LG 50UH5500-UA. Logo flashes on for under a second then goes black. Red light by power switch blinks twice. Replaced power board, baked main board. Nothing seen under flashlight test. What's next?

When first plugged in, press power button... LG logo appears for less than a second, then screen goes black. The red light at the power button comes on, turns off, then blinks twice. Watching from the back with the cover off, the backlight flashes on and then off. A red light on the main board under the heat sink turns on and then off, as does the red optical port light. Subsequent attempts at powering on the TV without unplugging it first will show the same except the backlight never comes on, and the logo doesn't appear. Have replaced power board. Cleaned and reseated connections. Tried flashlight test, could not see any picture. Tried baking main board for 10 minutes at 385F. No burns or obvious issues visually apparent in TCON or main board. Cables all seem intact. What is the likely culprit?

    I have the same issue. I changed the power board and the main board. Is there a way to check the backlights without tearing apart the screen?

Have you checked your power supply voltages?...if so what are they?

Testimonial: "Have not checked them TBH. Figured since the problem persisted through replacing the power board that it would be elsewhere in the TV?"

  • Larry Jan 22, 2018

    Main reason to check them is to see if you have backlight issues and see if the backlights are shutting down the power supply

    anyone figure out the issue? im having the same issue but i unplugged everything but the power supply and main board and it is still doing it. And since some of you replaced the power supply with no luck than it sounds like it has to be the main board. Has anyone replaced the board?

    I have exactly the same issue. I changed the power board and the main board. I get a flash with the lg logo then nothing. Is there any way to check the led lights without tearing apart the screen?

  • Kenneth Whinney Oct 23, 2022

    No. Don't tear apart the screen or you will break it. Can be taken apart and fixed with a soldiering iron

Led back lights joiners between the led strips need jumpers soldered on

  • Larry Oct 25, 2022

    The LG model sets with UH5500 after the panel size do not have jumper between the strips, they have local dimming, each strip has it's own power supply. See answer below on how to repair the TV

  • Kenneth Whinney Oct 25, 2022

    Best thing to do first is turn on tv. Press menu button then look at the screen carefully with torch or sun light and you should be able to see menu very faint. If you can then it is the back lights.

Only a probe with a voltage trace can figure to the possible SHORT in the circuit board. You need to look for possible signs of heating which can be an indicator to a short . Also check for the secondary +B to the circuit, check the path that leads to the drive and see if there is high potential drop, if so check the drop to get an idea of the short. The list of probabilities can be more and so ONLY a good voltage check can pinpoint the case. Take consensus but do not replace board at high cost with just assumptions.

Are you certain the replacement power supply is good? A defective main board or power supply can cause this problem.

I have a 55" LG TV model#55LD520-UA when I turn it on the red stand by light blinks twice and the LG logo and clock flash for maybe 2or, 3 seconds then the screen goes black

Hi there. I would advise you to unplug your tv from the wall. Wait approximately 5 minutes. Hold down the power button on the tv for 15 seconds without the tv plugged in. This is what they call power cycling. If plugging back in the tv does not work; you might have a power board issue. A typical power board/circuit board repair runs from $25 to $125.

My LG 50uh5500-ua tv does not turn on. No picture or sound. When power button is pushed red light blinks 3 times then goes off. Any suggestions or theories?

I had the same problem, changed the power board, main board and t con board. I purchased the led light tester, one string of lights was out. Replaced the lights, and 1/2 of the tv worked. I broke the black tab that connects the ribbon connector to the bottom panel. What a learning experience. Now I have to figure out how to change the ribbon connector.

Hi I have a lg smart tv model # 65UF6450-UA when I turn it on the red light blinks three times but there's no picture or sound . Do I need a new driver board?

smart tv's have their own built in computer and as with any computer they can get confused and don't know what to do.a simple thing to try is unplug your tv completely from power source including a power strip. hold the power button down for at least 60 seconds plug it back in see what happens. don't cost anything to try this.

My LG 47LA6200-UA just went out. Turning on it flashes and goes black. Red light flashes 3 times. Flashlight shows picture, audio works. Is this the LED strips or something else? Thanks for any help!

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices.

If blinks continue without any pause, the main board is faulty.
