20 Most Recent LG 50PB4D 50 in. Plasma HDTV Questions & Answers

audio lag is normal for many TV's.

Is there a solution without replacing main board ?

LG have a firmware upgrade on thier website for this issues. I did it on mine - worked a treat.

If you are in Australia and have no sound on GEM and 7-Mate, follow the instructions here, to update the TV's (LG 50PB4D-AA) firmware. Once done you will receive sound on these channels.

yes it is, and yes it can. BUT it maybe a difficult problem to determine if it is intermittent, you will be best served waiting until it fails "Hard On" otherwise it may take some time to find the intermittent fault. http://www.retrevo.com/support/LG-50PB4D-TVs-manual/id/3068bh134/t/2/

Off-Air reception (Antenna) of TV Guide comes from a supplier called Rovi (formally known as Macrovision, Gemstar). They have supplied your local CBS affiliate with a TV Guide application known as SCTE 127 or VBI in MPEG. Follow these steps until you have found a solution to the TV Guide - No Information Available.

1. Check to see if your local CBS station is coming in clearly not tiling.

2. Reset your TV Guide through your TV Guide Menu, for more information copy and paste the link below. (What usually works for me is setting up the guide by putting in 99999 for the zip code then answer all other questions. After it says your TV will receive the guide in 24 hours then setup the guide as you normally would with your zip code).

3. Contact your local CBS affiliate engineer and see if they are having problems with the TV Guide transport stream i.e. SCTE 127 or VBI in MPEG

FYI if you get your service from a Cable TV company they will have to pass this information through their system commonly referred to as Passing PIDS.

Since the set is less than 1 year old, it should still be under warranty. Request warranty service.

The noise you are hearing is probably arcing inside the set on the power supply board. Continuing to attempt to turn on the set will only make things worse. Please request warranty service as this is unusual for a TV that new.

Clean the Lens: Use a DVD cleaning disc to clean the lens. If the problem persists, consider professional cleaning. Test Other Discs: Try playing different DVDs to see if the issue occurs consistently. If it's specific to one disc, that disc might be the problem. Check for Updates: Make sure your DVD player's firmware is updated. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for firmware updates. Try a Different TV: Connect your DVD player to a different TV to see if the noise disappears. If it does, the issue might be with your TV. The hum is simply the player trying to read the disc. It can't so, it spits it out. Remember that prolonged use of a malfunctioning DVD player could potentially cause damage. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional repair or replacement

Question edited for clarity. It appears to be an LG rather an an IG. https://www.avforums.com/threads/lg-42lb1db-how-cani-remove-the-swivel-base.519459/ Further Help and videos https://www.google.com/search?q=lg+42lb5df+remove+base+stand ..

The screen blank out

Likely a dry connection where the HDMI socket it soldered to the board. https://www.google.com/search?q=LG+PLASMA+TV+MODEL+NO.60PS60-UA+that+is+not+picking+up+the+HDMI Old plasma technology though, time for a new one, as quality has moved on. https://reviewed.usatoday.com/televisions/content/lg-60ps60-plasma-hdtv-first-impressions-review-830 ..

This is the Power Board for it. check those 6 electrolytic Capacitors on the right for bulging or splitting. Don't buy it blindly, it's a guess. The output voltages with a digital multimeter. https://applianceparts.com/item/10217204/LG/EAY62812602/ Many parts are obsolete. eBay has used boards, but they are risky because they are out of scrapped sets. https://www.google.com/search?q=50PN5300-UF+power+board We have a television expert named Larry, but I haven't seen him for a while.

Maybe the disk is not compatible with the DVD player version

It can't be done. The DVD remote will be single frequency for that device only and the LG remote for that LG Blu Ray (or series) only. Companies don't make cross-control between makers easy. The only exception is cable and satellite boxes to allow their remote to also control the television. If you have lost a remote or it doesn't work, this is the answer https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

You can't, the LG DVD Remote is single frequency. If you are lucky, the LG Television Remote, might control an LG DVD. If you have lost a remote, have a read of this https://www.fixya.com/support/r29872378-universal_remotes_no_facsimile_remote ..

If you would like to share any clues, yes. Checked power going in, I presume. Any indicator lights? If yes, how many times does it flash?
