TV repair discussion thread (consolidated)

[cscs3]

Just self repair a Sammy 32" LCD tv last week which is older than your due to a faulty power supply board. If you are sure or suspect that the power supply board cause tv cannot turn on, you may try open the back cover (disconnect power cable 1st) and look out for the part number of the power supply board. I not sure your tv back cover is easy to remove or not but mine not difficult. Then go taobao to search for the exact board for price and decide yourself whether worth to get it and DIY or not. Anyway 死马当活马医 so you may want to give a try. But of course, do it at your own risk.

For my case I first check the fuse on the board and found faulty. After changing a new fuse and power on, the fuse immediately blow off but I can see the Power led on a few second and off again. Lucky to found a exact board and bought it for replacement. Now the tv is working as usual and the damage is less than your budget for repair. Good luck.

Should be due to bad capacitor.

Just an update since one bro here told me he was having the same LG TV problem.


In the end i managed to get the valid invoice direct from Mega Discount Store. Lazada customer support was pathetic that time, lots of conversations and the CS did not seem to apprehend what i was asking for.... after all the time wasting conversation......in the end someone from lazada called me to offered an apology.

gave discount voucher which i bought a Razor mouse which did not come with invoice again. I asked again and this time round no ding-dongs and the invoice was quickly sent to me by post.

Ok... back to the LG TV, the technician came by to change the mainboard of the TV. seems to me that he have been replacing the boards all the time.
He told me the software/firmware probably corrupted. advised me to switch off the tv using the remote all the time.

replacement was free as i was under warranty.
it was replaced in less than 15-20mins./

Anybody got this syndrome where the LG TV will power on showing the LG logo... After which there will be no display.

What is the problem hur?

Called up LG and fixed an appointment. Told me lazada is not an authorized reseller...Bought from Lazada and the seller was mega discount store...

Now checking with them how to produce valid invoice when the technician comes. Sian...last time the delivery guy just gave me a logistics delivery note.

Just now when i switched on my samsung f8000 tv, it cannot 'load'. Blink on & off constantly, able to see faint 'smart tv' logo then immediately off again then on again in never ending loop. Have to off tv by plugging out.

Any idea what happened? Tv should still be under warranty but i did not register coz i think last time salesman said keep receipt can liao...now i worried

Cold comfort is that it at least broke down near end of warranty. really must force myself not to get samsung tv next time despite price to performance ratio is quite good coz previous sammy tv also broke down few months after warranty.

sounds like my problem now. could be bad capacitors being used ?

did u manage to get it repaired ?
