Top 20 LG 32LX3DC 32 in. LCD HDTV Questions & Answers

It means the set has either a power supply issue or the standby which is part of it is not working.some info;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.

are you trying to just get sound, or you wanting to see your macbook on tv, if so then you can not get video out of an audio socket. If you just want audio then walmart has the adapter on one end they look like earphone jack and on the other it looks like RCA jacks with red white and maybe yellow.

Hi,
It seems problem with LED Back Light System that turns off for a while for some reason.
Since tv is less than year old so it would be under warranty, please call number written on warranty documents for warranty cover, do not attempt to fix it by yourself as is might void tv warranty.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

its all blue no shapes complete blue ?

Hello Dupree71

The first thing I would do as its from a HOTEL is take the LG telly out of HOTEL MODE. follow the steps below, This should allow you to change the settings on the telly and store them. So when you turn the tv back on it will not revert back to the hotel Options

TV turned on. Hold down the MENU button on the remote for approx 5 seconds then type in 1105 this will take you to the LG hidden Menu.

in this menu there will be hotel mode turn this option off.

This will allow you to save your own setting without it jumping back.

When you follow my steps and its sorted for you please leave a thumbs up for me Please

Thanks

you can replace the tv cheaper

You should have a 1 year warranty if purchased new. Probably the main board.

if you are handy with tv's you can open it up. there is a yellowis color board, that is the main power board and there is a fuse, try changing it out and test it.

I Have the same problem, LG 32" , LC2D a couple of work arounds that work are

1) - never unplug the mains plug
2) - i noticed it does this when the clock time is --:-- , i find that switching to digital tv can stop this,

however these are only tempory fixes and the problem re surfices, as i have found out after having no problem for 12 months, i have accidently unplugged the mains, and now the tc keep turning itself off,

No picture or dark picture
Check R516 (56Kohms, 0.5w) or R517 (27Kohms, 0.25w) for high
Will not come out of standby, no picture
If at power on voltage on pin 37 of the micro drops low then reverts to 5v suspect memory chip ICA07 (Toshiba 23319016)
No picture No sound
Faulty IC TDA6107q on crt board
No picture on e-e, I.F output ok
This was due to switching chip IC3901 (M51292FP) on the scart panel

The HDMI cable plugs into the TV and other sources. Make sure you have the correct HDMI cable for your set. Each cable handles both audio and video. Turn it over if it does not fit in. It only fits one way.

You need one cable for each source and your TV has to have at least one jack for each source or you need to buy a switch box, if it has only one and you have several. You then must select the correct source on your TV for the input. Your satellite box (DVD or VHS) each must have a HDMI jack to use this cable on each.

Let me know how you make out.

It is not sensing an input signal. Try using another input source or seek service.

Many TV's with an LG plasma display (or built by LG for other manufacturers) have a manufacturing defect that has been reported widely on the Internet. LG, Akai, Samsung and Zeneth among others.

The sparkles are (usually red) visible on a black background with all inputs after the set has been used approximately one year. Soon after a pop is heard and the picture no longer shows at all.

LG and some other manufacturers using the LG displays have not acknowledged this defect and will only repair them free during the warranty.

Often techs will merely adjust voltages and or picture controls, which does not fix the problem but it just disguises it -- until the display blows -- usually after the warranty expiration.

I own a 42" Akai that is 9 months old that has recently been showing the red sparkles. My set is being replaced.

You should contact service if your set has this problem is under warranty and it should be replaced at no charge.

Good luck. :)

Seen those cable cards get corrupted, take out the card and run straight cable and see what happens

Question edited for clarity. It appears to be an LG rather an an IG. https://www.avforums.com/threads/lg-42lb1db-how-cani-remove-the-swivel-base.519459/ Further Help and videos https://www.google.com/search?q=lg+42lb5df+remove+base+stand ..

Likely a dry connection where the HDMI socket it soldered to the board. https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+PLASMA+TV+MODEL+NO.60PS60-UA+that+is+not+picking+up+the+HDMI Old plasma technology though, time for a new one, as quality has moved on. https://reviewed.usatoday.com/televisions/content/lg-60ps60-plasma-hdtv-first-impressions-review-830 ..
