 |
|
Model: LG 37" LCD 37LG50
TV turns on, have constant audio. Sometimes only the top 3" of the screen will be working with horizontal lines, then the entire screen will work with a few horizontal lines at the top. The snow screen will consistently freeze for 1-2 seconds at a time. Then menus are intermittently responsive.
I bought a quality capacitor kit for the Power board and replaced all capacitors except for the 2 large ones which were not included in the kit. Good solder joints on everything I replaced. Cables all looked good from visual inspection. TV was never hit or taken apart before this started.
I bought a "good" used T-Con video board off a reputable ebay seller and installed it. Both repairs had NO effect, it's neither worse nor better. Should I give up or go a different route.

| Based on your pictures, my money is on it being bad tab bonds. If I'm correct... You might be able to get it to work by putting pressure in the right spots, but there is no real fix besides replacing the panel. |

And remember according to Shop Jimmy:
IMPORTANT: Horizontal lines on the screen are virtually NEVER caused by a bad T-con board. Horizontal lines indicate a defective LCD panel (screen). |

| however, the menus being sometimes unresponsive lead me to consider the mainboard as a strong possibility. |

I didn't think a panel problem would lead to non responsive menus and intermittent freezing of the screen which by the way when the screen freezes the static audio sound doesn't cut out with it. The non responsive menus and few seconds of freezing were what let me to think the main board was bad and why I replaced that. It's weird because the menus work when they want.
Appreciate every one's help.  |

You said you replaced caps on the Power Supply and replaced the Tcon. When was the Main board mentioned in earlier posts?
I won't comment on frozen screen and static sound until an 'active signal' is in play. |
