LG LED TV Failed

[Scott™]

So our tv failed last night after 3 years owner ship. No problems prior. A vertical line appeared at first and then eventually the picture went. See pic below...

Any real chance of fixing it myself? As it's now out of warrantee...

Pcb control board fucked up.
Will probs cost more to fix that it's worth tbh.

Salt water possibly corroded the circuits prematurely. I'm with HMS, just buy a new one. Looks like a small size tv anyway?

Boards and screen replacements aren't too complicated, like with any modern electronics you just need to be methodical and careful of ribbon cables, connectors etc. The problem is getting the correct part you need to fix the problem first time. If you don't you'll be paying out for several parts that might be the problem, the vast majority of which aren't cheap, unless it's obviously a single component at fault e.g. a bulging capacitor.

It's 47" lol.

We have already replaced it but thought it could be something simple and sell it on eBay.

Oh well never mind I might open it up and have a look. Thanks for the replies.

Isn't that a LCD display? Not LED?

As mentioned due to the cost of the parts it isn't worth fixing, but saying that you will get some money if you stick it on the bay as spares/repairs.

Basically my Plasma was 2 years old, so 1 year out of warranty.

I took realnumber1's advice and spoke to Currys quoting the 'Sales of Goods act'. 7 days later my TV was repaired FOC with a new panel.

If you don't fix it will you sell me that stand? Lol, I need one for when I move out as its on a wall atm but needs to go on a table at new place and can't find my bloody stand.

Drop me a PM if you will and I'll sort it out with you .

LED is just LCD which is lit by LED's.. sooo many people get confused over this.
