    42LK450-UB Noob question

    Ill start with my TV problem. I have stated above what my Model LG tv i have.
    With that said, It has a strange problem I have not seen in any TV repair I have done.

    I've repaired maybe 5 or so TV's, but all with completely obvious issues.
    No Power at all-checked and changed fuse
    Intermittent power - bad caps, replace capacitors

    Easy stuff like that

    Well this one im working on, It has power. Every Pin i test is getting the right voltage. So my ignorant self just replaced the main board thinking that has to be it.. anywayy..

    TV Issue: Has power, the standby light is red until pressed then turns blue. The LG Logo splashscreen turns on for a few seconds then goes out. Then a screen stating what the current channel the tuner is on (hdmi1/hdmi2/tv ect...) Then it goes back out, then goes to an LG Logo screen that says no signal and turns off. But its rhythmic in a way of about 2 seconds per screen. Then the standby light fades back to red.

    What I have done:
    Replaced all boards with ones from Shopjimmy.com (Main board, T-Conn, and PSU)

    What could this possibly be? The screen is fine, the back light is lit as im getting proper signal it just shuts off. Any ideas? I am officially stumped. I even made a profile here to ask the professionals as they have helped me with other TV's (just by using the forums, people have solved the same problems i had)

    Thank you so much for any time given to me. It's my Dad's Tv, and as you know he keeps nagging me asking where its at.......

    "Every Pin i test is getting the right voltage."
    So are you saying the control signal pins ALL have correct Voltages? Are 100% sure?
    You need to list all the Voltages at the power supply connector that goes to the main board, you MUST PUT DOWN THE PIN NAME and follow by the Voltage reading of each pin when the TV is in stand by and after the TV is turned on.
    How about the pictures of the whole back side of the TV showing all the boards?

      Not sure how you got a main board from shopjimmy as these guys are notorious for being impossible to buy anymore. But what you are describing sounds like a classic bad main board. Most likely a bad board was sent to you.
      Based off my experience you have either software issues or BGA issues.

        Ok, gotta come clean here.

        SO by "I tested all the pins" I mean my Uncle did, but he is in IT. So I would figure he would be ok to trust. Buutttttt.... I would rather be 100% sure myself before i go pouring more money into this.

        So, I have a meter that can just amps/volts. Ground to chassis and check pins, but I aint getting squat. I have the Tv plugged in i would assume to get power, but as stated in my post it wont stay on long enough to test all of them.

        I guess my newer question would be, how does one check these pins? and i already have the requested pictures, as well as a picture of the pin voltages from the PSU.

        Im off to one of the stickies that im sure answers one of these questions i have. Sorry to be an ignorant pain.

          "Ground to chassis and check pins, but I aint getting squat. " It is either operator error, meter is bad, or meter setting error.
          Well, get a battery and test the Voltage to see what your meter will show on the screen.
          What kind of meter and what did you set it to?

            Re: 42LK450-UB Noob question

            Alright got it all squared away. I test the pins in both stand by and in the on position. Being as the TV would only stay on for a few seconds really made this fun. So as in the pictures i posted the pins i was testing off the PSU, check out my picture to see my pins

            Any ideas what i should do with this now?



            Or, what else should i do? I like the previous idea of a bad main board (defect) because thats what i thought in the first place. But im sure if i try to return it as defective they will want proof.

            Thanks again for all your help.

              The problem may be on your power board. See attached photo. It depends on the microcontroller code, but a LOW signal is usually below ~0.7V.

                disconnect one at a time, the tcon to panel cables and see what the display does when powered up thereafter.

                  as this is a older ccfl set i guess it could be a failed ccfl or invertor transformer

                    Disconnected all cables and booted one at a time. When T-CONN was dissconnected it just flashed the screen on the same 4 times. Just no picture. Reconnected and tried different ones one at a time to the same result as the original. So I cant seem to narrow it down that way

                      Any easy way to test this theory? Sorry im not that good at this. I have the tools and very basic knowledge.

                        I have replaced this board as well, but being as that voltage is rather high, what can I do to narrow it down?

                        Thanks

                            Looking a little further, it's not the power board. The error signal just crosses the board. As vinceroger69 mentioned above, problem could be inverter/ccfl.

                                What could i do to test the inverter? Its only $25, but still. I would like to be sure.

                                        what you will need to do is test the windings on each of those transformers is there a part number on them? can you take a clear photo of one of them

                                          by NanoTesting
                                          I got a 15-IIL05 that failed to turn on BUT IT DID TRY TO TURN ON and then turned off after 30+- seconds, i disassembled it and found a screw loose inside the case.
                                          With charger it turns on, fan spins but gives no image.
                                          Tested main mosfets no short, tested 3.3v,5v,DRAM, CPU etc and they were present.
                                          Reflashed BIOS, same problem.
                                          Replaced both main mosfets.
                                          Checked main mosfets again and i noticed that they closed once the laptop shut down, so i decided to bypass them and used a bench PSU to check how much power the laptop was drawing while trying to turn on, 20v@3A,...

                                          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...

                                          Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                                          I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.
                                          Main power board model: TP.MS3683.PC821 T-Con board: N4TP546UHDPU2L_BO

                                          Last Sunday I was watching a dvd and fell asleep for about half hour, when I awoke the tv screen was black and couldn't get the dvd menu to show, so I changed the input to antenna and had sound but no picture, turned it off. I then got online and found this great site! ....read many troubleshooting tips and this...

                                          hi, I have this macbook that works correctly with battery inserted, if I connect the power supply the light turns green but it does not charge, if I disconnect the battery and connect only the power supply the light turns green and the mac enters the ignition loop 4/5 sec, turns off and repeats itself,

                                          on the motherboard there are no traces of liquid or damaged components,

                                          I tested the 3.42 and they are constant both with power supply and with battery,
                                          advice on what signs I can start checking?
                                          the power supply indicator light never turns orange,
                                          power...

                                          MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...
