I have a "LG 42PC5DC - UL" that blinks 3 times "green" then back to "red standby"

I have a "LG 42pc5dc ul" that blinks 3 times green then back to "red standby". It never turns on though. Could anyone suggest an option for me. I do have soldering skills or I could swap a board out?

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy.

Intermittent color on my 42 LG plasma tv

I need to know if you have each device running straight to the TV or if you are running them all through an AVR. The first thing I would check though is the connections of each by removing all devices and plugging them in one at a time while testing. It is possible one of your devices is causing this.

I have a LG 42PC5DC TV. There are continuous horizontal lines going through the picture. Any ideas of what is wrong?

Is there any other electrical or electronic devices near the TV? If there are, move them away from the TV and see if that clears up those lines. IT could be some kind of interference. Or if there are video games hooked up,,disconnect them also.

42 inch LG plasma tv will turn on green led will flash 3 times and then turn off

Check and replace its main digital board. after replacement, somde adjustments have to be done, and you have to enter its service mode option to do it. Really it is a skilled work, that a customer who has no idea in electronics can do.

If you need the mainboard of your TV, be sure to have your TV product code and model number, both are located in the back of the TV next to the derial number.
You might start looking for that board at EBAY but just be sure to use those number while searching, just to be sure you get the board you need.
