LG Plasma 42pc3d turns on for a second with a weird screen then makes a loud pop and turns off. any advice?
Its very likely that you need to have LG perform a sodtware upgrade on your unit. Contact LG and see if your tv is one of the applicable units with software upgrade issues, please let me know if it works. Good Luck.
It could be that on the main printed circuit board inside the unit, the capacitors have a tendency to become faulty, they sometimes make a loud pop when they fault. What is the description of the screen that appears when you turn on the unit?
Ok, I've seen the video, and i feel the best thing to do at this stage is google the entire model number, the 42PC3D, including as well the numbers that follow after the hyphen as this will be able to show you if its a software upgrade compatible television.
I know that the 42PC3D series do have the upgrade required but depending on the situation may depend on the software needed.
Contact LG otherwise you may be able to download the software and do the upgrade yourself. I hope this helps. Good Luck.
