Hi guys and girls

Just started to watch top gear on my 42" LG lcd tv, and it started flickering really fast and making a strange buzzing noise inside. I switched it off and back on again, it worked for a few seconds, then started doing the same. Then the picture went off completely, although the sound still works. I've left it off for a while longer, put it back on, and its back to the flickering. Tried it using the ps3, and it does the same, so not input related.

Help please

i think you know the answer and are just afraid to admit it

 

whats that?

Its one of two things,

A, I shouldn't have bought shitty LG

or B, Its fucked?

 

I'm told LG are as good as any.

they must ALL be shite then

 

Sounds like the PSU for the screen is on the way out

 

do you have surge protection???

my first lg32" lasted 5 mins without it

 

thanks for the replies! No i don't have surge protection. Are they really that sensitive?

Luckily its still under warranty so i'll get it back to currys and see what they say.

Thanks
Rich

 

if they give you crap just tell them at the time they sold it to you they never told you that you needed surge protection thats how i got round all there its your fault not ours resons

+ lg make a lot of the bits that are in other lcd tellys so they cant be that bad lol

 

ok cheers mate, will take it back tomorrow and see what happens

 

as i understand they make a lot of parts for other manufacturers

 

Probably the main earth, some contacts just need cleaning.

 

if its still under warranty leave well alone,it`ll have security warranty void stickers

 

LG are meant to make or supply screens to sony, up to 42"......apparently!

 

mine blew without a surge protector in 20 mins so i paid Ł80 for a good protector

 

had mine almost 5yrs now with no protection never had any bother



going out tomorrow to buy one..................
