Hi
A common problem for these is bad capacitors in the power supply, Remove the back from your Tv and look at the power supply on the left hand side.

You will see roughly around 9 x capacitors that are bulged / domed shaped on top usually these are valued at 3300uf 10V any that have bulged or leaked a brown like substance should be changed.
This will cure the problem as they overheat being sat next to a heatsink that gets very hot!
Try and change them for the same 3300uf but a higher voltage.
Hope this helpout in solving the problem....

You can get an exact replacement remote here: http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?a=Search&o=c&uid=0&m=42PX3DCV&uuid=13014384668260 . Alternatively, try searching for a replacement at an LG distributor: http://www.lg.com/us/support/parts/support-find-parts.jsp .

Assuming that the sensor is working, any universal remote should work if it was programmed at least 6 months after the TV was released. Try all of the LG codes until you find one that makes all of the features work on the TV. (The absence of Menu and Input buttons can be frustrating with some TVs.)

One way to tell if the remote is working is to take a picture of the IR beam side of the remote when someone else presses a button on the remote. Use a digital camera (like the one in a cell phone). If the remote is working a bright light will appear in the picture when you review it.

If the remote actually is sending a signal, check if the buttons on the TV work. That will determine if the sensor has failed or if the entire board has failed. You may be able to obtain these parts from the LG distributor or http://www.partstore.com.

I hope this helps.

Either there is a bad relay, or a bad power supply. The relay if there is one on this model, would be on the power board. Trace the wires from plug-in cord to power board. Test the power with a voltmeter. There should be a label on teh tv set that states the DC Voltage Output. The number should match.

Damp a rag with warm water, and wipe the marks and buff dry with lcd screen cloth, they are different than regular rags. hope this helps.

TV.

You can have your plasma repaired using a TV Repair guy but often it costs as much as a brand new LCD. My daughter broke my $1,600 LCD. It would have cost $1,200 to fix.. so I just bought a new one.After that I picked up a TV screen protector called TV Armor http://www.tv-armor.com Its designed to protect the TV from damage. Now I dont have to worry anymore when she is playing near it. It works really well.

A mean person would say sand it, but dear god dont do that.
Short answer is you can't, OR you could sand all of it?! :)

I HAVE CHECKED THE WIRING IT WAS QUITE SIMPLE PLUGGING IT IN,DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE? THANK, KARIM

If ever an energy pike occurs, it would most likely damage the TV for sure. A grounded outlet helps divert power surges to the ground. Sometimes grounded outlets can only handle so much overload, but never 100% guarantee.

Best protection for a flat-screen is a really good surge protector bar. The best ones cost about $100 - $150. Repairing a TV damaged from a power spike would cost about $400 - $600 from a TV repair shop. So, protecting the TV is a good idea considering the cost of repair.

My mothers 42' flat screen TV got knocked over. Now there is a large crack on the inside corner. What would it cost to get it fixed. Please contact me at [email protected].
