LG 42LD560 LCD TV

Unit will not switch on. Just sits there with a blinking red light that flashes endlessly. 3.5V rail on pwr supply board is always good. And the 12V and 20V rails also are switched and energised when the power is attempted to be turned on by pressing the side power on button. Its at this time that the front red LED blinks endlessly. Any ideas what could be wrong?

SOURCE: Red power indicator light is blinking

The flashing light indicates a short circuit inside the power supply circuitry. This type of repair is not a DIY without a multimeter, desoldering iron and hand soldering skills. I repair these power supplies, if you need further info write to [email protected]

Hi syzonker
Before you replace the power supply , check for swollen(rounded top)capacitors.
Also check and replace C126 47mfds/50 volts
And C520 1000mfds/16 volts
good luck and let me know if you need further help

Yes it does sound like the mainboard. But we have to confirm. I will see if there is a service manual for this unit in my collection but do you think you can safely work on it? Have you worked on electronics before? The last thing I want is you hurting yourself trying to fix it. HV circuits are not to be messed with unless you know about them.

SOURCE: Heard a popping sound unit

10 blinks on this set is not a power supply fault but rather an A-board fault(Main A/V board). Hence replacing power supply would not do the trick. I suggest you return the board and get an A-board for +50$ and I am confident that it will resolve your problem.

Check BL_ERR pin on back light inverter board, what is volt reading that you get before and after tv shuts down? Let me know to proceed.
Thanks.

BTW, I really enjoyed your quote * I don't trust the blinking anymore *

LG 55LN5700 LED TV. Screen went black, audio works. Flashlight test, able to see pic moving. Replaced LED strips & pwr board. Try turn on, LEDs blink 1x and red light flashes 3x. Let it sit 8hr

Replace the jack wires going to the LED strips. Or look for the one bad jack wire going to the LED's and fix it. Use a volt meter on ohms to find the bad wire.

Lg 47lw5700 not powering on, red standby light blinks. Removed back panel and tested power supply board.

3.3 is the right reading on the power switch on pin...so the main is telling the power board to turn on like it should be, your power board is bad.

Red light power button just flashes slowly. Blank screen, no back lights. Performed flashlight test and can't seen menu.

These blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/
Blinking codes details of many popular brand TVs are given. Surf the site with patience. If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.

Normally continious flashes of standby LED indicates a main board failure. Anyway, count the number of blinks as stated above, and make sure about the fault. Contact any service technician.

LG 42LD560 LCD TV POWER PROBLEM

While you checked the condensers, did you look for faulty connections? places where the solder has a little crack?
And did you check visually, or did you check electronically? In a power supply lots of things can go wrong. More than alone a capacitor with a rounded head.

TV won't turn on. flashes a series of 5 red lights instead of turning green

Usually Sony and LG Blinking Codes are the same. Here is what I have.
  • Unit is dead, No blinks - Problem in the standby power section. Might check fuse,
  • Continuous blink once a second, no pausing - No reply from the jungle IC301 (data bus is busy, shorted to ground, or held high), IK video path is defective.
  • One blink - not used for the self-diagnosis
  • Two blinks - B+ over current protection (OCP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 2 blink fault. Could be a short in the power supply of any of the circuits.
  • Three blinks - B+ over voltage protection (OVP), unit goes to the standby mode then displays the 3 blink fault. This is also a problem in the power supply circuit,
  • Four blinks - No vertical Deflection (V STOP), Screen goes to a single horizontal line then the video signal muted.
  • Five blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.
  • Six blinks - No Horizontal (H STOP), no raster, goes to the blinking self-diagnosis function immediately.
  • Seven blinks - High voltage shutdown. The high voltage has exceeded 33k and the unit goes immediately into safety shutdown. Check power supply regulation and horizontal circuits.
  • Eight blinks - Problem with the audio (AUDIO), unit goes to standby and blinks the self-diagnosis code.
  • Nine blinks - Panel Module Error or Thermal Error. If it is intermittent 9 blinks, meaning sometimes the TV comes on and other times you get flashing Make sure the regulator is -12 or -13 (negitive).
  • Ten blinks - Check Q8014 and Q8013 for shorts, leakage, or bad solder connections on the " D" board. If the transistors are bad, check R8051 and IC8005, also on the "D" board.

Tv keeps clicking red light blinking but doesnt come on first it was fifteen minutes then thirty now an hour and it i still not on?

the red light blinks due to a problem in the power supply or deflection circuit, this usually happens when one or two components start changing specified value or just entirely go out. Some samsung tvs do have replaceable boards but you still need to pinpoint the problem to a certain circuit board, either deflection or power board. It may be worth it to call a service tech and describe the problem to get a good idea on the repair cost.

Red blinking light when tv is turned off

You can't fix it. There is a bad board in this set; either the main board or the power supply board. You'll have to call a professional.

Red blinking light

The red light blibking 6 times indicates that the power supply board has a defective or damaged area. I know this because i had the same problem...bought a damaged tv for parts and replaced the power supply board as the tv would not turn on...wokrs like a charm now.
