LG LED TV has no picture (black screen) but still has sound - can it be fixed?

[jreddy]

My 32' LG LED TV has suddenly lost picture! The sound is alright but the screen is pitch black. After switching it on the picture flashes for a second and then the screen goes completely black. I have unplugged everything, tried to reset it, no good.

PLEASE HELP!

Same thing happened to my lg yesterday. It's about 55". Same red light flashes, I get a peek at the screen for a second then it goes black. We bought it from a coworker so no warranty? Is it going to be a money pit? Also can hear sound perfectly as well.

Mine did this a couple of days ago. It's a common problem after 2-4 years. Watch this https/www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf5T2wwtydY

Cost of a second hand tested board here in the uk was £22.

Hi,
Where can I find that power board?
Thanks

Yes, it can be fixed, just about anything can be fixed unless you threw it off your roof and then ran it over with a tank. Is it worth fixing? Probably not for a 32" TV, by the time you pay someone to look at it, buy the parts, it will cost almost as much as a new or a used working TV.

I bought the 65 inch LGUltra HD 4K Smart LED TV (Model #65UB9200) 3 weeks ago, and I have had this happen several times in the past week. I called LG support and they are sending out a local repair service to take a look. Tomorrow I have to call the repair service to schedule a time, hopefully they can accommodate my wife and I's work schedule. I am not happy to have this happen so soon on an expensive TV. I'll keep you posted what happens.
FYI - I bought the TV and had it installed by P.C. Richards

Hello I was wondering if you had any success on your LG LED TV ? I have a 50" LG HDTV and it just happened to me.
I did call the LG hotline and because its under 1yr they are sending out a repair guy, but what ended up happening to your tv did you get it fixed?

Thanks, Irishgogirl

Hi Irishgogirl,

I also have a 50' one, 3D. I'm having same issue. I got mine 2 years ago, so no warranty. Did the technician tell you anything on what had happened?

Thanks,

Hey Irishgogirl! This is actually happening to me now. I also have a 50" LG TV. I purchased mine almost 2 years ago though, so it is not under warranty. Did they tell you what was wrong?

My LG 50" tv screen went black but still has sound. Can see very little in the background at certain angles. Less than 3 yrs old. Has anyone had any success in fixing on their own. I'll never by a LG again, last year had a horizontal line going thru it

Push it off the stand , claim on your insurance .
Absolute waste of time keep having older lg sets repaired , the boards have sub par components & it'll just happen again in the near future.
Repaired my own 3 times (lg ps3000 50inch ) - ended up costing near the price of a new set in the end

The picture on my LG 39LN5700 went out 3 months after purchase. Repair man fixed it and it went out again 2 years later. (2 weeks ago). I am in the process of replacing tv thru warranty company. Seems that man have this problem with LG.

Also to note the red led at the bottom of the tv, flashes 2-3 times.
