Antenna used to work just fine on LG50px1D then a couple of weeks ago, signal strength went from good to bad. Went from having over 40 channels to one then none. Plugged in another LG tv to see if it's the antenna but that one picked up all the channels just fine so it must be the LG 50PX1D. All other inputs work just fine but just can't get the over the air signals anymore. Any idea what can be done ?

It sounds that the tuner should be replaced. Contact any service technician. This is not a user repairable fault.

SOURCE: tv has no signal

sounds like the EDID data has been corrupted in your main board. it can be reprogrammed but most techs will just replace the board. either way someone will have to come out and look at it. it should have a 2 year parts and labor warr on it. call LG cust service and get someone out there.

SOURCE: LG 50PX1D 50 in. Plasma TV

i just had the same problem. after talking to many tv repair people i finally got a knowledgeable person to help me. i ordered the part and fixed it myself.
it was very easy. i have an LG model# 50px1d. so if you had this problem i suggest you order the part yourself and fix it. i got an estimate for repair and it wouldv'e cost me at least $500 parts and labor. i paid $230 for the part. so you can see i saved a little more than half. the part you need is the " Z SUS " ASSEMBLY. you can order the part from LG website. the part # is 6871QZH044C.
let's just say after doing everything myself, i am watching TV right now.
by the way LG would not help me at all. spread the word that LG is not a good product.

LG47lc7df Antenna signal

It is possible you are experiencing tuner problems. If you cannot pick up any channels regardless of the antenna used, sounds like tuner problems.

No antenna level at all.

Do you mean no signal strength? Do you have an internal or external aerial antenna? Is the signal split between multiple TVs? You can look at antennaweb.org and tvfool.com for the recommended antenna type and direction and available channels in your area. Antennaweb is very conservative in its advice (and won't list some channels). You should also check that you have no damage to your wiring. Part of my house was wired with twist-on connectors. These have come loose from the wire at the amplifier/splitter that lets us share the signal for two TVs. The crimp-on connectors have been damaged by our pets running through in other locations. Lightning damaged one amplifier/splitter a few months ago.

Indoor antennas are even harder to get a good digital signal.

If you have a satellite dish, that often means the dish isn't aligned correctly.

I hope this helps.

Model LG50PX1D Loud pops, screen is red, picture hard to make out

One of the boards went bad. The sound you heard is either of a capacitor or an IC. It might be a bad Sustain board. Look at the boards you may find a bad chip with a hole in the middle or a capacitor with blister on the top.

Good luck

Recently installed two Philco TB100HH9 Converter boxes. Both worked well at first then both lost a major local TV station within days and cannot reprogram it into the box. Have two other TV's without a...

I just had a similar problem with this box - For the first month or two, I got the local NBC affiliate (KING-5 in Seattle) just fine on 5.1, then, after fiddling with my antenna setup, I lost it completely - NOTHING I could do would get it back. I tried a bunch of stuff - Multiple types of antenna, adding an antenna amp box, a handful of "homebrew" antennas - Nada. Yet all my other channels came in fine (although a couple were right on the edge - This box seems to need a "17" or higher on the signal strength - Some of my channels were reading in the 15-18 range, and suffering the "blockies" and sound dropout)

After hitting TVfool.com, found out that the KING digital signal is actually broadcasting on channel 48. Punched in 48.1, and there it was, clear as a bell, using nothing but a "wick" antenna (Basically, strip 4-1/4 inches of the outer braid off one end of a piece of co-ax cable, leaving the center wire alone, then plug the other end into the box) getting me a 23 signal strength. But a second or two later, the box is displaying "5.1" - Weirdness...

Reconnected a near top-of-the-line Winegard Yagi/Log-periodic antenna - VERY directional, and has some gain all by itself - and the signal jumped above 50.

Still couldn't "channel-up/channel-down" or punch in "5.1" to tune it, though - Channel 5.x was a "dead zone" as far as the box was concerned.

Re-did the "autoscan", and now, it's back to normal - I can channel-up/channel-down to it at 5.1, or I can punch it in as 5.1, or I can punch it in as 48.1, and it's all good.

So, try re-doing the auto-scan. Worked for me...

Samsung LCD LNT4042H

Hi Barb,
Unfortunatly the problem you are asking about is a normal happening in our area with customers of mine that use rabbit ear or house mounted antennas ( Normally not cable or satellite dish). This problem sounds to me like a lack of signal strength on certain channels where your loosing your sound. Since your LCD TV is digital it requires a bit more signal strength to produce sound and picture. Maybe a better antenna, or redirection the antenna toward the station transmitter. Hope this helps.
