Re: LG 42" LCD 42LD550 will not turn on or turns itself off/on

Hi. thanks again. I may come back here after I get the meter. This is a learning process for me. I do not know where to place the voltage meter or the tester. You may have to guide me. I may have a question about the meter, but let me get the meter first. Sorry, true novice here. but I would rather learn how to do it myself than get someone else.

thank you again, really appreciate your help.

Re: LG 42" LCD 42LD550 will not turn on or turns itself off/on

ok i will either borrow one tomorrow from work, we have labs there or go pick one up. Just to make sure I understand, I will unplug the power supply and test the plug there on the back of the TV? Then I can post the results here If i can get one today, I will let you know, and we'll go from there. thank you...will get back to you.

Re: LG 42" LCD 42LD550 will not turn on or turns itself off/on

Hi. Thank you. I agree i think the issue is some internal problem.

Yes, I do have a digital camera.

No, do not have a digital multimeter. I can buy one.

Hi. I want to repair this issue myself. If i cannot, then I will be happy to buy a new TV. Not. LOL...

Can any of you awesome techs please help? I need to know what to do, what parts to buy, and instruction on how to repair?

[U]Problem: [/U]
The TV will not turn on, or if it comes on, it will turn off and then try to turn itself back on and off. I might get the LG splash screen for a second, then black again. The red light on the bottom does not turn blue at all like it is supposed to.

This tv is 2 years old. I did the normal troubleshooting...
