Same problem, fixed it with an 89 cent capacitor. TV is an LG 50PA5500, two and a half years old. Suddenly stopped working...would switch it on and it would immediately turn off. Inspection of the main power board showed C802, a square capacitor at the top of the board between the transformer and heatsksink was bulging at the sides. Found the part, 0.022UF 1.25KVDC, on DigiKey at $0.89 + ~$3 shipping. Replaced, TV working like new again.

If the tv unit goes to safety mode after you turn on that was mean an error was detected. check for bad component parts at y and z sustain board.

Why wont my lg 50 plasma tv turn

Perhaps replace your power cord. Borrow power cord from repair shop. If it works it's the cord. Also if the TV is plugged into power bar make sure the power bar hasn't been inadvertently turned off.

LG Plasma TV automatic turn off right after turn on

You have some dried out capacitors on the power supply. Samsung has a major issue with this right now and I made a tutorial for that repair in my Tips & Tricks. Your capacitors will not be the same, but identifying them and replacing them will be. Best advise I can give you: Stop using the TV and unplug it until you get it fixed. When these caps go bad, they draw down the voltage they are filtering. I've seen some TVs that had secondary damage because of this. I hope this was of some assistance, best wishes.
