LG召回60,000台OLED高清电视
LG电子
已决定在韩国召回约60,000台OLED高清晰度电视，以替换可能会过热的电源板，
韩国的联合新闻报道。
此次召回影响了2016年2月至2019年9月销售的18种不同型号的OLED电视，包括OLED 65G8和OLED 77W9。
2020年的OLED型号似乎没有发现类似的安全问题。
LG表示，已经修复了大约60,000套需要新电源板的OLED中的22,000套。

该公司补充说，目前在海外出售的产品不需维修，但它正在“调查其他市场”以解决潜在的安全问题。
LG said in a statement.
“The overheating issue occurred only in very few models out of the total that used the component, but we will provide free component swaps for all of them for customer safety,”
According to LG,
the faulty components in the power boards
are used to minimize noise from currents.
As the affected TV’s performance degrades, the current increases on the power board, creating a “current overflow” that can lead to potential overheating.
Here is the full list of models affected by the recall:
OLED65E6, OLED65G6 and OLED77G6 from 2016; OLED65B7, OLED65C7, OLED65E7, OLED65G7, OLED65W7, OLED77G7 and OLED77W7 from 2017; OLED65G8, OLED65W8, OLED77C8 and OLED77W8 from 2018; and OLED65W9, OLED77B9, OLED77C9 and OLED77W9 from 2019.
Meantime, Korean archrival Samsung
recently faced complaints about malfunctioning Blu-ray players that entered into an endless startup loop.
The tech giant responded by saying on its support page
that “we are aware of the boot loop issue that appeared on certain 2015 Samsung Blu-Ray players and are offering free mail-in repairs to customers who have been impacted.”
Those with affected devices are asked to call 1-800-SAMSUNG.
Samsung, however,
seems to be holding up much better than LG amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In its earnings guidance earlier in the month, the company said that its overall profit likely rose 23%.
LG, meanwhile,
forecast a profit decline of 24% for the second quarter. Just last month, LG launched its first 48-inch OLED HDTV, part of the CX Series, to mostly positive reviews.

LG has launched a repair program for some of its OLED
TVs sold in South Korea since 2016,

The issue is related to components in the TVs’ power boards, which LG said
could cause current increase leading to potential overheating as performance degrades over time.
A spokesperson for the company
said that the issue only appears to be affecting TVs sold in South Korea for now, but added that LG is “investigating other markets” for potential issues.
