43UHD TM120 Ver0.4) :

                                          Hello Everyone,

                                          This is my first post so I will try to be as precise as possible without making this post too long winded. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the original problem but I included images of the TV internals.

                                          I have a Sharp 70LE660U. The problem started a few months ago with the bottom row looking out of sync and was dark on the left side and then fading to transparent on the right side. Shortly after, a dark cloud appeared in the center of the screen. The dark cloud started small and shaded but the image was visible. It also affected the menu area....
