RCA 40 inch won't turn on Model:LED40G45RQ

[Mother_Superior]

Hello everyone I haven't been able to turn on my tv for quite a while , I don't know much about tech so I figured maybe you guys can help figure out a solution . When I press power on both the remote and on the tele, It does not turn on. I do get a red light in the left corner so I know the powers working , and I do hear a noise when plugged into an outlet coming from the back of the tv.

Can we see the pictures that show all the boards and how they are connected together?

Based on your symptom, it may be bad EEPROM.

Notes from SJ regarding to bad EEPROM:
IMPORTANT:
These main boards can have multiple failures, in addition to the EEPROM.
If EEPROM replacement does not repair your board, there are likely additional problems.

Symptoms EEPROM replacement MAY fix:
- On screen display is stuck on logo screen
- TV won’t power on with remote or buttons (LED indicator remains same color)
- TV won’t turn on after being off for 30+ minutes
- TV shuts off by itself during channel scan or when switching inputs
- TV turns on and is stuck in color test pattern mode forever
- TV turns on but there is no backlight (LED indicator shows TV is on but there is no image)

Does it matter exactly which EEPROM I order?

So I'm doing a thorough research on the EEPROM replacement , I'm reading that if you install a new EEPROM the tvs output function will not work?

"I'm reading that if you install a new EEPROM the tvs output function will not work?" Where did you read that? What TV's output? Audio?

A YouTube comment . Someone said if you install the new eeprom you have to transfer the data from the old eeprom to the new one , if you don't the hdmi functions , input/output and the remote won't work. Is this true ? Sorry for the amateur questions.

The EEPROM from shopjimmy is programmed for that main board that is why you have to make sure it is the correct one for your board. May be the guy is installing blank EEPROM.

So I've replaced the eeprom but still tv won't turn on I feel I may have made matters worse

Maybe I did not solder well enough?
