    LG 55EC930v is not turning on, it's dead

    Hello!
    First i want to say, i have no experience with Electric repair, and because of this, i'm very carefully. And my English is not the best, because I'm from germany, but i try my best.

    I'm 6 months already here in this forum, because the TV of my dad isn't working anymore. It's the 55EC930v.
    I readed almost every thread about this TV here, and i saw already some things like image tests and other tests.
    I saw also something with IR Blasters, and i tried it. i have still a old galaxy S5 with IR Blaster, and got a App with the "Power Only" button.
    was before happend: we were out of the room, tv is alone in the room, it was on. then we came back 5 minutes later, and the tv is off. But this happend already once, but he could start again.
    Ok, then my dad wanted to turn it on again, but then it just give a click and after 2-3 seconds another click. The LG logo is on, but it's going darker and brighter.
    Then we just opend the TV, and there was a lot dust inside.
    We cleaned, looked at the parts, and first look was ok.
    My vater used contact spray.
    Tried again to turn on TV, and still nothing, same problem.
    Then removed the T-Con and looked at it.
    it was ok for me.
    Then my dad got another TV, and then put the broken LG in the basement, because he didn't wanted to look again at it, because it was expensive and was working only 4 years.
    Then my grandma said, she want's to repair it, and i could bring the tv to her this week.
    I opened it, and looked at the parts again.
    Then i removed a cable from the T-Con and i got for 2 seconds a half dark screen, it was like grey, but in the camera you clearly see, it was green.
    Then i removed another cable from T-Con, and saw it very bright with green Color, and also burn in. Maybe because i removed the LVDS cable??
    I removed once all Cables from T-Con, and LVDS too, and it didn't came on. Used Power only on galaxy S5, and the LG remote.

    Then i removed completly the T-con, and tried it again, but same problem.
    But if one Cable was removed, then it took maybe 4-5 Seconds, until the tv clicks again after the first click.
    And i connected every cable again and put the tv on another table and said to me, i'm done. But then i tried again to turn it on, and i saw on the left corner some lines moving for 2 seconds, until tv clicks again.
    I also tested the USB slots, and two of them are working for half second, i plugged in my phone and a PC mouse.
    the third usb slot isn't giving a feedback, Nothing.

    My grandma want to call a technican tomorrow, that should look for the tv, what is wrong or broken.
    I wanted to ask here already, what it could be, and i think the mainboard is still in proction mode, or it's maybe broken?
    I added some images from the TV.

    I'm already exciting what you say.

    Best regards,
    Michael

    I have an update, the technician can't come because he is currently not working. But we bought a mainboard and I will give a update, when the new board is in the tv.

          I couldn't upload images but i saw, that i damaged before a flex ribbon cable from panel to t-con. And this is maybe the reason why i got over time with unplugging and plug in some grey stripes in left corner. with working mainboard it's getting complete over the screen, A LOT of stripes.
          3 pins are missing and complete cutted ribbon cable. i used also tape and clued over the damaged pins and screen was black, and now i need only new cables and tv will work again, hopefully. i mean, i can hear sound, the OS is working.
          also found the TV in my router and it was visible in LG ThinQ app and Youtube
          but i performed instop and i don't know how i did setup the tv, i pressed randomly on the remote, and then i got 10 minutes later again sound, where this black beanbird is on a seat. (normally, but i cant see it, because the cable is damaged.)
          The main problem was the mainboard i would say. Then i damaged the cable and this prevents me from seeing the screen.
          The old mainboard never turned on again after the 8 months, and that's it.

              In my opinion, you simply did not correctly insert the cable (mirrored), usually the blue insert should be under the latch

                You are right the ribbon cable is no longer any good try to find a replacement.

                    I bought a new cable yesterday but have to wait, until it arrives. Maybe One week..
                    @lotas, the blue part was not visible anymore when i connected the cable. or maybe a little bit, but i checked it again.
                    And i removed the cable sometimes, and i had to struggle to reinsert the cable. maybe it happend there. yes, the cable with the lost pins, for me it was looking like cracks, because it's from top to bottom.
                    I added better detailed images from the cable, and versus a good cable.
                    (a few days old these pictures, there was one pin lost. but now 3 pins.)

                      I don't know if you did or didn't but never plug and unplug those ribbon cables while power is applied.

                        It was always off, no power. Not that i touch accidentally the power supply.
                        I will update the thread if cables arrive. It's comming from Lettland, maybe 1-2 weeks until it arrives.

                          Hi, got the cable today and i got the same screen. But i saw that the lvds cable is maybe broken, the connector is only half on the cable. Then i removed the comnector and there were
                          also two pins lost. this the final issue?
                          What does the lvds Do?

                            Ah yes, now i see it, the LVDS gives the image of the MB (like HDMI, USB and it's own UI to tcon and this goes into panel. That makes sense. So i have to get this cable, and it will work again.
                            Another time to wait until it arrives..

                              Hi, got good update and bad Update.
                              Got screen with the new lvds cable, looking good without problems. But after one minute it turned off, and then turned on again, and got again good screen
                              Then I saw a red big stripe 3-4cm and disappeared again, then few seconds came back and tv says off.
                              Maybe i should clean all the cables?

                                    Images, no issues when screen is working, no vertical or horizontal lines, but after the tv goes off with broken image, (1 second and then everything black, it's really fast, and then click. )
                                    After turn on again, i saw a orange colored horizontal stripe but i turned it off.
                                    I think if i try now again, the image will be good, but after 10 minutes it will happen again.
                                    Could it really be a problem if there is dust on flex ribbon cable? but i think, it's not that problem.
                                    I'm thinking, the PSU has a problem and killed the Mainboard, and then power goes away and screen goes dark.

                                    Back to 2020, where the tv died, i coulnd't turn it never on again. This year, where my Grandma wanted to fix it, i looked at the TV, and bought new Mainboard.TV turning on, but cable broken. bought 2 news cables, tv turns on, but turns off after 10 Minutes. You see the issue at picture 2 and 3.
                                    i really wanted to fix the tv, because my grandma bought another OLED, and if i could get the LG working, i could use it..

                                        I read the Service Bulletin (55EC9300-U* (EC93 Series) and there is a Firmware for [EA42D]
                                        Improved Auto Power Off / No Power issue.
                                        I should give that a try..

                                          Hi guys, I have an A1466 (820-00165-A) board which came in dead, had corrosion on R7181 near ISL6259 chip. I removed corrosion and replace R7181 and the macbook powered on.

                                          After sometime I didn't get any light on the charger but fan was spinning and I was getting battery charge logo on the screen, so I replaced the ISL6259 chip and it came on! everything was working fine.

                                          (NOTE: Customer had previously got the battery replaced from another shop and it was third party bad quality)

                                          I had used my test SSD and my known good original battery.

                                          Hi all,

                                          As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

                                          I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

                                          Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

                                          hello guys,

                                          i need help to repair a edm-033 ps2
                                          history : as always hdmi port and usb ports destroyed after unplugged
                                          after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
                                          so i changed it
                                          now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
                                          but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...

                                          i don't see any projection of liquid metal on pcb.

                                          Haier TV Not Turning On--Completely Dead with No standby light
                                          by djaywilly
                                          I have a Haier 50" LE50d3505b television that is "dead." No image, no standby lights, no sound, no nothing. The power supply board is HKL-500201A, and physical inspection looks good. I have tested the fuse (works) and the bridge rectifier (works). Also, the capacitors are not "puffy." However, a couple diodes seem to have faulty test results. I have tested diodes 10/11 using the "diode setting" on my multi-meter. I got .000 readings for both. For diodes 13/14, I got .177 for both readings. Do you think just these diodes are the issue? If so....would these be...

                                          Hello everyone hope all doing well!
                                          I have this PSU (GPS450-AA delta oem) around for like 4-5 years and I had it recapped early 2020 or 2021 with mostly UCC KY and Nichicon PW's. The bulk was and still is fine, the original Ltec's were bloated and empty. The previous issue was some major coil whine noise and at times random shutdowns when going idle. Today it started tripping the mains breaker and I think I have dead APFC mosfets (20N60C3). Right now upon checking I have the Q1 and Q3 FETs dead so far and I guess those are responsible for the PFC circuit. The only thing I care is If there...
