I didn't bake it but took a hair dryer to the black/dark gray box on the piece. I heated it pretty well and it worked. Didn't have to bake, just took about 3 minutes with a hair dryer and no worries about making your house smell.
To prevent it happening again, never ake out the power cord while not in use, let it be in standby mode always! I found out that the board stops working when it has been left in a cold (below 10' Celsius) room for a week or so without the power cord attached. So, never unplug the power cord (tv, blu-ray surround etc). I`m baking my board for 2 time now. Lesson learnd. EDIT: Last time it lasted for 3 years, and it also worked today! 200`Celsius in 12 minutes
I did this last night. do it at 392 F (200 C) for 10 minutes. let it cool for 30 minutes with the oven off and oven door open. then move it to the kitchen counter and let it cool some more for 30 minutes. *now to prevent any smells first make a pouch out of parchment paper, place the board in the pouch, and staple the open ends closed. then make a pouch out of aluminum foil, place the board in the parchment paper into the aluminum pouch, and fold the open ends of the aluminum several times to make it air tight. do not open the pouches in the house after the board has baked and cooled.* I went to my garage to get the board out of the pouches. there were exactly no fumes or smells while I did any of this because of the aluminum pouch being sealed by the folds and opening the pouches in my garage. once installed, the board has been working ever since.
@@preytec yes works very well; it's the main TV of the house, and is used a lot every day. I have noticed when there is an extreme change in weather (mostly cold snaps), it prompts the board to start failing and needing to be baked. the baking procedure I detailed works like a charm every time.
Well, i know this was a specific problem with this LG LED mother board. But hey, if the tv has kicked the bucket, then what could be the harm in trying it, right? Let me know if u try it out
The sweetest words were, "It works, Grandma!" Great video! Thanks and God Bless!
Baked a board from an older 42" LG. Went with 300 degrees for 15 minutes. It worked!
And the smell wasn't that bad. Many thanks!
Had same issue with mine just baked it and now its working. A big thanks 😊
Master of tech support ! Thanks for showing how to take off that clamp.

Well thanks for the tip. Whatever works, I’m down to experiment on the next one.

baked mine in the oven for 10 mins at 375 degrees and now mine works great
Good job sir 👍
Not lg cx it just melted the optical input and didnt fix anything
Tried this on my 42lx6500, no luck.. power turns on but screen is black, not even lg logo
This is not safe at all....but whatever works...to save a buck or two. I fix my Samsung as well it was blown capacitors. Good job
sup3rm4nf35o you probably cant see it, but there was fear in my eyes.
did the lg logo appear before you fixed it?
Yes Kara it did
It’s been 6 mos... any update?
Surg e the tv has blacked out again at the 7 month mark. The next thing to do is buy the mother board, if i can find one.
Does it work for any TV
ASM Damon from my research, no. It just works on this LG LED or very similar LED tv
You didn't show before trying to turn on...
Can you do this to a Samsung flat screen tv
