Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement.

Begs the question how do you know the power has gone out if you see the red standby LED then. Why is it you think it's the power? Why not the main board? The power supply board is known to go bad on 50PA5500 as well as the top buffer board. Both can fail in a way that makes the TV to click on and right back off. The buffer may also fail in a way that allows the TV to turn on without anything on the screen. And of course failures on other boards may cause the same symptoms too.

If the TV is totally unresponsive then you most likely are looking for a main board service or replacement. if the TV clicks on and then back off there are several options. The power supply issue is well covered here on FixYa, but it may be turning off also because of a bad buffer board (known to happen) or other board (less common, but always possible).

If you're an electronics DIY...I had the same problem, TV turns on then immediately turns off. Fixed it with an 89 cent capacitor. TV is an LG 50PA5500, two and a half years old. Suddenly stopped working...would switch it on and it would immediately turn off. Sometimes if I left it unplugged for a while and plugged it back in, then it would click at intervals of 1 & 5 seconds repeatedly. Inspection of the main power board showed C802, a black rectangular film capacitor at the top of the board between the transformer and heatsksink was bulging at the sides. Found the part, 0.022uF 1.25KVDC, on DigiKey (p/n 495-1360-ND) for $0.89 + ~$3 shipping (much cheaper & more reliable than eBay!). Replaced, TV working like new again.

Clean the Lens: Use a DVD cleaning disc to clean the lens. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning. Test Other Discs: Try playing different DVDs to see if the issue occurs consistently. If it's specific to one disc, that disc might be the problem. Check for Updates: Make sure your DVD player's firmware is updated. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for firmware updates. Try a Different TV: Connect your DVD player to a different TV to see if the noise disappears. If it does, the issue might be with your TV. The hum is simply the player trying to read the disc. It can't so, it spits it out. Remember that prolonged use of a malfunctioning DVD player could potentially cause damage. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or replacement

The screen blank out

This is the Power Board for it. check those 6 electrolytic Capacitors on the right for bulging or splitting. Don't buy it blindly, it's a guess. The output voltages with a digital multimeter. https://applianceparts.com/item/10217204/LG/EAY62812602/ Many parts are obsolete. eBay has used boards, but they are risky because they are out of scrapped sets. https://www.google.com/search?q=50PN5300-UF+power+board We have a television expert named Larry, but I haven't seen him for a while.

Maybe the disk is not compatible with the DVD player version

It can't be done. The DVD remote will be single frequency for that device only and the LG remote for that LG Blu Ray (or series) only. Companies don't make cross-control between makers easy. The only exception is cable and satellite boxes to allow their remote to also control the television. If you have lost a remote or it doesn't work, this is the answer https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

You can't, the LG DVD Remote is single frequency. If you are lucky, the LG Television Remote, might control an LG DVD. If you have lost a remote, have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

If you would like to share any clues, yes. Checked power going in, I presume. Any indicator lights? If yes, how many times does it flash?
