Backlight turning off when the tv gets hot

Hi all, Not sure who to ask! Symptom: TV turns on ok from 'cold start'. After about 30 minutes, the picture goes out. Sound is still there, ie we can change channels and everything appears to be working except the picture is black. The tv must be turned off and allowed to sit for about 30 minutes before it will work again. Seems to be a thermal issue. What I know: I've taken the back off the tv and watched it fail. The white lights, I'm assuming back light display, that I can see through the sheet metal frame all turn off at the same time when the picture goes black. Questions: 1. I'm assuming this is the back light display driver pcb. Any way to confirm? 2. Is there a schematic that exists of this tv so I know which part to replace?Just knowing, for example, that is the LCD driver card does not help me so much since I am not sure what card it is? Thanks in advance!

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis.

    Thank you so much for the comment. I replaced the entire LED driver board (CMO 2G-D081412 (L390H1-1EE) LED Driver from Shopjimmy.com) and the same issue occurs. I did notice that, after about 30 minutes, when the picture quits, I can restart the TV, and the light/picture work for about 1 second. This continues until I let the TV rest for about an hour. Then it will work again for 30 minutes. Any other ideas? I am not an electrical expert but willing to try anything.

LG LED TV 55LN5600. Backlight goes off after maybe 30 minutes. The sound is on. picture is on (tested with flash light). Replacing power supply board did not fix the issue.

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. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

HP-R5052 reboot

It's definitely an overheating problem if your plasma turns off by itself after a while. I would suggest to place a cooling fan near the back of it as a temporary fix.
There could be a power supply issue along with a Ysustainer board but in order to know that for sure, you should use a hair drier and blow hot air to the power supply and see if the TV turns off, if the time that the tv turns off is shorter when blowing hot air to the power supply; then is the power supply issue.
Good Luck.
