Riddled TV Repair Forum

Hey, I have a 47" LG. Model 47LM4700. Recently the screen went black and nothing is showing up. The LEDs are all working properly. I got out the trusty meter and checked all the leads on the PSB. On the secondary side of the PSB @ connector P201 everything read normal except for the pin that is labeled as PWR-ON 24V. This pin read at 3.5V. I'm guessing that this is going to be my problem. I just want to verify before I order the new board. I've been an HVAC tech for 8 years so I'm good with low voltage and troubleshooting, but this is my first TV repair. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Those are two pins. P201 is a connector with two rows of pins. The top view of board shows a grid/list of pin functions. The left row lists the pins you can see directly, the right row lists the pins that are hidden by jack's plastic.
Just like Here

PWR-ON should go from 3.5 volts to approx. 0 volts with EACH press of the Power button.

Read this carefully: You have opened the LCD panel and observed directly that each and every LED back light bulb is lighting (and is STAYING lit)?

No, I have not fully disassembled and checked the LED boards behind the panel. I turned all of the lights out and can see the lights through the back of the panel with the back panel removed.

I tried shining a flashlight to check for a picture but couldn't see one.

Should I remove the LCD and check the LEDs?

Any tips for removing and handling the LCD to keep from damaging it?

Thanks again!

I'd check Tcon board for blown fuse F1 and b-plus first. SJ shows three tcon boards.
