My 37LG30 tv started out with turning itself on in the middle of the morning, scaring everyone in the house. Now ive checked there is no auto timer set, and no buttons on the remote are pushed in. Furthermore, it always shows the input mode bar in the bottom, and although i try selecting another input, it keeps going back to air. Also, i feel some of the actual buttons on the side of the tv are not respongin accordingly either. My question is, is there some kind of factory reset i can push on this thing, to straighten him out??? or maybe pull a fuse, that will reset it automatically...??? Please, i have had this tv for some time now, and we have grown to love and care for each other, i would hate to see her go :S

The main board is having issues as that would account for the different symptoms. You should be able to get a replacement main board from www.tvrepairworld.com

SOURCE: LG RZ-23LZ40 no Picture

Thanks Jaime867

Best send repair manual.

I have pics to show / identify problem but I cannot attach to my reply. Parts defective are: 4532M x 2 (UC2 & 3), diode next to diode RC22 & cap C35 and IC6 (cannot see part number). Board number is YPNL-M007B r1.0, also recognized L.G. Phillips part number: LC230W01-A2

My hands are not as steady as years ago to do surface mount solerering but my wife can as she has done this before being electronic equipment assembler.

As stated before I need to find source of what I suspect is short that had blown these components.

I bet a replacement board is more expencive than a new LCD TV!, but I want to resolve this prob and maybe help others...LG too.

Thanks Heaps Jaime867!

SOURCE: Remote not working anymore for my LG 42PQ20. Ive tried changing

call LG if you think the TV is not accepting the signal from the remote the TV may have a fault in it. If you have any universal remotes try programing them to control the TV if they work but the other does not it is remote.

SOURCE: TV has a mind of it's own. I turn it off & it

It might be something as simple as stuck buttons on the TV. If you open the back, try disconnecting the lead that goes there. Maybe work? You'll be forced to use the remote, of course.

How to scare out a snake from garage

Suzanne,
Use moth balls to drive it out. They do not like the smell and I have heard of good success with that. I will probably be doing the same around my house since my wife caught one inside. Hope this helps!

My Samsung TV model LE46C580J1K started with problems yesterday when for no reason in the middle of watching a programme the picture went red and looked like a colour negative photograph. I couldn't change...

Sounds like main board fault. Contact any service technician, or the authorized service center to confirm. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Viewing it in "Mosaic" or "Magazine" will make surf easy Pull up older posts. Surf the site with patience.

Sound on Tv is turning on by itself

It (or something connected to it) is checking for firmware updates. Check the menu settings. Also check any device connected via scart to the TV.

Washer turns on by itself. (Once in the middle of the night)

i have the whirlpool top loader also. Was not quiet a year old, starts running at random by itself. They sent the repair man out got lectured that it was my fault (too much soap, washer is in basement, I need to call an electrician to check the wiring). Now it drips water into the inside of the washer.
I can see it will eventually be cheaper to replace than call the repairman back.... Won't be a Whirlpool

JVC PD-42WV74 tv turned itself off and unable to turn it back on. Green light blinks on receiver and TV.

Unplug the TV set, after a few minutes, plug it back again. If you are lucky, the TV will be okay!

Starting by itself

Time for a service call. Should not turn on by itself at any cause. Circuit board is my guess. May be cheaper/easier to get new microwave. My first one lasted about 15 yrs--and the circuit board (touchpad) died. Bought new microwave oven.
