LG Television: Loud bang then tv powered off

Sat, 11 Mar 2023 06:43:31 -0700

Hi. I wonder if someone can help

Just a few minutes of turning on the TV there was a loud bang then the tv power was lost. There was no smoke or smell. It appears that there is a tiny component with black around it on the power board.

I was advised by someone that I could replace the blown component on the board, but that could mean the cause of it to blow could still be there and was advised to get a new power board.

I contacted LG but they said they don’t sell internal boards to private individuals. I looked on ebay and found several boards that looked identical but was warned by the sellers that the numbers had to match up. It wasn’t clear where i find these numbers as it just said sticker and the only sticker i could find looked more like a serial number. Also these boards were around 50€ which seems expensive for a second hand part I have no guaranty is going to work itself

Can someone tell me what would be my best course of action? Especially if they have had a similar experience. The TV is jsut over 6 years old. Its an LG 42LN5708

Sony Television: Got a new Tcon board but now getting an error.

Sun, 18 Dec 2022 22:19:52 -0700

I recently had my picture go out on my Sony XBR 900E TV. After some research it seemed the reason was a bad Tcon board. I made sure I got the right model and that the new board had the same ID number as the old one. Well after instalation, when I turned the TV on I no longer even have the back light tun on and the LED blinks green and red. I put the old board back in and it tuned on as normal but still no picture. So my situation is: Old card has sound and black light but no picture. New card has no backlight and blinking LED. Did I just get a bad new card, or am I missing something here?

Vizio Television: Vizio M55-C2 - Will not turn on

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 15:36:41 -0700

M55-C2 Vizio TV, serial LWZASBAR variant.

Issue: Was playing a game and half the screen went to static. I turned off the tv to power cycle and was unable to turn it back on. The power light comes on, but nothing shows on the screen.

Have tried:

Unplugging and plugging back in
Holding power button for 15 seconds
Using remote/power button to turn on the tv
Unplugging for 30 seconds, while also holding the power button during the time

Which part of the TV should I look at replacing?

Vizio D-Series 50-inch LED TV: Can’t get rid of red vertical line on Vizio tv screen.

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 07:34:28 -0700

I have a permanent red line going down the left hand side of my Vizio TV . It’s there even when the tv is on but the screen is black. Model M70-C3

Here is a photo.

i have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the cables to the tc board and the pressing at the cables going to the screen by the line both did nothing to change the line.

Pressing on the screen will make the line slightly fade for a split second or two but then the red line of pixels just comes back. The line also fades toward the bottom of the screen for the last 6 inches or so.

Lg smart tv: Is this a reasonable fix or should I buy new?

Sat, 16 Apr 2022 17:51:36 -0700

[image|2628444]I've had an LG smart tv for about 8 months. One day I began having strange color Distortions that seem to bleed from certain objects as they pass. It's not an all the time occurrence.  If you look near the pause icon and near Rikers throat you can see it. Most of the time it's colors spilling off moving logos and yellows and greens playing off each other.

I typically noticed during gaming and non animated shows. I've swapped HDMI cables, tried all available ports, done a factory reset, and used different video game consoles. Is there a fix or this tv shot? Thanks.

TV screen will not turn on. No audio either. Replaced both power supply and motherboards! Standby light is on and it seems to take commands from remote. Need to fix this ASAP FOOTBALL SEASON!

T-Con board lights up at LED indicators

I ordered a new one regardless but this is the last check. Not too sure if replacing the LEDs is worth the risk. Any other checks I’m missing?

Vizio D-Series 50-inch LED TV: Vizio TV blinking problem

So I have. Vizio 55 inch 1080p smart TV. Model number E55-d0. It turns on and the whole picture blinks on and off every second or so. I've tried clearing the ram and resetting everything with no luck. I currently have the back cover off and don't see anything wrong with the capacitors. But there is a small burn on one of the boards it looks like. If you'd like a picture of something specific or closer let me know thank you!

LG Television: How do I find a universal LCD driver board matching my LCD panel?

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 13:10:54 -0700

A couple years ago, I managed to extend the life of my LCD TV using a very basic trick. I thought the main board was fried, but ironically, baking it fixed it :-D.

The whole story is here: 42LD75LGD: No sound and no input/output. Main board fried? if someone’s interested in the background.

Anyway, now the mainboard is fried for good (after being baked 4 times), and I want to find a universal board, but I have no idea how to find one that matches my LCD panel. The panel model is LC420WUH (SC)(M1). Back then @oldturkey03 had kindly helped and found the specs sheet for the panel: LC420WUH-SCM1-LG.pdf .

When looking for generic boards online, most of them need to be connected to a T-CON board, but this particular TV doesn’t have a T-CON. It seems to be embedded in the main board.

So my question is quite simple: how do I go about finding a generic board that matches the LCD panel? I’ve spent hours looking for it using search engines, online shops (from big ones to small ones) and other resources, but no luck so far.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
