Question

TV problems

May 17, 2017 2:09PM PDT

Hello,

Just bought a refurbished TV (LG 49inch HD TV)

Got it home, plugged it in and the TV just flickers (see video)

The TV came with no power cable, the power cable is a DC fitting, I had one available from a laptop which I've used, could that be the issue?

No 49 inch model I've seen is DC.

While this is a warranty issue, the fact you wrote DC tells me something is way off base here.

Get a correct AC power cable for that model

If the problem still exists, you know you bought a lemon.
