I have a LG 42PG6010 that will not let me change inputs, also when swithed on the green power light flashes 5 times before set comes on to digital tv. It will not change to Sky when box switched on and as stated I can not change through the AV input button although the graphic comes on screen allowing me to select AV1 (sky input) but on presing OK it freezes on screen, I then have to switch off and back on again. the other thing is it takes 20/25 seconds to switch off.

Your lamp has probably failed. You can buy a new bulb for under $100. http://projectorlamps.com/lg-zenith-dlp-tv-lamp-ru52sz51d-bulb.html RU52SZ51D Bulb LG Genuine High Quality Original Projector Lamps now...

Remove one at a time the Y sus and Y buffer cables that go to the power board and see if the set stays on then, you may have a distorted pic, replace the board that makes the set stay on...there are some transistors on the buffer board that give issues a lot and I'd guess that's where your issue is at

Things to check: Make sure your TV is set to the correct input.
I DK about the light flashing 16 times but that could be a stuck key on your remote control. If you can, urn off your remote and try turning on by hand and going through the "INPUT" choices to make sure you have it on the correct setting. BTW, if your TV is 5 years old, you'll make the money back in no tie if you get a new "Energy Star" TV. The new Energy Star TVs run on very little electricity compared to 5 years ago.

Change the power supply board. Do a google, ebay or shopjimmy.com search with your model number for price and availibility. Be sure to match the numbers from your board to theirs. Take the back off the set and trace the power supply via the AC plug up wires.

Try a different outlet.

If that still isnt the case then it could be the power supply went on it..

2. Locate the 5-digit code for your TV (see pages 13-16).
3. Move the slide switch to TV.
4. Press and hold in the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same
time until the green light under the TV icon flashes twice
and then release both keys.
5. Using the number keys enter the 5-digit code for your
brand of TV. If performed correctly the green light
under TV will flash twice.
6. Aim the remote at your TV and press the power key
once. The DIRECTV Receiver should turn off. If it does
not turn off, repeat steps 3 and 4, trying each code for
your brand until you find the correct code.

Depending on how you set up your remote, the VOL and MUTE may control the volume only on your TV, regardless of the position of the MODE switch. This remote can be set up so that the VOL and MUTE keys work only with the component selected by the MODE switch. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:

Hi,
I can see you are frustrated so I'll see if I can help. Here are the Akai TV codes:
10812, 10702, 10030, 10672, 10060

As you can see, they are 5-digits for the direct remote, not 4.
This should help!

Press in together the menu button and the Device/input button on the set and hold them both in together for 5 seconds and see if the led will blink a two digit error code, then respond to this same post and let me know if it gave a error code and what the two digits were.
