Fixing my LG TV... by putting it in the oven 

WORKS !! - SEPTEMBER 2018 procedure. Followed the process line-by-line and now my 55" LG "LW" series 3D HDTV is reborn !! The smell from the baking lingered for a day but it is a small price to pay for fixing a $1400 TV for FREE !! Thanks for posting

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!

I have a 2011 42” LG 42LE5500, symptoms were horizontal lines across the display and not picking up input from any source. I came across your video after searching for 2 days on finding a replacement main board or a place that repairs logic boards. The part for my TV is obsolete and had no luck. So either way I was at the end of my options. Tried this fix and IT WORKED! Removed the board, popped it in the oven for 10min at 190 degrees Celsius, allowed it to cool down and reinstalled into the tv. Thanks for the fix!

Hi, first of all I want to thank you. My 60" LG Plasma had the same symptoms. My board was different and it was not available for me to remove in that fashion without having to buy new parts. Of course buying the new parts would have been risky on something I was not sure would work. So what I did instead was to get a small cube heater and position it directly behind each of the 2 boards on high heat for 20 minutes. Well when I was done I did not reattach the backing of the TV I just tested to see if I could get the LG logo back up on my screen. Well much to my delight, there it was. I am now watching a little golf and I owe you for giving me the idea. I did not video it as it was a lot of work lugging that old plasma up and down for me. I hope this helps someone else. Thanks again and again and again for sharing, I would have never tried what I tried without you. Have a Happy Easter. Michael

It's January 2020. And I'm excited --- your video just helped me to bring back to life my 10 year old Sharp Aquos LC-55le620ut. I mostly used your method with minor modifications: - preheating the oven to just 350F (177C) - wrapping my TV mainboard in tinfoil all around and putting it in a tinfoil tray - I placed it inside at about 150C while still preheating - after reaching 177C - I kept it in the oven for 7 minutes Voila! That was sufficient to resolder whatever bad connection. It didn't even smell. All glitches are gone, my Aquos is Made Great Again!

Yes, this worked! 10 yr old 60” plasma set with hdmi glitching - baked at 390F for 10 minutes with a 30 min cooldown. Worked!

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.

we did this by putting our whole tv in the shed on a super hot day and it worked for us too....we will have a video coming out about it soon....

I have a 60" LG 60PM6700 Plasma TV, 12 years old, with 4 faulty HDMI inputs. I baked the main board at 390F for 15 minutes, voila!, works. Did make a stink that lingered in spite of opening a window and running the stove's exhaust fan and some of the plastic around the RCA connectors slightly melted.

baked mine in the oven for 10 mins at 375 degrees and now mine works great

Amazing result! Beware though ... when eating your Christmas pudding .. you just might find that missing screw 😀

worked!!! on my lg 47le5400 i removed heatsinks and baked it for 15 minutes

Had the same Issue but since I have a model with plastic covers on the motherboard, I put it in the oven at 90° only for 30 minutes and it worked aswell !!!

Thanks a bunch! It worked!! I was really bummed out 'cause the hair dryer method didn't work, then saw your video, really appreciate it.

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!

You saved my life, THANK YOU.

I just tried this AND it worked!!!! Thank you so much for sharing

Totally worked for me! So pumped.

Woo brilliant happy ending!!

Yes, it works. I just found a 55" by the dumpster, did the oven trick, and pow, free 55" 120hz gaming tv that works.......

Mine is starting to go out apparently hdmi 1 and 3 works but hdmi 2 is not working anymore I guess I wait till all 3 go out

It's working....thank you

Worked like a charm!

Worked perfect for me - LG 47LX6500 - tumb up

I have a LG TV that I have done this 5 times with. I found this method the first time it stopped working. It has stopped working 4 more times since and every time 10 min at 385 has brought it back.

Dude I did it and it worked. Em ke alarms went off tho .. BUT IT WORKED

Jonathan when you took the board off did it have grease on the bottom and if so did you clean it or leave it? Mine seems to have a pretty good amount of grease on it.

after trying the oven method my tv didn´t turn on. I tried with a new mainboard replacement and now it turns on but there´s no image. Any ideas? thanks a lot in advance

Thanx body!!! Its working!!!

It seems this TV is weak at the HDMI connections. I have done this 4 times, pulled the board today for a 5th. It seems to blow up when I try to use a Firestick or Chromecast on the HDMI port for very long. I was able to get a longer duty cycle this time by putting my Firestick on HDMI 1 instead of 3 but alas here I am again.

I did this and hdmi is working but I have no sound through hdmi now not sure whats going on

Help needed!!! I have a similar situation with my LG monitor I'm able to see a black blank screen, when I connect my laptop through HDMI and I'm able to hear the audio but no video. Any idea this method will work with monitors? and I have a microwave oven. Is it any different from the oven you have? Should I give it a try?

Hi, this process worked for me. Someone who has done the process and tell us if the problem came back later?

This works. My hdmi ports stopped working and baking it in the oven made the ports works.

Brilliant JJ - A nice Golden brown ;)

Sadly didn't work for me. Thanks though for giving me something to try.

Can Explain Why putting in the Oven ?

"LG" = "Goldair" renamed. Pretty ordinary given that this issue (whatever it is!) is so common.

REMEMBER TO REMOVE ANY HEATSINK AND THERMALPADS (HE DIDNT) BEFORE U DO IT

He sets his oven for 200 everybody else says 380 to 385 which is correct

U have a nice oven ngl

Dude my motherboard scart connection molted in the oven😂😂you should of warned smartass. I only put it af 180 celsius for 8 min. How did your scart not even melt. Impossible

A HOW TO on removing all the shit from the board would be helpful

tried it waste of time dont work

Piease sent new video

... and 9months later, and the TV has died :(

My husband did what you say, we put it more than 30 minutes may be hour, after that my tv started to burn!!!! then we call the fireman!!! fucking english!

Play mikroval😂
