Hi, I have a lg 37lc2d. I push the power button and the light turns green then after 5 sec, it turns off(black screen). Is there any way I can fix it? Or do I have to go to a repair shop? Looks like a lot of people are having the same problem Im having these TV's need to be recalled.

You will need to take this television to get it repaired. This problem is so common that I expect it to happen to all flat panel tvs and urge people to keep extended warranties until they are ready to purchase another television. The repair person is going to test all of the boards. From opening the rear of the television he will be able to see if any of the capacitors are bad. There has been a big problem with that for years. Please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague
Unfortunately by the time the television has gone completely into a coma and the green light is blinking and it won't come on, the power supply needs to be repaired/replaced along with the motherboard. The motherboard part itself can cost around $300 itself and to repair the power supply it can cost $150 for the labor but even more if it is replaced.

I have an LG model 37lc2d the screen is black but has illumination and no sound at all and the green power light flashes 16 times upon powering up?

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.
