Repair of the Zenith L20V34S
The power supply is responsible for 90% of failures on this model.
Symptom 1
TV cannot be turned on. It will act as if it is completly dead.
Repair
Replace capacitors C5 and C6, rated at 47uf@35V, 105c, on power supply board. Shield on bottom of PS must be removed first. These caps are small and are located in the middle of the PS up against a heatsink. Select caps that will fit in this small space.
Symptom 2
TV will power up but when the screen comes on it will only flash on for a moment then go dark. Powering off and on will only produce the same flash for a moment.
Repair
Replace C14 and C15, 2200uf@16V, 105c, These filter caps are located near the output connector. When these caps become degraded the inverter board startup current is more than the PS can provide. It is recommended that all four of these caps be replaced at the same time since its very likly they have all become degraded. Don't forget to replace shield.

Is the 2005 model of this TV a high def?

Judging from the specifications from the manufacturer I would say this particular TV does not have HDMI connectivity. The listed input modes are S-Vid, Composite, Component, Tuner, DVI, and RS232. None of those listed inputs have High Definition capacity to the best of my knowledge, and the last two are most commonly used to hook Desktops and Laptops up to a television. HDTV Solutions

Hi i have a Zenith z20la7r lcd tv.Leave it on overnight next day i notice a white appearance in the background of the screen and some color stream at the top. can this problem fix?. is it the board or

I doubt you will damage it unless black or bright blue on screen which could burn the image.

Before trouble shooting I would call Zenith (they are LG) and inquire if this is a known issue in this model and also if any software upgrades exist for this model.

No. I would suspect it being a Optical Block issue. I is not a pretty repair not to mention the cost factor. If you could get in touch with Hitachi Customer Service they could lead you to s service facility that could comfirm what I think.

The key lock is a function that can only be reset with a remote. Go to www.zenith.com and under "support" you'll find product manuals. You can enter your model number and get the manual, but once "key lock" is on, you'll need a remote to change it.
