No, they don't make them like they used to, electronic components are crappy nowadays, especially capacitors. I'll bet you anything there is a bad cap in the powersupply, that or a cold solder, 2 most common problems. Cost to replace is cents, but no one wants to make the effort to check so they tell you its expensive and sell a new one. (I worked repairing TVs for 8 years before I got sick of it). LG is Korean, (Yes, former crap brand-Goldstar) Samsung is a little better, but all brands have the cheapest stuff possible inside nowadays. My 1976 Pioneer reciever still works fine!
