OH MY GOD! I can't tell you how much I miss my good old LG right now! I bit the bullet and went and got a Samsung 32UE5300 and I can't put into words how inferior the image is! The privacy disclaimer is great - They will "sync" and recommend for you but you can't seem to add anything without going thru them? I guess it just makes it easier for them to separate you from your money and collect data for the NSA's tracking activities. "Smart-TV", right! I was so much better using my laptop and home stereo hooked up for surround...
Well, unfortunately, replacing that cap did not solve the problem. I guess I'll be looking at getting a new dmm and trying the voltage tests that were outlined above. Not sure if it's going to help or I should just go and get a new one :-(. Any recomendations for a better replacement than LG?
Thanks again Momaka, I think there is only one that Budm outlined in post #20...
While googling this issue there are quite a few posts and videos but having all the info in one place really helps. Folks don't alway update the outcome which really is ashame for others. Badcaps has been very helpful and I appreciate your help and guidance. I'll be sure to update my results.
tom66 and mdPhoenix - thanks for access to the manual. Based on the image wonderfully annotated by Budm, my board shows that capacitor labeled as "c126"...
Well Thanks for the quick reply Momaka, that increases my confidence a tiny bit but I was kind of hoping for some feedback on the failure mode and findings I posted.
Hi Folks - maybe Crrose got a new tv instead of a dimm?
I am watching this thread with interest as I have the same model LG that recently decided to not turn on . On inspection, I see no blown capacitors but there was quite a bit of dust accumulated especially around the fan. ONE QUESTION, at the beginning of this post the person said no red light at all. My tv displayed a (fainter than normal) blinking red light - no pattern just on/off. Is this the same failure mode? I also want to add I had just started using the HDMI port for a Roku...
