LG 50” TV The sticker has been removed from the back so I’m unsure of the model. It turns on, shows the big LG logo (splash screen, WebOS screen) then the screen turns grey (but lit) and a small LG logo shows up and constantly moves around the screen. Won’t do anything else, just a logo moving around the screen like a screen saver. This TV is not very old, maybe 3-4 years. But I received it used so I’m not going to put much into this but if it’s an easy fix I’d love to get it working! Update (01/30/2020)
@krgnegy do you have any remote for it? The odd thing here is that there are no markings on it which really complicates things. I’d suggest to remove the back cover and have a look at the boards. Post some good pictures of those with your QUESTION. Make sure that we can see the numbers on the boards. That may help to identify the TV. Step 1 for me would be to identify the TV. Step 2 Get Universal remote Step 3 evaluate all inputs and settings Step 3 if error still existent check main board.
Hi @oldturkey03 , Going by the board number EAX65391006 V1.1 it may be a LG 50LB5900 or any other LB5900 (LB5800?) screen size TV. Perhaps the TV hasn’t been setup properly i.e. scanned for channels in that location etc and if the OP doesn’t have the correct remote (states that inputs cannot be changed) then the TV may just go to “sleep”, hence the screen saver effect Perhaps the only way to check is to get (borrow?) a universal remote which has the codes for the model series or an original remote and see if the TV responds to more than the Power button and can perform other functions. What do you think?
