LG55LE5400 white lines, bad tuner board?

First of all, thanks in advance for reading this and trying to help me figure this one out. I have a 2 year old LG55LE5400. It is a 55" LED TV. A few months ago the picture would randomly cut out and white vertical lines would appear to "grow" into the screen. We would unplug the TV for a while and later come back and it would be fine. Well, yesterday it decided it is here to stay! I left it unplugged for 24 hours, tried different inputs, etc. The white lines are different in appearance, sometimes real bad, sometimes just a few. The TV still processes audio, if I have my dish on I can still hear the channels just cannot see anything but these white lines. Does anybody have any ideas? I'm assuming the tuner board is shot. Any information would be greatly appreciated

You will definately want to call LG and have them refer you to an auth. service center for warranty repair. This is either a failed scan bd or mayber even a bad plasma panel and there is nothing simple for a problem as you describe.

SOURCE: I replaced the Y and Z boards. Screen lights, but have new prob.

Hello,

I have been through the LG TV runaround, and I can tell you that it isn't easy. On the same unit that you are currently working on, the part numbers of the parts you received may or may not be correct. LG (Zenith) uses slightly different parts for the same model, and it really is kind of a gamble on which ones are right. They do not keep track of parts by serial number, and on different TV's of the same model, I have been through 8 control boards (on one set!), 4 sets of X and Y sus boards (on one set), digital boards, and so on and so on. The people are nice in LG's tech services, and they will admit to the fact that it may take several of the same parts to get it right.

My shop has decided not to work on LG or Zenith for this and other reasons. The turnaround time to get a TV back out of the door is ridiculously long because of the wait time with parts going back and forth.

In short, you have the right boards, but they may be the wrong boards. Maddening, isn't it?

Hope this helps you...

Hi,
Problem seems with main tuner in this tv as other AV inputs working fine so please replace main tuner (TU2) to solve this issue.
There are two tuners mounted on A board TU1 and TU2, please replace TU2 and part number would be written on tuner itself.
TV is approx 10 years old so I would recommend that do not spend lots of money on it.
Thanks.

Radio plays upon startup but withing minutes message says searching for signal then antenna not found. replace antenna?

No, it's the Sirius Tuner. If it's 2 or so years old, there's a bad ground on the antenna port pc board. If your tuner is roughly 6"x6"x1" it's the one. The new tuners will not have this issue and are considerably better built. (DEI) is the manufacturer of the new unit. If you don't mind rebuilt, you can save 40 or 50 on a repaired tuner. The repaired tuners are very reliable since they upgraded the board with one that's durable. Hope this helps

Distorted Picture

I don't think that the cable is your problem. Set may have a defective tuner or small signal board. (Tuner is soldered onto the small signal board).

Most likely fix is to find and replace the small signal board with tuner. Should be able to find one for less than $200.

Another thing to try is your video inputs. Use external devices such as a DVD play hooked you using proper video lines and check you inputs. Are they doing the same thing as your cable? If not, then it maybe just a tuner. Some makes and models won't allow you to solder in a new tuner without a full board replacement, but this however may allow you to hookup a VCR with a tuner built in and from VCR to your TV using video input jacks and then programming the VCR tuner to all your cable channels may get your set watchable again without having to tare it apart and replacing a board. However if your input jacks are distorting like the cable channels are, then a small signal board replacement is a must for your set.

Good luck!

Digital Tuner and Thanks

ok in the setup menu. when you program your channels It have the option for digital tuner analog tuner or both. if you do not have this you may have a problem with your digital tuner board also known as admin board. it the board that sits above the green signal board, check the cables that go to that board make sure connectors are good.

P42W46X Zenith Plasma - No Picture - Mostly Yellow on screen

Mine looks like too, but the line running across isn't on my set, picture looks like this, and the sound works fine. I took the tuner board all the way out and turned the set on and it did the same thing, then I unplugged the top wire on the board next to the tuner board and the screen went black. plugged it back in and the screen came back with the scrambled picture. Anyone know why? Bad mainboard maybe? the left of the tuner board?

Top of the screen Picture Problem

sound like you have 1 or a couple of leaky/bad capacitors in the tv's vertical circuit, typically, there sould be 5 to 10 caps. in all, but you just need 1 bad one to cause your problem. good luck.
