    LG 79UB9800 heat problem

    Hello,

    My TV is generating excessive amount of heat from the back (especially around the main board and psu areas) even after operating for just a few minutes.
    I recently switched the main board due to video problems (maybe from the heat??) and I am really worried the new main board might eventually get the same problems.
    tried connecting it to a surge protector as well as directly to the wall, nothing helps.

    The TV supports 100-240v, and I run it on 220v.
    Shall I try connecting it to some sort of a stabilizer that outputs 110v?

    if that’s not the case, what could it be?
    I am sure this heat shouldn’t be normal.

    Model: LG 79UB9800

    thanks.

    If the t.v is working good, i assume it is since you replaced main. You may need to modify it with fans. However is this tv running in air conditioned environment? Or is it room temps which i assume your area is rather warm.

      the tv is working great and I always make sure the room temp is good, plus there’s an AC right above the TV, but AC or not, it still gets considerably hot, so I don’t really think installing fans would help much.

      I was wondering if voltages can do that?
      and whether lowering the input voltage (within supported range) would help.

        Is your a/c unit sharing same outlet or plug as A/C unit or same breaker at fusebox? if so then that explains it perfectly why your tv is running hot. Heavy draw on same circuit can cause everything plugged into it run hot.

          Just checked and nope they’re on seperate breakers and plugs.

            Fan mod is only solution i can think of , others might chime in with other ideas.

              doing a fan mod does sound a good solution may have to cut back tv casing to allow good air flow and mount a fan or two over the main bga ics

                the worst TV i’ve ever dealt with, so frustrating not being able to figure it out... no more LG products for me.

                  LG really are making the worst mainboards ever.
                  I used to think they were bad but recently they have taken it to a whole new level of shit.

                    yeah don’t know whether it’s a mainboard fault, psu or poor ventilation and design, What I do know for sure is that LG is trash.

                      Suppling it with 110vac doesn't make any difference i think, you have to remove the back cover, and locate more precisely the heat, don't touch directly anything on the psu even with mains disconnected, use something flat and very hard to touch but not metal, it has to be thin, like a piece of glass, let it to warmup and check the part that is warming too much. A possible reason of it can be bad capacitors > high ripple, if you can replace them with good brands. Another possible reason is bad soldering on both mainb. / psu.

                        Not willing to take it off again, plus I am not much a tech. to check for bad caps and soldering stuff..
                        I have another thread and you suggested switching the mainboard, it worked and I thank you for that. In the mean time i’ll just hope it doesn’t go bad.

                        If you visited Egypt, come and take a look at it yourself (kidding)

                          My suggestion is not strictly for your operation, you can let to make it by a tech. If any tech there is not able to change caps you're put wrong..

                            Will see what I can do, will definitely bring a tech soon.
                            Last question:
                            I can also feel static electricity running though the TV metal frame when I touch it even if it’s unplugged and nowhere near other devices, it’s on a wooden cabinet.
                            does this indicate voltage leak or is it normal?

                              Interesting. With it plugged in one would think it is lacking ground at the outlet can cause metal chassis to give you a shock. As with anything lacking ground plugged into outlet.


                              Or the air is really really dry can cause static.

                              Or you have something wrong in circuitry energizing the chassis. Current leakage to chassis can be a pin on backside touching metal or cap etc.


                              Dunno let other chime their opinions.

                                well it has been unplugged for nearly 30 mins now and can still feel the static, and nothing is touching it or plugged in it.

                                  Weird. Only thing i can think of is a capacitor storing energy and leaking to chassis. I am certain when a circuit is working correctly the built in resistors will drain them after it is unplugged unless there is something wrong. such as it touching chassis somewhere bypassing the resistor or something failed in circuit and energizing the chassis.


                                  I think i have read something similar somewhere on bad caps forums. Let the more experienced folks chime in on this one.

                                    One thing is static electricity, one is leakage to ground currents, the first charges the metal chassis with a certain amount of charge that when you touch it you discharge it, the second is flowing continously and you feel it every touch, there can be a possible leakage on the big condensers i think, one more reason to change'em all even the 450v ones if needed. Not all PSU have discharge resistors so you can have charge after hours of wall plug unplugging.

                                      Should I be concerned? let the tech change the condenser? anyways I've attached the power supply pic. , if it doesn't have resistors or maybe anything odd that can be seen (I know that's unlikely).

                                        The 450v capacitors can't be because them are not connected to ground, the cap before the bridge are low capacity, them aren't, to feel a current with the hand the metal must be at high potential, i think more than 40v, so only the 100v cap for the backlight can be, but them can discharge to the leds probably, so i think the voltage come from antenna or if is not connected i don't know... need schematic..

                                          Hello,

                                          I've got a problem with a Samsung UE60KS7000 that was given to me and said that there was a problem with the One Connect box but as I understand the TV should turn on even with the One Connect box disconnected (which it doesn't). There is no stand by light.

                                          I've disconnected the Main Board from the PSU and when connecting to mains the backlight turns on which suggests the PSU might be ok. I've measured the voltages out of the PSU and they seem reasonable (like the labels say). The main board has no obvious burns, there are no shorts on the power rails anywhere....

                                          Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?

                                          I suppose the real question is whether the existing pinouts from ether a 17IPS71 psu are cross compatible with a 17IPS12 psu? If they are then the exchange of the main boards should have no issues providing the screen is compatible with both main boards. Obviously you can change the screen configurations easily enough (providing you have the correct files) for the main board. Why may you ask would I do this? Well a lot of the smart features are no longer working on a Hitachi 48HBT62U main board I wish to give it a new lease of life!
                                          Obviously the same LVDS connector for the screen connection...

                                          Just starting to crack into this one and wanted to get the ball rolling.

                                          At power on (plug in), power light on, relays click, repeat (sometimes)

                                          After disconnecting Y-Main from SMPS power stays on and boot up jingle is heard from speakers

                                          Removed Y-Main for inspection and testing
