If your LG OLED tv is either completely dead (no standby light) or has a flashing standby light then it may be possible to repair.

Affected models:

Samsung UE49KS7000U led tv dead/no power repair

Posted by Peter Hancock on Friday, June 10, 2022, In : Repair

I had two of these fantastic looking Samsung UE49KS7000U led tvs come into the workshop this week. Both with the same fault - dead/no power and although the faulty components in question were slightly different they were both repairable at a reasonable cost (Estimate £75-80).

This Samsung model looks more modern than some of the tvs being churned out now by the industry and well worth the fix.

LG 43UK6470 (and similar) no image/display repair - Backlights ok

We are seeing a number of LG tvs (usually 43" and 55") that are coming into the workshop with no display/no image however the backlights and other functions seem to be working ok. This can be down to a fault on the lcd panel (aka the screen) and instead of replacing the whole lcd panel which is usually uneconomical - we have a good chance of repairing the existing one and getting a perfect picture again. If your LG model is not ...

Recently one of these very large tvs came in for repair with symptoms of no power.
Thankfully our bench is just about big enough for this beast and we were able to dismantle it for inspection.

On inspection we found blown components on the power board causing the fault. We can source various repair kits for this model and should be able to repair this at a reasonable price.

Samsung tvs with purple/bluey picture or has white spots on screen

There have been a number of Samsung tvs coming into the workshop with either a purple/bluey picture issue or have white spots.

Purple/bluey picture:
This fault is caused by a chemical change in the leds, which leads to a change in the colour they emit.

We're now starting to see a few Samsung UE46F5000AKXXU led tvs coming into our workshop that no longer start up although they have a flashing red standby light showing there is still power present. Some of these initially had start up problems but would eventually work, but after extended use, then failed to come on at all.

Despite not being made in the same factory as most other tv brands, they appear to suffer from a similar fault to others so we have a ready stock of components to fix them.

Posted by Peter Hancock on Tuesday, March 15, 2016, In : Repair

The latest batch of Toshiba TV models appear to have similar problems to the 22BL702B/19DL502B/22DL702B/22DL704B range.

The models 22DL833B, 22DL834B, 24DL1333B, 24DL1333B2 and 24DL1433DB all have a common fault where they will suddenly turn off while on and then lose power becoming completely dead. They may also decide just not to turn on one day with a flashing standby light. Although 24" and similar size TVs don't cost the Earth these days - they are even cheaper to repair.

Pioneer KRP500P Plasma TV repair - 8 blue standby flashes

Posted by Peter Hancock on Friday, December 4, 2015, In : Repair

Pioneer TVs, compared to other TV manufacturers, tend to be much more of a challenge to repair, and their pricing strategy for spares tend to raises questions whether they even want their TVs to be repairable at a reasonable and sane price.

However if we can get down to component repair, such as in this case, then it becomes much more affordable.
The Pioneer KRP-500P display is a solid bit of tech, though with all TVs, can go wrong. If your Pioneer KRP-500P intermittently won't turn on and give...

LG 42LS575T Led tv intermittent no picture/backlight repair (sound ok)

We have had a few LG 42LS575T led tvs in recently with all similar issues. While surprising to see such young tvs already appearing in our repair shop, it is encouraging to see that they are quite repairable and at what I believe to be at an affordable cost.

We can now source the screen components required to repair LG tv models that suffer from no picture/no backlights issues (but the sound comes on ok).

LG (and other manufacturers) have long denied tv engineers the parts required for this economical repair which meant a lot of tvs got unnecessarily thrown out at the dump by people. It is very encouraging to see LG and Samsung now starting to supply screen components and hopefully others will follow suit.

Evotel LCD40USBFHD picture too bright/colour bleed issues/solarised

Posted by Peter Hancock on Tuesday, December 2, 2014, In : Repair

Not a well known make, but we have found that the Evotel LCD40USBFHD uses the same screens that you will find in a lot of Samsung TVs. These sometimes get a fault where the picture is too bright or the colour runs or shows the wrong colours in faces etc. The picture may become solarised or negative, and all these faults may be present on switch on or occur after the tv has warmed up after a few minutes.

This is usually due to components overheating, and not necessarily a faulty screen.

These also have a good number of external connections available that modern TVs no longer have due to cost-cutting, and the HD picture will be just as good, if not better...

Although Plasma TVs are not my favourite thing in the world, I have to admit that LG, Panasonic and Samsung have made some rather nice ones.

However, now that Panasonic and others have pulled the plug on production of DVD/VCR Combi's these will become rarer to find. The good news is that should your Panasonic DMR-EZ47V (or similar model) stop playing DVDs, we can now source spares including lasers. The cost of the repair can be quite high if the laser needs replacing (Around the £100 mark) but can still be cheaper than the second-hand marke...

Goodmans GTVL32W17HDF & GTVL32W27HDF LCD TV Repairs

Posted by Peter Hancock on Friday, July 6, 2012, In : Repair

Even though Goodmans isn't what it once was, an actual company, and now more of a badge, some of their tvs to come out in the last 5 years are still worth saving.

The GTVL32W17HDF & GTVL32W27HDF models are good examples of this.

Good looking, slim, and HD Ready, these can still punch above their weight in sound and picture quality. An added bonus is that it has 2 scart ports compared to the usual 1 (or 0) you get in new "Smart" TVs, handy for that old VCR or DVD Player you may still like to u...

Toshiba Freeview Issues - No Picture or Sound

Posted by Peter Hancock on Friday, May 11, 2012, In : Repair

There is a known fault with the Toshiba 32C3030D / 32C3030DB series where the Inbuilt Freeview can suddenly stop working. It will lose both sound and picture and if you press menu then the menu screen only briefly appears. You may find that external sources (e.g. DVD player) will work perfectly fine.

We now have a permanent fix for this and can have it repaired on the day it is brought into the shop. The charge of the repair should be under £50, and in my view, a worth-while fix as the Toshib...

Yet more Samsung LCD TVs in for repair!

Posted by Peter Hancock on Tuesday, April 24, 2012, In : Repair

Within the last couple of months we have seen an increase in the Samsung A55 model versions coming in for repair. This includes the LE40A557P2FXXU and LE40A559P4FXXU. They appear to have a similar power supply issue to the older LE40R88BDXXEU and LE40R87BDXXEU models but currently we can repair them slightly cheaper and due to components required.

If you have a Samsung LE40A557P2, LEA559P4F or a similar model and it is taking longer to turn on, turns itself off or refuses to turn on at all (p...

LG 32LG7000 LCD TV Picture issues

Posted by Peter Hancock on Thursday, January 19, 2012, In : Repair

We have recently had an increase of faulty LG LCD TVs, and although rarely the same problem, we have noticed that the LG LG7000 series, most notably the LG 32LG7000ZA, there is an issue where the picture can switch off at random intervals yet the sound remains perfectly fine.

Although this usually suggests faulty components, it can just be a case that the TV just needs a good servicing. This service could cost as little as £30+VAT so please consider having it repaired before letting it end up...
