Samsung LN40C530 Dead. Can I fix this one?

[@cruiserusa]

You just earned my subscription. I had a repair shop for around 10 years in the 90's and then moved my career to the aerospace. I miss some of the challenges I had those days.

[@12voltvids]

I moved to the Telecom industry. But i like to keep a hand in this stuff.

[@ultron6931]

Great video!! I got the famous samsung TV with the bad caps years ago for free and at the time it was just the caps. Replaced them and viola! Great TV about 4 years later got the clicking on and off and thought it was bad caps again. Was not. Spent a month chasing it down to believing it was the power board but I was getting a pulsing on off power on the standby wire. Spent some time and came across a mention on the video board about some components around Capacitor C102 with the IC regulator next to it. The fix was to replace the SMD cap and the regulator. I opted to just touch up the solder on the board and add a 10uf cap onto C102 and tv works great again. I thought it was a bad CCFL tube as the set reports over 120,000 hours. Tv still works great. Better picture than some of the LED tvs of the time. I'll watch this video again if I have more troubles. Thanks for the video.

[@trevormupasi6886]

This is really helpful. I was almost giving up on my old LCD TV and I have already blown my multimeter... Keep it up man!!!

[@GeorgeGeorge-xj2bc]

Also the faulty lamp can be disconnected from the pcb and solder as a dummy load a capacitor in the range of picofarad from 22pf to 220pf 3KV.The value can be found experimental,a small capacitor means disconnected lamp,a large one shortcircuited lamp.So something between the two ranges.

[@beanMosheen]

Just put a LN40C630 back in service. One was sensing 0.960V right at startup. Thanks a ton!

[@ozzstars_cars]

An oscilloscope would have seen the spike. 😉 Nice find and fix

[@tonyhawk123]

I'm a complete electronics noob and even i intuitively understood the issue and how it was solved. Nicely explained. I'd have probably struggled without the hand drawn diagram though.

[@josephantony5589]

Very nice and helpful so patiently measuring the voltages I think I don't have this much I may have to develop. Thank you Sir.

[@nikstolhs5177]

Excellent video as always. But wouldn't be better to measure the dropping voltage across one of the transformers and then calculate and put a resistor, which will result in the same voltage drop as in the other transformers? Now you will have slightly increase voltage in the working transformers, so more stress to the working lamps.

[@CliveChamberlain946]

Nice Video. It would be interesting to see how long a stop-gap solution like this works, since the remaining 11 transformers now see almost 10% more drive (also the remaining tubes..). When a tube fails, AFAIR it can't establish an arc, so it goes Hi-Z, this means more feedback voltage (again an FB on the diodes) so it may be healthier in the end to short the tiny sense winding or do a quick knife-cut on the trace to the diode.

[@12voltvids]

The additional voltage on the tube won't make any difference. Running a fluorescent tube under voltage is actually harder then running it over.

[@bigdog8882]

Good Vid. Had one, but after jumping across the transformer the picture stayed on but the BL was flashing. Removing the entire transformer cured the problem. Thanks.

[@alvarovallejos8465]

I have the European version of this TV, still working fine. I guess using the eco mode does help those ccfl tubes last longer.

[@DollySvengali]

I had a funny one trying to fix like this. The lamps came on for a second, something in one of the lamps or the transformers would audibly buzz, then it would shut the lamps off. So I'm going through all the sense lines, grounding each one as I power on the tv, as you were doing, and then grounding one of them the lamps stay on, but then the buzzing sound would change pitch, ALL the lamps would dim and flicker, then it would stay on, or run a while and shut off. Then other ones would make the lamps stay on, then after I grounded all of them one at a time, the TV stays on and I can hardly hear a buzz. I'd found and replaces a few bad caps in the power supply earlier, maybe the bad caps were leaking some kind of charge into the sensing system and it all had to be discharged. All the lamps seem fine now, weird.

Thanks for your informative video. I live in Iran and you helped me a lot with this video Thanks

[@johntube2525]

You earned a subscriber for a great video and good explanation I like your pencil diagram of the wiring. If this noob understand what you did, perhaps a penciled in pin 1 for input and penciled in pin 3 for out for the primary would have helped. Or also putting that caption you added in your video a few second later on to your diagram, would have also been helpful, for me. Also a penciled in pin 2 for ground and penciled in pin 4 to diode, would have been advantageous to this noob. If I am understanding this correctly; when you soldered a pin to pin 4 and then putting a jumper wire from pin 4 to ground you basically took the diode out of circuit or you basically took the monitoring side, out of circuit. Therefore, no shut down since the monitoring side is out of circuit. When you soldered a jumper wire from pin 1 to pin 3, you are basically taking the primary for that particular light out of circuit or the wire then acts just like putting that particular winding in serious by bypassing it. As an alternative could you have soldered a wire from pin 2 to pin 4, I am assuming pin 2 is the ground from you diagram, which would have taken the monitoring side out of circuit and it would leave the primary still in circuit. Perhaps best to take primary out of circuit to avoid future potential overheating, smoke, etc. Sorry, lots of wondering from a Noob. But, I am sure you made this video for us Noobs, not the professional.

[@Sloxx701]

Nice work. I have a set right now I'm working on for someone that has a bad CCFL bulb. Since he's paying for the fix I'm going to order a bulb and pray that it makes it in on piece, as I've never had one shipped to me before. They are cheap so it wouldn't be a huge loss. I really don't want to bypass the transformer or the protection circuit, but I did think about it.

[@12voltvids]

Bypassing the lamp is very common in the repair industry. Everyone I know in the business bypasses lamps because of the hassle and potential damage to the screen or tabs tearing it apart. If a screen only had 4 lamps, then if you bypass you will definitely see it on the screen. With 12 lamps it is barely noticeable unless you are staring at a static screen. On moving images this is not even detectable to the eye.

[@Sloxx701]

Yeah, that's true. I've already torn the tv down to get access to bulbs though, took me maybe 20 mins (I'm used to doing it to tvs at this point.) Might as well just wait for the bulbs to get here. I have spare bulbs, just not for a 42" at the moment. Also, my parents just had me fix their 55" LED Hitachi a few weeks ago, the thing was a YEAR old. It wouldn't start, the output to the LED backlight was really high voltage, so I had to check the LEDs. Tore it apart, sure enough, one was blown. I bypassed it with a 1N4148 and slapped it back together, runs fine. Do I notice that one little dark spot? Yeah, but nobody else does lol. So you are right, it would just annoy me if I knew it was there.

[@12voltvids]

This set is being sold, and I won't get 1.00 more for it with a new bulb in it, so it goes the way it is.

[@Sloxx701]

Understandable, I am tired of tearing them apart too, overdriven backlights are just causing so many failures. I meant to ask about your scope also but I see you haven't had any luck yet from the other comment

[@repairfreak]

Interesting video, thanks. Next show us how to prevent a power supply from shutting down or toggling on/off all backlights when you have one or more bad LEDS on a backlight strip in a LED Backlit type Television 😁👍. These strips can be a pain to replace.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

Fixed my Samsung thanks to you. 👍🏻

[@KpxUrz5745]

Greatly enjoyed. I could watch 100 such vids to learn more. I'm not a repair technician but have some electronics background, would love to repair my Samsung tv. We recently had town power outtage. Once power returned, I figure a surge killed the tv. Black screen except for a very dim overall lighting, no sound. Some of these power supply boards have fuses, but mine doesn't. Why no fuse? Watching several repair vids, it seems like the problem could have several causes. If power surge caused this, what is the most likely problem? Thank you so much. Would love to learn more.

[@larrypierce2777]

How much trouble and expense is the tube replacement? I've got a question. When you see a line across the screen or maybe two or three, what causes this? I've seen where people discard them because of this problem or give the sets away. enjoyed this session very much. One television repairman in a very small town called Rendon Texas, acted like the New LEDS were not repairable. I know the Plasmas were a big problem. Didn't take long for them to disappear. Thanks for the the video. I noticed that with time, you have gotten better and better with your presentations. I was watching one from 2014 and big difference. Tally Ho...keep up the great work.

[@MattOGormanSmith]

I replaced a tube in a laptop once. I was very proud of myself but it only lasted about a year, so it's not worth spending the time and money (£10 for the tube) again for that old machine. I've got 2 LCD screens with multiple tubes, that won't turn on because I presume a single tube is dead. I'm either going to transplant a tube to give one a full complement, or fit a ballast in place of the dead tubes. It's fiddly work peeling the panel apart, but when you get down to it, it's just 2 solder joints to fit a new tube. I've considered making a long, thin pcb with white LEDs to replace the laptop tube, but that's probably more work than it's worth unless I sell them.

[@Lord_Atajan]

We changed whole tubes still didn't work, as we discovered from this video, the problem was in transfrormer

[@thecentralscrutinizer5105]

I'm starting to think this could be my problem on this LN46B550K I have. Got this and a LN40A550 from a dumpster month or so back, 40" was an obvious fix with 2 "bulgers" on PSB (2006-8 counterfeit caps scam) Still going strong ;) the 46" had a blown thermistor and fuse, powered up ok after replacing. Then starting couple weeks ago, it had that bright to dim fast flicker to it after power up, but would eventually mellow out (not full brightness, but watchable) If I went in user menu and tried to adjust backlight strength, it would start doing the fast bright to dim flicker again, eventually stopping. So now I go into service menu and see that it has almost 11,000 hours on it. (Note: I had a firmware upgrade for it from Samsung and did that as well, although after upgrade, hours went to 0 and the purchase date was the day of the update 12/13/2017...lol) As of yesterday, now when I power up, picture comes on in flashes, 4 times @ 1 sec intervals, then goes black (Audio still there). I'm assuming current sense shutdown in process because I get no AC from source supply after it goes black I havent peeled the screen back to see the ccfl's, but I'm imagining that they're pretty blackened by now. If this IS the problem, I'm wondering if I can convert to LED??, I'm sort of like you 12v, I have a vast graveyard of panel carcuss's, just don't have any ccfl's that would fit a 46", but LED's on the other hand.... ;) Thanks as always, ~Malfunction Junction

[@dkoxperiakoziukov3808]

Hi there! What if you solder a variable resistor between the transformer and lamp to find out the limitation current. As I may envisage (correct me if I'm wrong) the lamp current limitation may lower the values which appear to be shut down the TV. The light could become dimmer or blank totally. But who knows? May be it's still enough to cast some light and reduce the shadowing on the screen. If I got your situation right the lamp tube cathode voltage was rising. So I may assume that the faulty lamp resistance is lower than the rest, and it appears to be the reason. Don't take it as an "enlightened teaching" coming out to you from the sky. I'm just curious if I'm able to solve a similar issue myself. But I suggest to figure the highest voltage value that the lamp power consumption produces with the protection bypass, not for too long of course. And in case it won't get any higher than the values you've already known I would try this approach.

[@gregcarter2069]

I have a Samsung LN46C530 TV exhibiting the exact same problems...did the test on backlight inverter board as you described and found that grounding the sense pin on 2nd xfmr from bottom of board made the backlight stay on. Then I did the jumpers from pin 1 to 3 on that xfmr and the set ran for about 30 mins...beautiful picture. But then backlight went off again ....still have audio and vol up/down and ch up/down are working. What do you suggest now ????? Could I have caused another CCFL to fail ?

[@robyounce4636]

Get an Infrared heat gun and some freeze spray. Great for isolating thermals. Over Current creates heat. 🙂

[@ryangilley3212]

I have a 40" Samsung LCD. I have sound but no picture. I can see images with the flashlight test. I have replaced both the backlight inverter board and the power supply board and still not working. The back lights flash for only a second when tv is turned on then they go off. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

[@HB-ct8hh]

I have a Philips 42 inch tv about 10 years old. Its always had this problem: It sporadically turns itself on but has no sound, and the screen is white, then it will turn itself off again. Sometimes, I have to manually press the on/off button to turn it off. We had tech support replace the computer and power boards about 8-9 years ago, but this never really fixed this anomaly. Am I thinking the problem is not on the boards?

[@adamonline45]

I have almost this same TV, but it doesn't light up AT ALL. I tried measuring Vac between ground and the high-voltage terminals, but got 100mv or so on each. My friend thinks my meter just can't read voltage at "that high of a frequency" and suggests the tubes are at fault anyway. I don't think the tubes would all die at the same time. My money's on replacing the power board. What do you think? More info: I do see the picture using a flashlight, audio does play, no blown caps. One day AFTER it stopped working, I had left it "on" for a long time, and it suddenly started flashing the picture at a short, regular interval for a few minutes, then went back to black. I haven't seen that since. Thanks for any time you can spare!

[@TheBadbrad9]

[@hectorpascale1013]

A little bit off-topic, and asking for your opinion/help. I have the same Power board as shown here BN44-00340A on my LE40C650L1W. The set won´t turn on at all. I got it from a friend. His son said it made a bang and smoked. I found the ceramic capacitor "CI831" blown. = F223Z 1kV = 22nF -20% to +80% @1000V It sit´s between the "-" Bus of "BD801S" = TS6B05G Bridge Rectifier and the drain pin of "MI801S" = FDPF12N50UT N-Channel MOSFET 500V 10A What could cause that damage? Overvoltage through lightning, or a defect in circuitry before/after the capacitor? I will change the HV Capacitor anyway and try it, but i would like to learn more about the development of such failures. When changing the cap, does it make sense to put in one with a higher voltage reading like 2kV than the original with 1kV ? Thanks

[@12voltvids]

Who knows. Parts sometimes just go nuclear for no reason and sometimes cause secondary failure.

[@cdserviciosysolucionesc.a.8742]

Hello, I would like to know if you can help me, I have a Samsung LCD TV Series 3 Model LN32A330J1. It has 12 Transformers and 12 Mosfet 4614, similar to 40014A01. The fuse of the inverter card was damaged, and also the third moset from the bottom up. There is a possibility that I can eliminate that simply mosfet and also that ccfl tube. I think that only 1 ccfl tube of the 12 will not influence the lighting so much. Thanks in advance with the help you can give me

[@tonyneises5195]

old trick. you need an old analog meter to catch those quick voltage swing

[@mesharyhd7646]

Good video but I think it’s much easier to convert the tv to new led system with led driver you will have better colors and contrast

[@xcross8537]

I had one screaming Samsung before. It was bad control board. I replaced it and that was the end of the problem

[@mrsemifixit]

So the sensing transformer is independent of the drive transformer? And when there’s too much current drawn on the secondary, the quick collapsing of the field induces voltage only into the sensing transformer?

[@12voltvids]

Yes that is how it works. If a tube starts drawing too much current, it will induce a voltage into the secondary of the sensing transformer.

[@TboneLoyal]

Got one now doing the same thing. it will come on and then power off after the Sony image. Going to try bypassing. Since this is an older TV and not many parts available.

[@terrapinrc7192]

Great video. I have the same tv keeps flickering and switches backlight off. Changed inverter but still same but I noticed after watching your video there's a tube out. Would bypassing the transformer for the dead tube stop the flickering and switching off? Don't really want to give up on it yet.

Great video.! I have a question.! I have a 32 inch Dynex flatscreen TV, it is an LCD set from 2011 and when the set is powered up the screen lights up for a moment and then goes back out but I still have sound.! Now I’ve tested the LCD driver board and I found an open transformer from pin 1 to pin 6 but from the unnumbered pin to pin 4 I have continuity.! All the transformers have continuity from pin 1 to pin 6 except one.! The only question is can I bypass the transformer when it takes two transformers to light one lamp.!? The pin layout for the transformer is 1, 4, 5, 6, and the one unnumbered pin is between 1,4 now do I just get a whole new driver board or can I bypass the one lamp by taking out the two transformers that drive that lamp.??

[@12voltvids]

It is likely a bad fluorescent tube. When the backlight first fires up the set does a current balance test and if one tube is drawing too much current it will shut the backlight down.

[@vacuumman4107]

12voltvids ok well how would I go about it to test to see which tube is bad.??

[@12voltvids]

I did go over that on another video. You need to disconnect the tubes one at a time and bypass the current sense circuit.

[@professorofficer9609]

Awesome video. Awesome explanation. One question, how do those lamps draw high current? They short circuit or something? Is it a sign of iminent death? Lets hope my message makes sense.

[@12voltvids]

Fluorescent lamps are high impedance before they strike, and then the impedance drops to almost 0, and that is why they need a ballast as that is what limits the current.

[@codebitman]

Great job as usual

[@ronaldlynch5652]

ln40c530 working good but front bottom lights not seeing how to manualy turn or use menu no light

[@khx73]

Nice job.. explained well. Bypassing that transformer that way would cause a slight increase in primary voltage to the rest of the ones in that series, correct? Negligible I'm sure, as this would vary with brightness setting anyway.

[@12voltvids]

The lamp brightness may increase slightly, but since the panel modulates the lights with the video content it won't be noticeable and for those that are concerned about a slight over power, the solution is just turn the back light control down slightly. One should never run the back lights at 100% anyway on either CCFL or LED, unless you want the lights to burn out prematurely.

There is a time in the dis-assembly, when, it should be done, the changing mechanism should just pull out, it does not, why? things are configured so tightly and in such a small space that you need finger and wrist strength and the ability to combine them without throwing the unit across the room. Kinda like banging out the roll pin in the old Singer 16mm arms. Even worse, putting it back in. LOL. Yo, I really appreciate your videos. We are a dying breed.

Made in Tijuana Mexico? I doubt it, perhaps that label should say "ASSEMBLED IN MEXICO WITH KOREAN AND CHINESE PARTS TO EVADE TAXES. Here in Mexico neither a screw washer is manufactured.

Do most of these Samsung tvs play a sound when starting up? I'm working on a 50" plasma and have never heard any music at power on.

[@Dillisive]

The newer Samsung's from about 1998 started the chime music I believe , However, I could be wrong.

This one's label says December 2010. I can't get power to come on for longer than about 10 seconds. One of the two boards I haven't replaced yet is the signal/tuner board, which is also connected to the speakers. I found problems on the power supply and Y-main. The problem could have taken out this board as well.

They do, but there is an option in the menu to turn it off in the menu under "general"

[@stevehurd6708]

Now, if only I could see the menu! :)

Right that would be difficult when the set won't stay on. This one took me hours to find. It looks simple, but took quite awhile to nail down. After studying the board layout after the video was published I found I made an error in it when I drew out the schematic. The 2 primary side coils are really, the current sense for the shutdown, and the brightness control, so by by jumping the pins I did I just turned the tube to the lowest level. The HV comes in and goes out on the other side so a complete removal of the transformer is required to completely extinguish the faulty lamp. Its my set so I want to monitor it and see if it acts up again, but I will be removing that transformer before the set goes back together.

Until the next lamp fails. And the next...
