Have you tried checking the HDMI connections for connected devices?

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedjc4q wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:02 AM

Yes and even when I try to open another app. It stays the same

Watchdog165 t1_jedjik4 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:05 AM

Hmm… we’ve still got a tv form like 2008 in the house and it works perfectly. Check any power cable connections. Plug it out and plug it in again. And have you tired turning it on and off again…?

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedjkjo wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:05 AM

Yes. And removing the power plug and connecting it again

Watchdog165 t1_jedjmqz wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:06 AM

Does your power go out regularly? It could’ve damaged something

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedjtc5 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:08 AM

It never goes out. But there was a case of too much current flowing in? Recently I think. And I kinda suspect that a few drops of water may have entered could that be the root of the problem?

Might have shorted the tv? Does it turn on? Does it have a red light when off? Check other devices plugged into the same place. We’ve had it happen where ants made a nest in the plug and ate the wires

It turns on just fine and even the audio is good. But the display is completely grey. Can I dm you the pic?

Watchdog165 t1_jedk2cl wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:11 AM

Sure let’s see what it does

Watchdog165 t1_jedkloq wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:18 AM

I sent you a msg in chat

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedkre9 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:20 AM

I got the invite to the chat it doesn't appear in the chat logs

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedksf2 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:21 AM

Discord?

Watchdog165 t1_jedkuct wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:21 AM

Try closing Reddit then open it up again. And try switch to data sometimes it goes funky

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedjld8 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:06 AM

Could be because of power fluctuations?

Watchdog165 t1_jedjnvf wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:06 AM

Also check any other plugged in things. It could be the wall plug

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedjtsv wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:08 AM

Lemme try that

ZoikWild t1_jedk6n5 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:13 AM

Shine a flashlight on the screen while it's on. If you see traces of what should be appearing then you need to replace the LEDs.

Competitive_Travel92 OP t1_jedk9fu wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:14 AM

Thank god it isn't displaying what should be appearing. So it's the mother board to replace?

ZoikWild t1_jedkw19 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 6:22 AM

I don't know. I only had to replace the LEDs when I learned how to check if it's broken. Good luck!

katril63 t1_jedr3w7 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 7:47 AM

For what it's worth, unless it's a super expensive TV, getting a new one is probably not a whole lot more expensive than replacing the motherboard.

You can get a pretty large screen smart TV for just over $300.

Help. Lg tv display gone blank
