My 37" LG LCD TV (37LH20) has no picture, but the sound still works. I've read a few things online that say it is likely the inverter board? I found a 'power supply/backlight inverter' for it on ebay.

The sound works, but no picture, just black.

No picture and sound there means the picture is also there but you are not able to see it. It is because the backlights have failed and the inverter board needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 37 inch LG LCD won't turn on due to power failure

Power failures can cause all types of problems, have you firstly checked the fuse in the mains plug? If that is ok then it may have blown an internal fuse in the power supply board, these are there to protect the rest of the circuit from power surges.

This is likely due to a failed power supply. Replacing the power supply board should solve the problem.

SOURCE: LG 42PX4MVH PLASMA TV - Sound but no picture.

I have the same issue with my LG 42PC3DVA and I narrowed it down to the Y SUS board. After a little research there are a few items that are prone to go. The ceramic fuses (as you found), sometimes the capacitors on the Y SUS, Z SUS, and power supply go along with them You can tell because thy will be bulged at the top instead of flat. I replaced a few of my capacitors - they are only $0.89 each so it was MUCH cheaper than a board.

The other thing that is common on the Y SUS in particular are the FETs (also called MOSFET). They can be replaced if you are good with a soldering gun but they are static sensitive so be grounded. They are also a bit tricky to test so you may want to do some research on how to determine if this is the issue... or you can just replace the whole board.

SOURCE: 37'' LG lcd tv, no power

I just want to clear things here.
The stand by light will remain on whenever the tv set is turned on by a button on the side of the tv.

Then use your remote to turn on the tv, but wait as it can take 10secs before you get a picture.

My lg 37lh20 model wont turn back on.It cut off when circuit breaker blew a fuse.

Sounds like a power surge hit your TV. Typically when this happens capacitors on the power board with blow. You can buy a repair kit for this problem from several of the dot coms out there. The best one I have found has been tvrepairkits .com. Hope this helps.

My 37" lg hdtv lcd

Their are a lot of things that could be wrong with your TV. The most commond would be your power supply or your signal board. If you look at your power supply carefully, You might see some capacitors that look like they blow up. If that's the case then replaceing them might fix your problem if not then you might have to get a whole power supply. You can get parts for this TV at www.interliquidparts.com
