Re: LG 50PJ550 clicking on/off

I haven't had the opportunity to check for shorts that Hamie described in his post yet, would I still need to do that after checking for shorts on P210 and P211? What do the readings mean? Is something shorted? Thanks

Thanks for the help Agent24! Sorry for lacking a picture but it was the type where you just pull it out.

Anyway here is what I found on P210 and P211 using the CHECK DIODE function on the multimeter. I placed the ground in one of the screw holes for wall mounting and confirmed it was a good ground before continuing.

[B][U]P210[/U][/B] (looking at connector, top to bottom)

GND: 000

I cannot for the life of me release the P212 and P101 ribbon cables! I checked Youtube but they only showed a different style of ribbon cables. Please help!

Re: LG 50PJ550 clicking on/off

I do have a digital multimeter and I will follow Andrew's test and report back. Thanks!

Re: LG 50PJ550 clicking on/off

Thanks for the replies, I will check for shorts, is there any easy way to do this?

Hi all,

New member here, trying to fix my parents' TV. It is an LG 50PJ550 plasma manufactured in 2010. Last night they were watching TV and heard a POP, then the TV wouldn't stay turned on anymore. I have been looking for a fix online for most of the day but I still cannot determine what is wrong.

[B]SYMPTOM:[/B] Power cable plugged in, get the red light on in the front. Turn TV on, red light disappears, hear it click-click, no flash or anything on the screen, red light appears again, hear it click-click. Same thing happens each time.

So far I have done...
