mac frederick Posted on Feb 16, 2015

LG 50ln5200-ub led TV . Has no picture but great sound . What is the problem ? I did the flashlight test and can see the faint picture which tells me the backlighting is out . This tv model is a Black friday " Wally World Craptastic " model built with the finest parts from the dumpsters at lg so it does not have a seperate inverter board , The inverter is built into the power board. I replaced the power board and still has the exact same symptoms . Any Help is appreciated/ The only other two boards are the t-con board and the main board . Power board has been replaced.

Usually bad power supply, Where did you source your part? return/exchange it. Bad LEDs/ possible but not as likely, Tcon working if you can see images with flashlight. You must also have backlight on signal from main board ,check for 3 to 5v on labeled connecter on power supply. UPDATE---47" & 50" LN series. This model has had LED problems if your TV acts as described by Mr. Hughes in is answer to this problem you have bad LEDs

Can you see the the screen flash brightly when tv is first switched on and then immediately go black?Does the red led standby light then slowly flash twice? If these are the symptoms then I can only tell you that this is the fault I had on my LG .47ln540v tv.I replaced the main board,psu board and t-con board all to no avail.Finally i stripped down the screen assembly and found the problem was caused by a faulty backlight led. Apparently the electronic circuitry monitors the supply to the backlight leds and if it detects a problem it shuts off the supply and goes into a "safe"mode to protect the remaining leds from receiving to much current.One my tv I can only deduce that standby led light flashing twice is a blink code for a faulty backlight,but I could be wrong. Although I am not a tv technician I know enough about electricity to safely work on some repairs,but I cannot recommend others to do the same,there are some capacitors on the psu board carrying high current and charge and could be lethal even when power is disconnected from the tv.I managed to get a replacement led backlight strip from a damaged tv of the same model.It took me about 5 weeks to troubleshoot this fault.Hope this helps someone.

SOURCE: lg led tv backlight

Fault with its main board. Short circuited component/s at it. Contact any service technician; or the authorized service center. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Surf the site with patience. Pull up older posts. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ . In most cases, the main board might have to be replaced. If so, a software [firmware] update too might be necessary.

I have a LG 50LN5200 TV Model # 50LN5200-UB. Sound but no picture, unplugged for 3 weeks, turned on worked for 10 minutes then same, flashlight shined in screen reveled a picture in there.Can u help

The backlight leds need replacing, you can get replacements very easy around $40 a set however it is a tricky job if you have not done it before, the lcd panel must be removed without damage, the backlights are stuck to the metal cover behind lcd panel.

My TV is a LG 47LN5700-UH I had a lightning strike near the house. Afterward TV would start but not boot completely. Now it won't start at all. Cable box also got fried at the same time.

The led driver AND the T-con board are bad. If you could see a picture with the flashlight then the T-con board would be good. It is not. The led driver can be on the main board or the power supply board. You can get these parts from here: TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy

Lg tv power light comes on but screen stays blank

If you can't see a faint picture with the flashlight then the T-con board is gone. If you can see a faint picture, then the led driver or ballasts for the back lights quit. You can get parts from here: TV Parts Universal TV Stands DLP Chips ShopJimmy
