Suddenly, all three HDMI Ports won't receive a signal. Help!

Hi James, The main board of your TV is not accepting HDMI input. You can use another AV input to watch the TV or you have to change the main board.

TV wont turn on sometimes. push the on button, light turns from red to blue but no display or sound. If I disconnect the power cord for 15-20 min and plug it back in to the tv it will turn on and stay

My Samsung started doing that and it got worst and worst. Searched the web and find answer. It was the high voltage circuit. All TVs now are like computer and it check for 390 to 400 volts and if it is below, the TV will not turn on. Good thing the Samsung has only one capacitor showing the high voltage circuit. Measure the voltage was 381 volts. The capacitor was rated at 100 uf at 450 volts. From some old TV and power supply, got two capacitors rated 150 uf and 220 uf both at 400 volts. Had to connect them in parallel and took out the old capacitor. Now, my TV works fine.

There may be another code in the code list that performs more functions. Try other codes from the code list for more functionality. This is a trial and error procedure; and quiet time consuming. You might have to check different codes said for your device. Search the site by type in the "brand name" to your device; in the "Search box at the top right of the display window " to get gathered related posts. .

Lg tv has flashing warning

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/ http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/

Not receiving cable signal

If the video from your DVD player is good, it suggests that your problem is not the video board! Have you swapped the cable coming in with a "known" good one? Also, have you got your source selection set for DVD player still, and not CATV? That's all I can suggest with the info. available. Hope this helps!

How do I replace the IR sensor?

If you took the batteries out of your remotes to change them, they possibly lost their programming and need to be reprogrammed. I drop my controller often and have to reprogram it. All of the lights light up but the TV appears dead. Either find your control programming guide or look it up on the internet how to reprogram your remote.

Does it display digital channels

Check its user manuals' specification page. If the set has digital reception capability, the details will be there. If it has no digital tuner, nothing can be done. Gopakumar Gopalan Google
