If it was hit by lightning I'm guessing there are more issues with the power board, that is the one that takes the brunt of a lightning strike or power surge

SOURCE: Lightning Damage

There are millions upon millions of electronics that could have been fried.  If you wanted to try and frankenstein with other broken receivers from ebay you might be able to fix it.   Also check to make sure there aren't any fuses and I recommend a surge protector.

SOURCE: my lg tv was damage by the lightning can it still

Only someone who can look at it and see what was damaged can tell us that. Lighning is so unpredictable it is impossible to tell what got damaged and what is good without seeing it and touching it and testing it. There is always hope in these cases but to be on the safe side you might want to call the insurance adjuster. My personal guess is that it probably fried at the very least the power supply and could have traveled around in side the boards and ruined them all. But like I said it could be a very slight hit and only a small pico fuse on the power supply could have gone bad, so call the insurance folks and see if they are willing to pay for a repair estimate or will they replace the set.

SOURCE: TV hit by lightning. Will Best Buy replace without questions?

Ask and see but I would not mention the lightening---if its 3 months old the LG warranty should cover the repair or replacement.

They will not know at all it was lightening unless you tell them.

"This thing just stopped working" they will either get it fixed or get you a replacement set.

I THINK WHAT THEY MEAN IS YOU NEED TO TUNE IN ALL THE STATIONS AND ALSO SET ALL YOU ,COLOR, BRIGHTNESS
CONTRAST , VOLUME . THIS IS THE SETTINGS YOU WOULD LIKE . SO WHEN YOU PUT YOUR TV ON NEXT TIME ALL THE SETTING WILL BE CORRECT TO YOUR NEEDS

LG 65FL6300 screen issues after power outage

The tcon board and the screen have now been damaged from when there was a power outage and other components inside of the TV might of had got damaged as well too.It would be cheaper to buy a new TV than to try and fix the TV that is no longer working.

Lightning destroys everything it touches. When a modern electronic device gets a shock from lightning, you can bet things you never thought of are damaged. Make an insurance claim and replace the whole set.

37lg30 lcd tv. screen appears bu images jumps and flashes.

Main system control memory IC fault. This is a very small IC; have 8 solder terminals, and can be located very near to the main system control-chroma IC. Check and replace it. Be sure to replace it with the same number printed on it; in all respect. Otherwise, it won't go. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Is the module of lg tv 32ld330-mb affected when theres a lighting strike???is there a chance to be fix??

The damage from a lightning strike tends to be random. Sometimes it's minor, and only a few parts are affected. Other times, many parts are ruined, or destined to fail soon as a result of the current surge.

If the strike came over the power line, the input surge protectors in the power supply should be replaced, even if they look good. It would be prudent to replace the entire power supply. If you had the set plugged into an external surge protector, that should have taken most of the hit and should also be replaced. (Some surge protector manufacturers will pay up to a certain amount for repair or replacement of equipment plugged into their products if it is damaged by lightning.)

If the lightning came over an unprotected input cable, fixing the set would be a gamble. You could end up changing a lot of modules, beginning with the main board.

Only one (out of four total) HDMI input is working on my set.

The HDMI switcher IC chips in TVs can be damaged but lighting hits near you house even if the power is protected with a surge protector. The damaging power comes in through the HDMI port and blows the chip out and it can affect just one port or multiple HDMI ports. Your best bet would be to just get a cheap HDMI switcher and use the one working port. The repair on the TV would require placing the control board and would run from $75-150 for parts plus the labor to install it.

Emerson TV Model #LC401EM2F Fix after lightning?

Lightning damage on LCD TV's can be a doozie. You really need to get it checked out by a qualified technician. I've repaired several TV's hit by lightning, most of the time the damage was limited to the power supply board. However, it is possible that multiple boards were damaged. If multiple boards were damaged, it's not worth repairing the set.

Hi, Could you please advise how can I fix my t.v.

Hello
The memory IC of your TV has damaged. It can be located very near to the main system control IC, an eight terminal one, can be desolder out from the boar very easly. Its number is more important when replacing it. There is no tuning lock occurs with your TV; and the reason is damged memory IC. OK.
