Re: LG TV stopped working.

Hello again. I am about to order parts that i have seen on ebay but doesn't quite match the model of the tv.

I was wondering what do i need to match, is the model of the tv important of the sticker located on the back plate for the LED lights.

You're right, i will give it a go. Nothing to lose really.

Re: LG TV stopped working.

Thank you for the response, the thread helped a lot.

I am just debating if it's worth fixing as many people are finding it hard to find replacements. I did look on ebay and they seem to have some strips that seem to match the same as the sticker identified on the back panel of my tv.

I'm just debating now if i should try and fix it myself, try and ring up a few places see how much it will cost for a repair or just get a new one.

I have basic knowledge when it comes to TV's.

Or could be a faulty power board. I'm not skilled with this sort of stuff....i will purchase a testing kit.

Re: LG TV stopped working.

I will have to order the LED back lights for it....never done it before but i reckon i can do it.

Re: LG TV stopped working.

I just took it apart again and to look at the soldering and put it back together. The tv actually works but the screen is so black it looks like it is not on but i can see the menu and operate the tv.

Back light issues?

Re: LG TV stopped working.

The model number is- 47LN578V

Recently whilst watching my tv it stopped working. I unplugged it for about 10 mins and tried the TV again. The TV displayed the home screen for a split second and then goes black and then the standby light flashes 3 times and then stays a solid red.

It's a 48 inch LG LCD smart tv with a dual core processor. It's only 2 years old.I checked the capacitors for any swelling or bursts and they all seem fine.

No scorch marks anywhere or lose wires that i am aware of.
