I had the TV upside down for about 5 minutes to take the stand off of it. I put brackets on to mount on my wall. I put the TV on the wall then plugged the TV in. There was a sound and then a puff of smoke coming out of the back of the TV. OOPS!! I let the TV stand right side up for about 15 hours. I turn the TV on and the screen comes on for about 3 seconds then fades out. About 2 seconds after the screen shuts down there is a clicking sound from the back of the TV. Then the Red power light in the front blinks slowly. Thank You.

    Sound like something metalic got into the back of the set and shorted something out. The click sound is from relays on the power supply board which turn on/off power.
    You can rotate the set and listen if anything rattle. Maybe a screw fell inside.

Whoops, did you not use the right length screws.

The mounting bracket screws will short onto some electronics if you fit screws that are too long and from your superb description, it sounds like you did everything right but do not mention what screws you used.

Smoke coming from a TV is always a sign that something has burned out and unfortunately it is never a fuse. The TV will need fixing, there is no chance of it still working after it has smoked.

If you are lucky, it will just require a power board but you need a TV engineer to look at it as it is not something that you can usually do yourself. Even if you bought a new power board and installed it, there is no guarantee that the main board/processor board or inverter has not blown as well and this is why I recommend a professional looks at it.

Unless your house insurance covers the damage (if the excess is not too high).

How do you take a stand off

There are 4 screws found in the center bottom of rear plastic back. 2 at top and 2 at bottom - approx 1/2 inch from bottom the 1st 2 will be about 3 inches apart - then directly above there are 2 more. These screws hold the bracket that holds the stand. Once you remove the bracket there should be no parts sticking out further than the actual television and can now be mounted to the wall with a mounting system.

I need help finding mounting screws and bolts for my 47" 1080P 120HZ LCD w/2YR. The table that I bought for the tv dindn't bring them.

If you want to put the LCD on a stand you"ll need the original that screws on the bottom. best way to mount LCD is to the wall or on a metal stand. There are holes on the back of the LCD to mount the bracket most brackets have a lot of holes just move the bracket up or down until two line up. The screws are almost all metric coarse thread and usually are included with the bracket kit. I got my kit at Wal Mart

How can I remove the the stand so I can mount it on the wall

1)Carefully lay the front of the unit face down on a flat,
cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave the stand
protruding over the edge of the surface.

2)Remove the jack pack cover on the back of the TV to expose
the pedestal stand screws. The jack pack cover can be removed
without tools.

3)Remove the five screws shown in the diagram below. This will
allow removal of the pedestal stand.

4)Once you have removed all five screws holding the pedestal
stand in place, remove the pedestal stand from the TV by
sliding the pedestal stand away from the TV.

Is it possible to mount the unit upside down on wall brackets, and of course, the dryer still operates satisfactorily? As there does not appear to have pressed openings on the rear panel for bracket...

Hi Don.

All appliances must be installed, used, and also transported and stored with the top side up.

If the dryer is turned upside down the weight of the drum, motor and other parts will not be sustained anymore by the rollers and other structural parts located inside the appliance.
The dryer will start, but it will break down after a short usage.

There are also other safety issues involved.

The dryer cannot be installed upside down.

Regards.

Try to mount TV to the wall and need to release the TV stand

To Display your LCD TV using a Wall Bracket:

If you decide to wall mount your LCD TV, always use a ULlisted wall bracket appropriate for the size and weight of the LCD TV: 32HL37/32HL37U/32HL17/32HL17U: 38.6 lbs (17.5 kg)

37HL17: 46.3 lbs (21.0 kg)

42HL17: 59.5 lbs (27.0 kg)
1) CAUTION: Two people are required for installation.

2) Unplug and remove any cables and/or other component connectors from the rear of the TV.

3) Follow the instructions provided with your wall bracket. Before proceeding, make sure the appropriate bracket(s) are attached to the wall and the back of the TV as described in the instructions provided with the wall bracket.

4) After attaching the appropriate bracket(s) to the wall and the back of the TV, remove the pedestal stand from the TV as described below.


Removing the Pedestal Stand

I am trying to remove the stand on a LG Model : 52LB5D. I have removed the 4 screws on the back but can't remove stand. It feels like there is another screw or something holding it in.

If you are looking at the back of your tv there is the stand bracket with a screw on each side. remove those screws and nothing will happen. that is the problem i was having but if you look right above the ones you just took out and there is going to be a black screw. take those off from each side and it will fall off.
