LG 42LN5400-UA.BUSYLHR back lights not working, sound working, flashlight test shows video working.

Brand: LG. Model: 42LN5400-UA BUSYLHR. No backlighting. Backlights flash briefly upon power up. Audio works normally. Video image confirmed on screen with flashlight. Voltage at LED connection point on power supply is 58.6 vDC at both positive wires on plug / connector. Voltage at LED connection point on power supply with LED connection plug unplugged at both positive pins is 58.6 vDC. Rated voltage for LED connection printed on power supply circuit board is: HIGH=105v, LOW=70v. This sounds like a power supply issue but I would like to confirm with one who has a better knowledge of the conditions / symptoms given.

This is a common problem for LG 42LN5xxx & 47LN5xxx LED TVs, the problem is defective LED back lights strips, it has nothing to do with main power supply & the main board.

    Yes, after further disassembly, which I was not really wanting to do, I tore down the entire TV and checked the light strips and found 1 open short bad LED, I've ordered new light strips, but in the mean time I simply jumpered across the LED connection and it allowed the circuit to be complete and all light strips light as normal. Now when the new light strips arrive I know that all my hard work paid off.

    Thank you to City View TV & Computer, I appreciate you getting back to me and helping me get this TV back working.

Good Day;
Make sure when measuring voltages that your'e on the proper ground, all TV's this day has two grounds. The HIT has #'s near the components, LED's that light or do not light. YES, get info to trouble shoot further.

SOURCE: I have LG 42LN5300 which is reading 230VDC at led + plug and no back lights. All other voltages going to main board are OK, I changed main board because of flickering on and off screen, so is it MB

Back - light problem. Check and replace damaged component/s at its back-light inverter board, or replace this board as card basis. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. It will be best to replace the inverter board as card basis. http://electro-medical.blogspot.com/
To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

Testimonial: "I ordered and replaced inverter board, no change, picture is still dim pulsating while everything else works. Power board is separate on this model, so anyone know why voltage is 230VDC at LED+ point when it says on board it should be 157VDC for 42 inch, could it be the MAP3202 IC which causes higher voltage, or another component?"

Have LG 42LY540S-UA no picture has sound. Can see picture and menu with a flashlight. Can't see any back lights

These are not easy to fix, you need to replace either the led light strings or the power supply. You need take the unit apart and have to have the space to do so.

LG TV Model 55LE5500-UA. no sound no picture has power.

This problem is related to the mainboard and should be replaced. You can try to heat up the microprocessor with a heat gun though best solution is to replace mainboard. Part number is EBU60864321.

Hope this helps!

My LG TV Model # 47LW6500-UA powers on (based on standby light turning from red to white), but screen is black, no sound, and negative flashlight test. Which part is most likely needing replacement? Main...

Going to need more information to help much, what do the various power board rails look like?...are they all good?

Going by the fact this set has had a lot of main board failures I'd lean towards that board but its just a guess without knowing some voltage measurements

My TV is a LG 47LN5700-UH I had a lightning strike near the house. Afterward TV would start but not boot completely. Now it won't start at all. Cable box also got fried at the same time.

The led driver AND the T-con board are bad. If you could see a picture with the flashlight then the T-con board would be good. It is not. The led driver can be on the main board or the power supply board. You can get these parts from here: TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy

TV has sound but no picture

The Audio and Video are two separate components and operate independently of each other. Therefore: The Video portion requires technical repair by a technician with the proper test equipment.

My LG tv model number 42LN5400-UA no picture

It is a common problem for the LG 42/47 LN series LED TV, the problem is defective LED back lights strip (strips).

You have to open the display panel to find the bad one & replace it. The part number usually is printed on the strips, read 6916L-11XXA, you may purchase it from EBay.

Ive got a LG 55" LED tv model #55LA6200 it will turn on and show the LG screen then goes black after a few seconds. Audio works and i can see the screen with flashlight which part do i need.

This could be the power supply at 55 dollars or the LED back light strips that are about 80. Unless you know how to test them, it is a toss up. Most of the time it is the led strips though. http://www.shopjimmy.com/lg/55la6200-ua
