Thanks, good to know. I've written this down and taped it to the back of the TV in case this happens again.

Re: LG 60PZ550 glows but no picture/sound - happy ending

Hello,
Having seen no activity on my thread for a long time, I decided to buy a new main board via ebay at risk. It arrived, in bubble wrap, with absolutely no ESD protection whatsoever. And it worked just fine. I have a TV again.

I know there are professionals who hang out here, and maybe the old board is perfectly fine, if only someone who knows what they are doing fixes something. If you are such a person, and you think you can earn a few bucks that way, post here and I will ship the old board to you....

Re: LG 60PZ550 glows but no picture/sound

I hope it's not a breach of forum etiquette to bump my own post, but the wife is getting impatient and the board I linked to in my original post is now sold out. Can someone please help with that "simple jumper test" that tom66 referred to?

I really appreciate you folks taking the time to try to help me.

Greetings, all, first post. I found my way here trying to find a replacement board for my LG 60PZ550. This TV is only three years old and hopefully can be salvaged.

About a week ago, upon turning it on, the familiar click of a relay could be heard, and the, umm, "TV is off" LED went out (in this particular TV the LED is on when the TV is off ). The screen "glows", like it does when it hasn't "hooked up" with whatever source it's using, but that is all. No sound, no picture, and the TV only responds to commands from the remote (or on the front of...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

My name is Eric and I found my way here googling around trying to find out what's wrong with my LG plasma TV (which is only 3 years old). I am engineer by trade, but not really much of a hobbyist. I have done some soldering but I'm not very good at it.

I do have some experience repairing TVs. Back in the CRT era, I had this NEC 26" that used to get a great picture via rabbit ears. But every so often, the picture would "snow up", as if the tuner was gradually drifting off. One of the first few times...
