Fault with the main power supply regulator section. Either it will be on a separate board, or on the part of its main board.

Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Set is on then, are you using a box of any sort for signal? If so unplug the set and it for several minutes and power back--a box can do this.

First verify that you have the set is plugged into a working outlet. If your outlet is fine, then you are either dealing with a power supply or main board failure. You will need to have the set properly diagnosed to be sure.

Check for loose contacts in power outlet. Switch off TV, switch off power, remove plug and wait for 48 hours and retry.If problem persists, I suggest it is better to refer it to a qualified service technician, since the back cover has to be opened for investigation/rectification.

I see so many here with no sound/nopicture issues:ISSUES: 1. IF sound main fuse/s are good.2. If no power or standby check main fuse, standby power supply and any signsof damage you can see---burnt parts etc.3. almost all these sets the troubleshooting involves checking voltages on the main power board to narrow down theproblem.4. Be safe and if you do not know what you are doing don't open the set.Answers to issues:1. RE:fuses---if a blown fuse is found get a good replacement(not the genericones like Radio Shack). Many fuses are special even aside from amperage--Don'tput a higher rated amperage fuse in the set for any reason.2. RE: power supply in set: if total dead aside from main fuse the set uses astandby power supply that runs 7/24 and a main supply (some are combined andsome not.Here aside from checking fuses you want to examine all the filter caps on thepower/standby to see if any are puffed up or buldged up in some fashion--Iattach a photo of a good one---top should be silver metal and PERFECTLY flatand have no brown material coming out on top or bottom.What happens in the standby area is they use caps with too low a voltage rating(saves money) which causes them to fail in a year or two---the standby runs7/24 and the heat dries out the caps and they fail.3. Trouble shooting consists of the above and then at some point you have to buyand try a board to see if it fixes it or not.4. Safety first--no TV set is worth getting injured or even killed over.If set is opened at least look for puffed up and bad caps like in thisphoto.

Consider having a shop look at it--one who does authorized warranty work.You might also call LG to see what if any known issues for this model are.

Maybe the disk is not compatible with the DVD player version

You can't, the LG DVD Remote is single frequency. If you are lucky, the LG Television Remote, might control an LG DVD. If you have lost a remote, have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

This is the Power Board for it. check those 6 electrolytic Capacitors on the right for bulging or splitting. Don't buy it blindly, it's a guess. The output voltages with a digital multimeter. https://applianceparts.com/item/10217204/LG/EAY62812602/ Many parts are obsolete. eBay has used boards, but they are risky because they are out of scrapped sets. https://www.google.com/search?q=50PN5300-UF+power+board We have a television expert named Larry, but I haven't seen him for a while.

It can't be done. The DVD remote will be single frequency for that device only and the LG remote for that LG Blu Ray (or series) only. Companies don't make cross-control between makers easy. The only exception is cable and satellite boxes to allow their remote to also control the television. If you have lost a remote or it doesn't work, this is the answer https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

Clean the Lens: Use a DVD cleaning disc to clean the lens. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning. Test Other Discs: Try playing different DVDs to see if the issue occurs consistently. If it's specific to one disc, that disc might be the problem. Check for Updates: Make sure your DVD player's firmware is updated. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for firmware updates. Try a Different TV: Connect your DVD player to a different TV to see if the noise disappears. If it does, the issue might be with your TV. The hum is simply the player trying to read the disc. It can't so, it spits it out. Remember that prolonged use of a malfunctioning DVD player could potentially cause damage. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or replacement
