Lucky resistor.

how quickly do you blow it? Does it happen as soon as you turn it on, or does it spend some time?

If it doesn't come and go in a heated rush, do you hear any music or see any visions?

Does it smoke afterwards?

Enquiring minds need to know...

That blue component is a varistor, which is supposed to absorb large voltage spikes.
The designers obviously expected initial in-rush voltage spikes, and that was their effort to deal with them.
If your TV is otherwise working, I suspect other components in the circuit are wearing-out through age, and the voltage/current spikes are increasing.
I'd take a look at what else is in-line with your resistor/varistor, and try to determine the cause.

Steve it last for four five days, it burns with smoke and flame.

Varistor value was not written but resistor value is 47 ohms. Its only 4yrs old tv.

You have to work out if it is metal film or carbon.
Metal film will be say 1 watt and carbon will be 0.5 watt.
You can do a couple of things.
If it is metal film, use 2 x 22R 1 watt metal film in series.
Or 4 x 47R carbon in series parallel.

Okay I am trying to idendify its metal or carbon. Colin Mitchell may you please explain somemore detail about 2 x 22R 1 watt metal film in series.
Or 4 x 47R carbon in series parallel.

No its not the original. It was damaged completely. Yes blue one( may be varistor) is connected in series with the resistor. I cannot find its schematics so I tried a rough copy from the board which I have attached below.

Firstly you say they are in series and now you draw them in parallel.

Nothing is making any sense.

Oh I am too late to edit. Its my confusion between parallel and series. sorry its paraller not series.

I think what Colin is trying to get you to understand, is that because you already replaced your resistor, you may have replaced it with one that has the same resistance, but does not have the original wattage capability.
If that is true, your resistor keeps burning-up, because it can't handle the wattage.
You may not know the composition of the original resistor (what it's made out of), or that of the replacement resistor.
Logically then, it is possible your resistor won't burn-up anymore if you replace it with a resistor capable of handling the original wattage, or something bigger (wattage, not resistance).
I think Colin is just trying to help you determine if a low-wattage resistor alone, is the source of your problem.

The original resistor and the varistor were damaged completely and I cannot find this lcd tv model 22lg30r's schematics and components data. I use to replace with most probable value suggested by local technician but it keeps burning.

Two 22 Ω resistors in series is 44 Ω, close enough to the 47 Ω that is burning up, but twice the wattage capability of a single resistor.
Two 47 Ω resistors in series, paralleled with another two 47 Ω resistors in series, will be 47 Ω but with four times the wattage capability of a single 47 Ω resistor.

Hevans 1944 thank very much now I got the full meaning. Iam not good in electronics language.
