    LG 42PC3D Main Board Problem

    I have a question regarding an LG 42PC3D-UE main board.

    Initially I suspected the SMPS so I replaced all the electrolytics on the secondary side just as a precaution. All the voltages are present and correct.

    This TV powers up, there is screen glow, but it won't respond to commands or accept inputs.

    That is, until I press SW4001. This is a small momentary switch located just below and to the right of the RF module on the Main Board (this is the UE version so there is only one main board). As soon as this switch is pressed the TV accepts input, displays a good picture and sound, allows menu access and inputs.

    In other words, the set is dead until I pres SW4001. After that it's fine.

    Any time the power is cycled I have to press the switch again.

    Additional info:
    Cycle on time is 10 seconds from pressing the power switch to steady green status LED. Status LED flashes green during that time.

    Cycle off time is 10 seconds from green to red. The set turns off as soon as I press the power switch but the Status LED remains green for 10 seconds before turning red.

    Sure would appreciate some help with this Main Board.

      Thanks, but the menu tree settings on this TV do not have a "Last State" option.

      I found the service manual for the -UE version.

      It shows SW4001 in the ATSC Tuner section as "EJTAG_RSTb" on pin 1 of IC4004, which is a voltage sensor. It appears to pull the EJTAG line and pin 1 of IC4004 to ground when pressed. Normally it appears that these are at 3.3Volts.

      There is a 10uF capacitor in this circuit. I think I'll try replacing it and see what happens.

      So reseting "EJTAG" and Pin 1 of IC4004 brings the TV on.

      I have no idea what EJTAG is!

        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.

        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...

        Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
        by jb_Bak
        Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

        Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
        Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
        CN6401
        Pin 01 NC
        Pin 02 NC
        Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
        Pin 04 "N/C"
        Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
        Pin 06 "GND": N/C
        Pin 07 "AC_OFF"...

        Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
        Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

        Is it possible to upgrade from a Vestel 17MB97 main board to a 17MB110 Main board?
        by cheeky2
        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...

        Driving a Sharp TCON/panel with a universal main board
        by advant
        This thread is about trying to get an Universal Main Board to work with a Sharp TCON and panel.

        I have a Sharp LC-46D85UN TV that has had a main board issue. Since this model is from 2009, I am not able to find an exact replacement of the main board. Instead, I decided to see if I can future proof this tv by getting a Universal Main Board (T53U21.2) from China to work with the Sharp TCON (CPWBX4291TPZA) and panel. The universal main board supports a 8 bit dual channel LVDS interface whereas the TCON requires a 10 bit dual channel LVDS input. I have modded the LVDS connector to match...
