LG LCD Tv picture goes black but the sound still works

I really hope someone can help, as this is really starting to annoy me. Aout 5 minutes after turning the TV on the picture suddenly goes black although the sound is still fine. It does the same thing after I turn it off for about a minute adn then turn it on again. I've tried switching channels and the picture is darker for about 5 seconds and then goes black again..... Please someone help, don't know if it's something to do with the settings or a problem with the TV. My sister has exactly the same and hers is fine.... Thanks in advance.

Next time it goes dark do a flash light test to see if your inverter board is fubar.

Depending on your electronics skill, they can be replaced with new replacement boards. Usually the inverter boards that drive the backlights tend to blow. Soo its not really an expertise repair unless you know what your doing. The lcd tv's ive fixed the backlights are all on a 2 pin connector.

Try One of your working TVS and connect it to your cable outlet of the TV that is having problems. If that TV Does not work then there may be a degraded fitting or the Leg coming of the splitter to that outlet could have a Low Signal Problem
Next Take the First TV that was not working properly and put it on the cable outlet of one of the TVs that is working properly and if the TV set works on that Channel then you know it is not your TV that it must be the cable

SOURCE: LG 37LC2D TV - after

This is a sort of slow start up and it can be a fault in the Power supply as the voltage builds up or in the display drive section where the fault seems the same as a circuit trying to act upon. There is a defined failre but only if the observations of the voltages are taken out and confirmed.
Start with the Power supply and check if the filter and storage capacitors are topped up with the designed voltage, if there is slow build up then check the reason if in the drive for poor swithching or a poor capactior.
Next check the same with the main board , look for IC's getting warm , if so use a freeze it to cool and set the picture to start up therby confirming the IC. repeat check, observe for heat and changes in voltage.respond

SOURCE: My LG Lcd tv takes a minute or so to turn on then sometimes the picture flickers and goes out. The tv is on but no picture or sound. When I try to use the menu button on the tv it doesn't work. Whe

The fact that you have no menu or onscreen display, leads me to believe that it is the main logic board. Either the processor ic or the voltages going to the main board are missing. Check to see if the main board is getting 5v and 3.3v to determine if it is your power supply not supplying the voltages or your main board.

Black shadow on 42 inch LG lcd tv its like a ligtht goes off then black lines then picture comes back

You have answered you question yourself:

You have a loose connection inside---may be a plug or connecter inside or a physical problem on one of the boards or even the main display panel.

Someone has to open it and see what they can find by probing the chassis in different areas.

47LG70 - PICTURE WENT OUT. STILL HAVE SOUND. HEARD A POPPING NOISE WHEN PICTURE WENT. TV IS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. ANY IDEAS WHAT MAY OF HAPPENED.

I have had the same problem off and on with my 47LG70 for months. When the "popping" noise happens, the blue light in the corner stays on, so I know the tv is still on (sometimes I still have sound, sometimes I don't). Sometimes the screen goes black, but other times it is blue. If I turn the tv off then on again, it might stay on for seconds, minutes or hours. It's been very frustrating.

This seemed to happen right after I got my new Comcast box, which came with an HDMI 1.3 cable. I read somewhere online that this tv might not be compatible with that cable, so I unplugged it and am using component cables again. I just did this today, so I don't know if it will work, but so far the tv has been on for 30 minutes with no problems.

I'm pretty ignorant about HDMI compared to component cables. I imagine I will not get as good a picture with the component cables, but I am willing to sacrifice quality if I can just get the darn thing to work. Mine is also only 18 months old.

Hope this helps. If it doesn't, maybe someone else out there can help us both.

Invalid format

Try rechecking all wire connections for proper placement and fit too and from the tv.
Try adjusting the video format on the DVD, flip through 480p and 1080i. See which format works best with your tv. Do the same with Wii.

See if this helps.

Sound but No Picture

Perhaps your remote is set to video recorder?  Try that first, and if no response, try calling up a menu on your TV and look for the Picture Settings.
Good Luck.

TV Picture Goes Black

I had the same exact problem.
I removed the bulb and cleaned it. There is a small screen at the top of the bulb and it was covered with dust. Once it was cleaned I replaced the bulb and it solved the problem.
