    LG Main board

    Hi
    I'm pretty sure my main board is faulty as I can't get any free view channels
    I've tried a factory reset but it didn't solve the problem.
    My TV is 42LW551c-ze (this is a Hotel TV)

    Main board is - EBT61514204

    EAX64294002(1) 11.03.28 KDU

    When I do a search I get very few results for this TV, either they don't break
    or people just dump them.

    Any body out there know were I can source a replacement main board, or is there a fix, the TV is still being used through a set top box so it's not a real problem but I would like to get it working properly.

    Free view may be locked out in hotel mode
    I assume no responsibility for any stupid suggestions I might post.

          Hi dskall

          Thanks for taking the time to try and help me, I'm not sure I know what you
          mean, is it some thing to do with flashing the Eeprom, if so no and I would definitely need some help on that.

            No , you need to search for the firmware for this specific model. Normally you can find it on the LG website , download it , save it on USB and apply it via the system settings/menu etc.

            Same as on your mobile phone when it searches for updates.....
            I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

              Having checked I have the latest Firmware so that's not the problem, thanks

                check the solder joints on the tuner. they can break free sometimes.

                when you run a channel scan, do you get any static flicker when it almost picks up a station, or is there nothing at all?
                WHY CAN'T PHILIPS USE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS?

                  Did you get into the service menu rather than the usual set menu?

                    Hi
                    When I do a channel scan it goes to 50% then finishes there is no flicker nothing happens, and it's the set menu I think as I'm not sure about the service Menu and how to get into it.

                      Depending on model there are a few ways to access service menu just do a Google on it, also other hotel menu password 1507 I think. In other makes I know hotel mode can be switched on or off in service menu.

                        Tried service menu and every thing in there is OK, So unless I can find a bad solder joint on the Tuner it looks like it's the Main board. Unfortunately
                        they are very hard to come by.

                          when you was in the service menu did you try a factory reset if not it maybe worth trying

                              worst case scenario, you could always use a receiver.

                              i know a repair is always better, but sometimes you just have to cut your losses.

                                I think you are right, we will keep using it through the set top box, and I'll keep my eyes open for a replacement main board.
