LG 42LE5310 being very forgetful

[The_Todd]

Hello, I have a LG TV (yes one of those)

that won't tune in any channels, hdmi and everything else works.
the other weird thing is it forgets the time when reset.

and ive tried resolving the pins around the DVB circuit,

would the theory of the ROM chip be corrupt?
the tv trying to write the time and channel info and it getting lost?
all voltages on the board look fine.

also how does the tv keep the time going when turned off?

and what is that button on the main board for? im curious..... but I don't want to push it in case the END OF ZE WROLD!

cheers.

Try a factory reset, looks like you can do it from your menu, if that don't work try a firmware update or reapply.

What is your EXACT process, when you are trying to tune channels?

Re: LG 42LE5310 being very forgetful

Switch off TV. (Completely off, not just standby). Unplug aerial lead. Power up and switch on TV.

Go to yor settings and do scan for channels. (Obviously it won't find anything but let it complete the scan anyway.)

When complete, switch off/power off again.

Re-connect aerial lead.

Power on/switch on again. Repeat scan. Works in some instances.

Could be your tuner is messed up, you can replace them, without much trouble.

I would open up the coax port on the main board and make sure that the center line and the ground is connected to the board especially in the solder areas as it could have broken loose, this is a very common problem.
