My LG TV https://www.digitalworldz.co.uk/av-home-cinema-5/254349-lg-42le8900-tv-review.html#post1881240 has started to play up, last week it would not switch on – if I explain.
Normally switching on is a phishh followed by the LG logo and the time, then the channel tunes. As far as I can remember there was no logo/time the small light came on indicating it was on but no picture just a black screen, switched it on and off a few times it came back on.
Yesterday same thing but it would not display anything, left it on (small light illuminated) for about an hour switched off then on, back to normal displaying channels.
After a bit googling it could be the capacitors, I have a 5 year warranty, I’m just into year 4 I’ve not phoned them yet as its back on. Was hoping it was goosed altogether so I could get a new set but don’t think that would make it uneconomical to repair.
Anyone any more ideas what it could be?
