I recently had a lightning strike that caused my LG to stop functioning. After some research, I concluded it's most likely the main board that was causing the issue. I purchased the exact same board as mine on Ebay and I swamped out the old board this morning. It powers up and at least shows an image, but I'm getting what can only be described as a solar image.

You can also see the Youtube video I found that looks exactly like my issue here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-aXKCTiU6I
I've been trying to track down how to access the LG service menu but I've struck out every time. I've tried Holding the Enter button on both the remote and the tv, the Home(menu) button on both the tv and remote, and have never been prompted for a password. I have read about possibly downgrading my firmware but I've been unsuccessful at locating an actual download. Does anyone have any suggestions on a possible factory reset or a way to solve the color issue?
