LG 32CS560 Power Supply Board Replacement

Introduction

Replacing the power supply board inside the LG 32CS560 is a simple task to complete with the proper preparation. It involves opening up the TV, identifying the bad power supply board, removing it, adding a new power supply board, and re-assembling the TV.

Note, only replace the power supply board if you know it is the cause for your TV's problems. If the TV doesn't turn on or only the LED's on the front of the TV turn on, then the power supply is likely to blame. Use the troubleshooting guide to help you determine if you need to replace the power supply board. Also, an annoying wining noise or burn marks on the power supply board indicate it has failed.

Please have a replacement power supply board ready to go as well. The model of power supply is the LGP32-12P. You can purchase it from numerous sites such as eBay here.
