    Faulty 42LG3000 Help!

    Hi all,

    I have a faulty 42LG3000 TV.

    The fault is that when the set is powered on it comes on and the image flashes on the screen for a second if that, then the display goes black although the sound can still be heard.

    Has anyone ever encounted this fault?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Dan

    It sounds like 2 seconds to black; quite a common issue in fact. I just fixed a TV with this fault. A good start would be to post pictures of the insides of your TV.

          On each side of the screen there is an inverter.

          Can you please take a closer picture of each inverter. Thanks.

            I have repaired tvs in the past and there is nothing obvious to the eye that i can see.
            Also my fault sounds as if it may well be the two seconds to black that you mentioned. You can see the full screen image once first turned off then it goes black and only the sound can be heard.

                  Okay on these sets the two inverters work with each other.

                  If the master is dead you will usually get nothing at all on the screen.

                  If the slave is dead you will sometimes get a brief flash or 2 seconds to black.

                  Each of the boards has a fuse on it; the white chunky object next to the power connector. Check this fuse with your meter.

                    The fuse is fine. Dan

                      On both? Okay, it looks as if all the controller stuff happens on the master. The slave is a "dumb" board.

                      There are some transformers on the boards; check the resistance between the markings (attached) on both boards.

                      If the transformers are good, the resistances will match within 3%.

                        Yes fuses are fine on both. What setting do I need the meter on to check the reistance? Also do i need to put one end on the first red marking and the other end on the other red marking?
                        Then the same for the green markings?

                          I have set the multi meter to 20k ohm and unless i am doing something wrong i am not getting any readings from any of them?

                            One probe on one red, one probe on another red. Repeat for green. If you are still not getting a reading they might be wired differently to how I expect.

                              Yeah that is what I tried. Not getting any readings.
                              Also tried on both inverters.

                                Can you post a side-on picture of the transformers?

                                  Yes, will do it tomorrow as the tv is at my parents home. Thanks Dan

                                      Okay so as far as I can see they are wired as I would expect. What range were you using your meter on?

                                        I tired it on 2k and 20k. I have tried taking a reading from an inverter that i know works from another tv and i am getting a reading from that. Just not from either of the two inverter boards for this tv. Dan
