TV only powers on when spamming power button

Hi,

Model number: LG OLED65B9SLA

So my LG OLED TV has developed this problem, where I have to spam the power button for several seconds for it to eventually power on. After roughly 10 seconds the power supply will start clicking, like you'd expect, and the TV will power on and function perfectly.

I've removed the back plate to look for any obvious causes but nothing looks burned or the like.

With the TV on the table and spamming the power-button, I can hear the sound of some component charging up, on the main board, higher and higher pitch sound with each press of the power button until finally the power supply wakes up and the TV powers on.

If I turn the TV off, I can hear a component (perhaps the same component) in the same area constantly ticking (3/second) indefinitely. If I do the usual hardware reset of holding down the power button for 10 seconds (to ground the capacitors, I'm guessing) the component whines a little and the ticking stops.

My best guess is, that the start-up circuit on the main board is fried. My logic being, that if it was a power-supply issue I would have other issues when actually using the TV, but like I described it functions perfectly once it's on.

Here are some videos of the noises:

  • UPDATE AND SOLUTION BELOW ***

Alright, time for an update. I'll try and keep it short but I'll answer any questions.

I ordered a new motherboard for my TV and while waiting for it to arrive, one evening the TV blew the fuse in my apartments fuse box, before blowing its own later. This led me in the direction of the faulty board actually being the power-supply, despite my initial findings. I ordered up a new power-supply as well, installed both components and the TV now functions flawlessly again.

The new motherboard is identical to the old one.

The new power-supply has some differences. I'll include some pictures below for comparison.

Another finding, the noise I described in my initial post, from a component on the motherboard is still present with the new motherboard and power-supply. It's probably just normal and only something you would ever notice if your TV was acting up.

@hansgruber44193 what are your board numbers? Your Power supply starts with EAX683......?

Sorry, forgot to include those.

Power supply: EAX68364701

Main board: EAX68784905

facing the exact same issue, did you ever get to fix it?

@frankfrey Currently waiting for a new main board to be delivered. Will report back.

I would start by looking at the capacitors on the power supply board to see if any have hooved up tops, look burned or as if they have leaked. Then next I would check the points/relays on the board.

Thanks for the input. I've checked everything visible. I haven't removed the main board yet and checked the back-side or under the heat sink. All capacitors look healthy, as far as I can tell.

@hansgruber44193 essentially you are right. It could be the main board, but it could also be the power board. It is the main board that tells the power board to turn on <simplified>. What you want to do, is to start measuring the voltages on the connector, where the mainboard connects to the power board. those voltages are printed on the power board. See if you have all of those voltages, in particular the STBY andPwr_On voltages.

Thanks for the reply. I'll get the multimeter out and start checking voltages. It's pretty convenient it's printed directly on the PCB. I added close-up pictures of the connectors on the power board.

@hansgruber44193 Excellent. thanks for the pictures. It'll help.

@hansgruber44193 so what finally fixed your TV? The main board, or the power board, or something totally different?

As per my recent update: "I ordered up a new power-supply as well, installed both components and the TV now functions flawlessly again."

If I had to guess, I would say the power-supply was the faulty component all along, but it was hard to diagnose because when the TV eventually powered on, all voltages were correct.

@hansgruber44193 I agree with your guess. It’s common for it to fail but hard to diagnose since the initial voltages are there but one of the IC’s fails and the board does not turn the other circuits on. Glad you got it working, no matter what it was 👍
