Our LG 47LE5400 screen went black this morning, is the problem the main board, power supply or hopefully not the LCD panel?

The only thing that lights up are the TV buttons on the bottom TV frame (Power button, menu button, vol up, etc.). After the buttons light up for a few seconds, only the power button and the LG light stay lit until we shut off the TV with the remote or by pushing the frame power button. The screen stays black, no backlights are seen with or without the cover on, no images are seen using the flashlight test, no sound, nothing. We can not see any obvious burn marks or bulging components on the front or back of the two panels (power supply panel (part number EAY60803401) w/built-in invertor and LED drivers, main board panel (part number EBU60884302) w/built-in T-Con). Any ideas what to try or test next to eliminate a bad LCD panel?

Sounds like main board fault.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your suggestion, before spending any money replacing the main board, is there any test we can do to ensure that the lcd panel is not bad; we don't mind spending the $$ to replace the boards, we just want to make sure that our panel itself is still ok"

    Hi The main board have no repair. Only replacement can be done; because, in most cases ii will be multi-layered circuit board. Very like the computer motherboards. I think you did got its complication. No fault to the display panel.

To some model sets; especially LED back-lighted types; the back-light inverter circuit will be part of the main power supply board [SMPS]. In such cases, the power supply board might need replacement. To some models sets, the back-light inverter and SMPS section circuit will be integrated at its main board itself. If so; the main board should be replaced. To some models of sets, all these section circuit will be integrated at its main board. If this is the case, you have to replace the main board.

The screen will turn on, but after 2 seconds the screen goes black, the power button stays lit, and sound remains. What could this be?

it could be a bad CCFL lamp, inverter, power supply 24vdc output, or a main board problem. The set will need to be properly diagnosed.

Power went out on LG lcd tv

Those units usually have a main board that all the functions are centralized on. If the LED comes on then your power supply is operating (at least no shorts). But the main board will most likely be the problem.
