My LG42PC1DA TV comes on but the screen is all a green colour and has to warm up, also if I try to use the remote to find channels the tuning in just freezes and doesn't finish.Also you can see old images in the background as well. Could you tell me if it will cost a lot to get it repaired thanks. Jason

hi
well to bad it looks like you have a bad tuner
I would suggest to use your cable box if you have a remote or it and connect your cable box in video mode or use a vcr in the same maner

needs a Y-Sustain board, about a 300 dollar part, unless you have a warinty, also try turning the tv on, after you get a green light, unplug the tv, after 15 seconds plug it back in, sometimes will make tv come back on

well .... no online user manuals for thoseTVs
you will need to use a digital seck top box and use that units remote to tune the TV

if there are any (needs a user manaual)
use the buttons on the TV lower casing
to tune up


none of the all in ones remote buttons work for all TVs functions
you are lucky if it turns on and off
and changes channel

How to remove the green number three from the right corner of the tv screen without having the original remote as the cable company suggested.

With the TV on normal picture, no menus on

1 press and hold menu on the handset until the overview page appears
2 press menu again
3 put the cursor on channel 1
4 press and hold the button at the bottom of the remote with white around it until the tv starts tuning. Wait for it to finish.
5 hide delete insert etc the channels as you want them using the coloured buttons as shown on the screen

Sounds like he accidently put it in parental lock, the remote should have the "key", the user instruction book will have the answer also. Hope this helps

I believe you are getting mixed up between channels and programs. Normally program 00 is used for VHS as it has slightly different parameters for colour and brightness. If the TV has about 39 or more programs which can be programmed in from the on screen menu, try using program 20 for the video and 30 for the cable. For this to work you must do the on screen frequency scanning from channels 22 to 69 (UK) and select VCR, CATV, VHF, UHF, etc. I have used program 00 and 20 for two VHS recorders, working on channel 33 and 35 for example, but you must tune them to 33 and 35 on the `Tune' screwdriver hole by the aerial input sockets of the recorders. I expect if your cable unit plugs into your aerial socket of the TV that it has an adjustment for what channel it is on. The TV on screen menu may be different in some countries, so it would help if I knew where you are.
