Hi

I have had my LG RI-28CZ10RX for a year and a half now and today when I switched it on the picture came on for a minute or two then slowly greyed out to a black screen. I still get sound but no picture. Anyone know if this is a common fault with this set? How much it might cost to fix?

Bit aggreived that its decided to bust 6 months after the 12 month warrantry Anyone had any luck with LG paying up even though its not within the 12 months?

Cheers for any help.

i'll post the problem i'm having first:

Hi, i have a 2 year old Lg ri-28cz10rx tv which is out of warranty has started behaving erratically. The picture becomes momentarily brighter, and then darkens until black. It occasionally comes back on, with a reversal of the previous process. Dark to light in a steady action. Sound is not affected, just picture. I have checked all leads, and sources, but the tv is the problem. I have brought up the on screen display whilst the picture darkened, to see if the picture components/settings were changing but they remained static. Do you know what the problem is, and can it be easily/cheaply repaired?

Did you manage to find out what was up with yours? if so how much did it cost you? thanks

That could quite easily be a dry joint on the line output transformer heater supply pins and should be relatively inexpensive to fix.
Best to call in a local engineer.
