    Lg 42pn5400 won't turn on

    I haven't been on in a while. I picked up a free lg 42pn5400 that shut off during a storm.
    I had a working psu for it so I swapped it out. Tv won't turn on. Only the red standby light is on.
    I've disconnected the mainboard from the control board and jumped the pins for test patterns but the screen stays black. No change to the standby led.

    I've forgotten a lot of what I had learned. Any help?
    Could it still be the main board if there are no, test patterns.

      Sounds like y or x problem screen not lit etc you need the voltages check and jumper PSU with main disconnected I.e pson vson to see if screen lights, briefly disconnect y side is vs up on psu . I've got a PJ and a PG in front of me now and yes takes awhile to recall the steps to follow.

          It's the main board. It wasn't enough to disconnect the lvds cable from the main board to the control board. I disconnected the power cable from the psu to the mainboard.
          Once I did, I got test patterns.

              Well done. On the PG I only had to take out lvds as otherwise PSU wouldn't start without jumpers. I've got a 60PV with no pic to work on when I manage to wrestle it to the table - more self abuse I think !!!

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  by Tynan Dill
                  I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                  I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                  The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                  With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                  Assuming...

                  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...

                  un60j620dafxza - Samsung No Display Problem
                  by stylishconsultant
                  Hi All,

                  Need help.

                  I have a samsung un60j620dafxza led tv. When I plug it in it has no display, no sounds, and no standby lights.

                  So I opened the tv and disconnected the power to the mainboard and the backlight powered up. This according to many people says that this is a mainboard
                  problem. I checked the voltage coming from the stb and I read 1.3 volts on pins 1,3,5 and 7 which are low volts instead of 13 volts which i think the lcd panel
                  might be drawing too much power from the power supply that it prevents the right voltage going to the mainboard....

                  Sony Bravia XBR 55X900E cycling through test patterns: which board(s) to replace?
                  by patricksurry
                  We had a power outage but TV seemed to be working fine afterward. This morning it showed a "grainy" picture, and then next time we turned it on it's stuck in a test-pattern loop. None of the resets I've tried have any effect, including unplug/wait/plug in - it immediately goes into this cycling test pattern.

                  Does this suggest the main board needs replaced? The TV is about 5 years old, picture still looks great (tho limiting to crisp red/green/blue/white lacks some variety ...

                  LG 55EC930V OLED - swich on swich of no screen
                  by maxim2511
                  My Oled Tv is 55inch tv, 3 days ago I notice that middle of the screen is getting warmer and on picture I have ghosting, missing red color. Color red was still displaying, but it was not so strong as corners of the screen and watching some movies makes me angry.
                  Then I get an idea to take it apart and clean boards from dust.
                  In side of Tv was not so bad, I take compressed air in can, and gently blow up.

                  Also I was thinking to styrofoam sponge to isolate power board from screen that the middle of the screen will not worm so much. Because Led on screen when gets higher...
