SOURCE: closed captions will not disappear
Some TV will not display close caption in HD mode. This is why its Grey out in HD mode. If you switch to regular input, i can bet you your close caption will not be Grey out. The problem you are having is your cable box has close caption enable. You must go into the cable box menu and turn caption off. In some box you may have to call your cable provide for assistant.

SOURCE: Removal instructions for close caption
If you are hooked up to a cable receiver, the closed caption must be disabled in the cable receiver. With most cable receivers the closed caption must either be on or off and there is not cc button on the remote.

This is an issue with the power supply. The capacitors used are faulty and you likely have to get a new board(about $400.00) or fix it yourself. LG's are quite east to disassemble.
You will be able to tell it is the power supply board due to the cable running from the plug to the board. It will look similar to this
Next locate the bad capacitor, likely green and about the size of a quarter. You will be able to tell the bad capacitor by the bulge on the top.
At this point you can buy the new capacitor at a local t.v. repair shop for just a couple bucks or likely take the board to them and they should be able to fix it for 10-20 bucks. Unless you are decent with soldering I suggest taking the board in and having them replace the bad capacitor.
You will need a 2200µF 10V capacitor. I may suggest bumping to 2200µF 13-16V capacitor just so you don't have the same problem again.
Once the bad capacitor is replaced, replace the board and turn on the t.v. You should be good to go.

Hi,
This function is only available when Caption Mode is set to On. Otherwise the option will be greyed out.
So Go to Menu - Select Caption - Select On.
From here you should be able to select Digital Option and then Custom to change the caption sizes,
Thanks for using FixYa. Please do leave a vote for the solution
