25L/07R is NOTAMED out of service (LAX 07028) since 7/29 for improvements. Maybe somebody resident at LAX knows when it will be back in service.
Understand the 25R LOC was reproted as failed by a pilot. Failure could not be duplicated. Suspect a ground vehicle entered the critical zone and caused the signal to be unservicable and alarms to occur. LOC was reset and returned to service a little after 1300 local. Rumor is it is the classic old mower in front of the antenna array trick, possibly from construction vehicles for the work on the parallel.
AP wire story circulated in states babbled about computer problem, etc etc, was mostly misleading and wrong, including from the FAA public affairs people. Must be a really slow news day when this makes wire services and front section of the newspaper, thoug to their credit it was not front page and ther were no lurid descriptions of children crying and women screaming.
