Plasma Television won't turn on

Hello,

I have a 42pq30 LG plasma television that will not turn on. When it is plugged in and I press the power button, the red indicator light in the front comes on. I also hear a buzzing noise coming from the power supply, but nothing else happens.

After doing some research, I replaced the power supply. After trying to turn it on with the new power supply, I get the same symptoms - red indicator light and a buzzing power supply.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello,

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.

if otherwise the power supply board is faulty you can try websites Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Hope this helps

My lg 42pq30 won't turn on. The t.v. was working fine 45 minutes ago, but is completely dead now. When I use any remote I get no response from the t.v. No lights or buzzes, just a non responsive...

It needs to go to the service shop.It is a power supply problem and it would require equipments not found in a home.If you are comfortable opening it would even require another ones help due to it's weight.Observe if there is power indicator on(green LED)it none first and usual problem is you have blown a fuse(cause may be a power surge which the power supply was not able to withstand).If the only part is the fuse you are lucky but usually other causes are by a major breakdown of components.

No power going to LG 42 inch plasma, tried changing fuse in plug and tried a different power lead and still nothing (no standby light etc)

Hello,
since you have change the fuse in plug, this indicate that your plug is okay, the likely problem is from the television which will require you to open the television to check for fuses, bulged capacitors, but if otherwise your power supply is dead.It can be dead at anytimes.Tries websites Shopjimmy.com,Ebay.com to buy a refurbish power supply board for the replacement.
Hope this help.....

How do I get LG Plasma TV 42PQ30 to work with a dell laptop in connection use of a VGA/SVGA video cable. Thw hook up should act as a plug and play if my understanding is correct. I am using the RGB IN(PC)...

well, if the cable and adapters are friendly (meaning, you are able to plug the right video connection from LT to TV), sometimes you need to tell you LT that you have a second screen to output video. To do that, there should be a display icon in your bottom-right taskbar. Double click, and you should be able to see the options to either clone, pan, or primary your second display screen. :D

Lg 42'' plasma 720p no picture

This is not good. Was your tv unplugged or just power button off when you left for vacation. PlasmaTvs are highly susceptible to damage from power surges caused by lighting. Leave unplugged for at least five minutes then plug back in and see if this helps.
