last night it does the black screen

Hi I have an LG 42Le4500 - ZA, it does the same thing powers on with the LG splash/clock then goes black , for a while whilst using it before this it was visible to see that some of the bulbs were out at the top of the screen picture , but as of last night it does the black screen , also sometimes when it had picture it would fade to a black screen but then turning it off n back on would work again , sounds the same issue everyone has posted , anyone had any advice on a possible fix ?

@mel_67 "some of the bulbs were out at the top " points toward bad LCD backlight strips. It is possible to replace those but you will have to disassemble your TV almost completely to get to them. It may also be a challenge to find the right strips. Contact places like this or this one and see if they can help you out with that. Let us know if you need specific instructions for your set. Post some images as you go along with your disassemble so we know how to assist you if you should get stuck. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question for that.

Different model, same idea.
