Re: LG 37LC55 Random Flickering and then Standby

Sorry about the late reply.

I took off the back cover to get a better look at the light emitting from the CFL & guess what? The damn things still on after 12 hours lol, So got to be a overheating issue.

I know the inverter has electrolytic cap's on it, so i'll start there.

I've never done the hairdryer test before (got a ww2 Clairol Turbo thingy) any ruff guidelines on how long to heat things up before they should fail from a bad cap or dry joint?

Thanks

Hi

My LG 37LC55 randomly starts to flicker then the flickering gets faster and then it goes in to standby. From cold (eg over night) I'll get 2 hours or so out of it, then over an other hour it will happen faster and faster until it will only stay on for about 2 minutes.

The first thing i did was replace the Cap's on the power board (c202,c206,c210,c217,c218,c226) but it's made no difference.

Reading around the net some say it could be the TCon board or the Inverter or the main av board.

any ideas ?

Thanks

Hi

I've just been given 2 gateway vx1100 crt's, both have faults.

One will power up just fine, but if i switch it off & on again it wont power up, but if i leave it a couple of hours it will power up. (leaky Capacitor ???)

The second monitor Just makes a nasty clicking sound & thats it. (Flyback transformer ???)

Any help would be great.

Thanks
