Hi,

Thanks to everyone for your responses. The first thing I look
for is bulging electroys, but in this case, not a single one is bulging.

Clarification on "Blinking Red Light":

The Red Light blinks (actually dims) when I press on the "ON/OFF"
(power) button, otherwise it is "steady" red.

Since my customer had this TV at his vocation home in FLA, and this
problem (won't turn on) occurred when he returned there, I have to consider
the possibility of storm damage since he keeps it plugged in when he is away,
and no surge protection.

Hi,

I am servicing a LG model 26LX2D 26" LCD TV that is "dead" (won't turn
on). The only sign of activity is a red blinking light near the remote sensor
receiver.

I do not have a SM for this TV yet. I don't want to risk ordering the
PS unit unless....

Has anyone repaired this model LG TV (dead)?

Thank You in Advance, John

PS, Remove "ine" from my email address

it could just be a bad "housekeeping supply" electrolytic in the PS;
the cap that supplies the switcher IC's Vcc,or a failed resistor that
charges it when the set is OFF. An ESR meter would show a high ESR for the
cap,even if it is not bulging or discolored.
