LG Flatron L1930SQ Is Not Working After Power Failure

Verifying Power

• The first thing to check when trying to resolve this issue is that the TV is receiving electrical power. Check the breaker that controls the circuit the TV uses and make sure it is not tripped. Verify that the L1930SQ's power cable is plugged in both on the TV side and the opposite end. If the TV is plugged into a power strip, make sure the power strip's power cable has not come loose and that the power strip is turned on. Check the TV's power again after verifying all this.

Power Strip Failure

• A common cause of this exact problem is that the power strip the TV is using was damaged during the power failure. To test this, check to see if the other items also using the power strip have power. If they do, plug the L1930SQ's power cable into another slot on the power strip to see if one individual outlet on the power strip was damaged. If there is still no power, simply plug the L1930SQ's power cord into an entirely different power strip, and replace the damaged power strip if the L1930SQ now has power.

Remote Programming

• Some HDTVs can lose the remote control's programming during a power surge. After the surge, you may think the L1930SQ has lost power when it does not respond to the remote control's "power" button, when actually all that has occurred is that the remote control has lost communication with the TV. The easiest way to test this is to press the power button mounted on the side of the L1930SQ and see if the TV now has power. If it does, simply follow the manufacturer's instructions for readdressing the remote control to the TV. Purchasing and programming a universal remote control to the L1930SQ is another way to test this.

Contacting LG

• In the failure of these troubleshooting steps to restore power to your L1930SQ, the TV was likely critically damaged during the power outage. In this case, it is best to contact LG and have a representative handle the issue. The LG representative will likely take you through additional troubleshooting steps and can provide warranty and replacement information should those steps fail to restore power to your L1930SQ.
