hi

the chassis is the LD73A and after 15 mins there's no backlight the audio stays on for a while, then the appliance switches to standby, searching around the web looks like the problem is the power supply board..does anybody know where exactly the problem can be and if it can be fixed without replacing power supply?

thanks

Hi jcost
Sounds like a fault I had on a similar LG model. Check out my post on 23. 04. 09. as it has info on an LG modification to cure tripping to standby. Thanks also to tv tony for the details. These smd inductors are on the main pcb near the power board connector and have screened connections to chassis making them fiddly to replace. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the print.
Regards
John.

hi Contrast john

i took a quick look on the topic you told me...and it seems the problem is not quite the same...

the power supply got replaced today but the problem persists...the TV works fine for 10 monutes
then it flickers and then theres no backlight and goes into stand by.

Hi all
Thought this was going to be an easy one, but after replacing the domed and split electrolytics on the 5 volt line (power board) I was left with exactly the same symptom - relay clicking continuously at about 10 second intervals but the set not starting. While the relay is energised all voltages marked on the psu output socket are present and correct. Suspect some damage further downstream on the signals panel, possibly a damaged regulator or corrupt eprom. Has anyone encountered this situation before, or does anyone have a service manual / schematics for this model. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
John.

and you responded

Go to the sm eeprom ic that sits near the LVDS plug on main pcb.Short the data & clock pins (?) on this ic,switch on and when relay clicks remove short.
Tv should come on,enter service mode(sorry no info),set tuner to auto & select reset.
Thats all the info I have and never had to test it out.

Best of luck tv john.

i hope i'm not looking at the wrong posts... please give me more details because i don't think i understand the connection between the two problems.

since the replacement of the power supply didn't fixed anything i was about to believe that the CCFLs either they draw too much or too less current and the TV goes into stand by, but currently i don't have any replacement CCFLs so i can be sure.

indeed! :biggrin2:

so..what's the case with these inductors? looks way to easy so the problem can be fixed...

as i said before still i haven't tested the CCFLs for defection because i don't have CCFL tester or replacement parts so i can exclude any possibility.

hello, my company processes about 1500 lg sets a month and as such are account holders and we often fault find for lg, the sympoms you describe exhibit these faults, the ceratech filters (posh inductors) chokes, or whatever you may want to call them go leaky down to deck, i posted a shot from lg describing the fault, and if, as you say, you dont have any ccfl's what have you to lose, it would eliminate the issue for you, best regards,

Sorry if I post a different topic :mellow:

help with LG-32LC56 with audio stops and only after removing the current goes back into operation.

P.S. Please be soft updates

thanks

I'd of thought the inverter would be the most likley cause of the fault, Check the 24v to see if its still there,

regards
Andy

i sent the memo from lg, the filters control, among other things, the control and brightness ctrl of the inverors, they go s\c (int)
by all means monitor the 24 line but you will need a min\max meter because if the 24 drops even by a small amount this will turn the lights out, i posted the bulletin from lg earlier in this topic, we havent had a single bouncer
