    LG 65UH5500 Flashes on then off

    Hi all,

    I have an LG 65UH5500 built in 2016 that won't turn on and stay on. When you turn it on, the screen comes on like normal and shows the LG logo, but turns off in less than a second (or very quickly). I took off the back panel, read through a couple threads here, ran through Bud's TV troubleshooting PDF, and have come to a stopping point.

    On the power supply board, there is a connector with 80V and 13.2V connections. With power plugged in and the TV off, these measure 63.6V and 9.7V, respectively. The TV won't stay on, so getting voltages with the TV on is a bit tricky.

    I looked at all the capacitors and did not find any evidence of failure. Fuses appear to be intact as well.

    Are there any troubleshooting tips I can use to help diagnose the issue with this TV?

    Thanks!

    This looks like a close predecessor of the UH6100 series, IIRC, which was also built in 2016. I got it in 2017 and gave it to my sister in later-2018. Now it looks like possibly failing LEDs on it. Looks purplish and looks like possibly some dead LEDs on the bottom. We have a 49UH6100.

      I had a similar problem on a LG 65" and it turned out to be one row of back lights went bad.

        The connector CN2 has Fail and STB. What are the voltages on those two pins in standby and when you you switch on?
        Willing to help but I'm no expert.

          Should search your model number to see if there are other posts.

            If I have the TV unplugged then plug it in, it seems to turn itself on. Voltages measure 0V on these two pins at this time.

            If I then press the power button, I believe that puts it into standby. STB measures 3.5V and Fail measures 0V.

            It's a bit tough to tell if the TV is on or not since the display does not stay on.

              Good find on that thread, this YouTube video seems to have solved that person's issue which is described the same as mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ir7...ature=youtu.be

              I might buy one of the backlight testers to see if I have an issue with a backlight strip.

                  Looks likely that I have evidence of LED problems! The 49UH6100 TV that I gave to my sister, looks oddly bluish, a purplish-blue and possibly some dead LEDs!
