SOURCE: I have a LG 42LC6DF

Either failed 24vdc power supply or shorted out backlight inverter board, but try unplugging it for an hour to let it reset itself first.
First, look at the screen in darkened room to see if you can see any slight glow from the screen, if it does, then the problem can be the T-CON (not getting the 12vdc) or the main logic board not feeding the signals to the T-CON board.
if not, next place to check will be the power supply module, make sure it has 24vdc which is required by the backlight inverter to work, the reason for not having 24vdc can be from bad DC filter caps (leaking/bulging top, high ESR) or short circuits in the inverter board which will cause the 24vdc supply to go into shutdown mode, so you may have to disconnect the power cable that feed the inverter board to see if the 24vdc will work without the inverter board hookup, you will need to apply about 3~4 amp of load to the 24vdc to make sure it can handle that.

Lg model 42lb5600-uz sometimes comes on for 5 seconds then picture goes black with sound

The tv that I have is an LG 42LB5600-UZ, but that wasn't one of the choices. The problem is that the television turns on... has a picture and sound, and then in about 30 seconds, the screen goes black but the sound continues. It is the same on every channel. It worked fine last night, but not today.

LG LCD 42" sound but no picture

From this web site it says:
http://www.ehow.com/about_5379235_lg-television-problems.html
Powering Off
  • Many LG LCD television owners report having a problem with their televisions where the screen powers on, but then lasts only a few seconds or a few minutes before powering itself off again. The problem usually occurs with brand new televisions, and in this case is inside the television itself. If your television is powering off unexpectedly, contact LG so it can be serviced.

I have a LG 50PX1D 50 in. Plasma Television. it turns on and stays my sounds or working fine. but no picture.. i have checked the power board and the capacitors are ok, and the fans are working @ normal...

You need to replace both the Y and X-sustain boards to light the tv. If the voltage is fine from the power supply then those are the only other boards related to lighting the plasma gas.


Thank you!

62SX4D with no sound and won't turn on.

Lamp would be the first thing to check but lamp failure will not cause the picture to be fussy. Lamp only affects brightness. Nor would it cause sound to go out.It could be several thing . Diagnosis by qualified serv tech will be required.

LG "NO PICTURE" , IF FIX WILL RECUR? ,DID LG FIX DESIGN FLAW 42PC3D

I had same problem - no picture, but sound worked - LG 42PC3d - was two months past warranty, but LG agreed to fix it as a warranty call. Service guy was out within a week to replace the Z SUS(?) board. Works fine now. This must be a typical problem, as LG did fix it, even though the warranty had expired. Good luck.
