Television: Bush TV stopped working - No power

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 05:23:59 -0700

Hi everyone,

My Bush TV (LED24127FHDDVD) randomly turned itself off with no indication of any problems prior to it happening. I've had it a couple of years and not had any problems whatsoever.

Usually the standby light turns on when it is plugged in but that doesn't even appear anymore.

I've replaced the fuse in the plug but that did not make any difference. I'm assuming it may be a problem with power but I am not entirely sure.

I have attached pictures of the circuit board at the back of the TV- any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

LG 32CS560: heat-related intermittent shutdown

Tue, 08 Sep 2026 18:35:22 -0700

My TV is an LG 32CS480-TA, manufactured in August 2012.

The TV works perfectly when I turn it on, but after approximately 8–10 minutes, it suddenly switches itself off. The red standby light remains on, indicating that the TV is still receiving power, but it will not turn back on immediately.

If I leave it switched off for approximately 20 minutes, I can turn it on again and it works normally for several minutes before shutting down again.

So the problem is not that the TV has completely stopped working. It repeatedly shuts down after warming up and will only turn on again after being left off for a while.

Model: LG 32CS480-TA Product Code: 32CS480-TA.UFLYU

What could be causing this issue, and which component should I check or replace?

LG Television: LG TV Beeps 3 times then exits app and goes to main menu

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 22:58:02 -0700

LG 50UQ7570PUJ tv that is about 3 years old just started making 3 beeps and goes to main menu. It will do this when watching an app like Netflix, Prime or YouTube. There is not exact time it does it. It could take 10 minutes or it could take 15 seconds after launching an app. When going back to the main menu it will launch LG Channels. I can watch LG channels and it will not go back to main menu but will still beep 3 times.

UN65MU6500: noticing some dark gray spots or patches appearing on the screen

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:01:12 -0700

I have a Samsung TV and I’m noticing some dark gray spots or patches appearing on the screen. They are more visible when the screen displays bright or white colors.

What could be causing these dark gray patches? Is this a problem with the LED backlight, the LCD panel, or something else? And is it possible to repair ?

LG Television: The audio in my lg tv stopped working for some reason.

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 06:38:44 -0700

Hi,

I have had my LG smart tv for about three years now. The sound for it recently stopped working yesterday feb 20th. I looked online for several solutions to solve the issue but nothing seems to work. Model number. 42LB5600-UZ.AUSDLJM.

Can anyone help me solve this issue if you had it at one point with the same brand?

Thank you

Samsung 60" LED TV UN60FH6003FXZA: How do you test for a bad panel - other than replacing all the boards?

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 05:05:25 -0700

My UN60EH6050FXZA has sound & backlight, but no picture from the start - even with flashlight test.

My BN95-00628C T-con does have 12v at both ends of the fuse, so does this mean it is NOT likely to be the Main Board?

Neither half of the screen comes on when I disconnect either one of the two ribbons from the T-con board to the panel. So does that mean it is NOT likely the panel? But I've read other panel problems.

There is no voltage at the two twin “commonly failing” T-con board capacitors, which I understand typically have 35 volts. (the ones often sold in repair kits, along with an IC chip). Does this definitely mean a bad T-con board? Or could it still be panel - maybe even causing the T-con to fail? Thanks.

Reset is needed since an unexpected error has occurred.

Reset after rebooting the TV.

It doesn’t give me a chance to go to settings and reboot it manually.

TCL Television: TCL 55S41R has issues with display

Tue, 01 Sep 2026 08:33:27 -0700

History: My TCL 55S421R had an issue with the display. The picture stopped showing up, but the sound was still On. I could move around with the remote but couldn't see anything. The backlights were not an issue.

It turns out that there is a short on the LCD driver board on the right side of the screen. Figured this out by unplugging the ribbon cable for the right side, and the left side screen showed up on the display without any issue. When I switched over to the right and unplugged the left side ribbon, the whole screen was off.

I came across a YouTube video that helped troubleshoot a part of this issue. I was able to get the full display to work by covering a few pins on the right side ribbon cable with a tape. Now the display works; however, the right half seems to flicker when I look closely and pay attention (not so evident at first). The right side also looks a bit dull or washed out compared to the left side (See the images below)

(Found a YouTube video that shows this behavior https://youtu.be/zGAVbMQrSek?si=C-u1OqcJ...).

Image 1:

Notice the thumbnail for the "Rainbow colors song".

Image 2:

I scrolled to the right, and now notice the color difference for the thumbnail "Rainbow colors song". Similarly, notice the thumbnail with "what color is it"

Image 3:

Now notice the thumbnail with "what color is it"

Has anyone figured out a permanent fix for this, or even better, narrowed down the exact pin to mask with the tape that fixes this issue?

@oldturkey03 Have you come across this issue before?
