Another genius workaround from Michael. The fact that the display is no longer available shows the high failure rate. Samsung gear is not what it used to be.

cant understand why its no longer available as this one was not that old , unless of course they have a load of new boards they want to get rid of .

@@michaeldranfield7140 Probably, Samsung like a lot of other brands no longer keep any depth of spares. All they want is to sell a new Microwave.

hello I had the same problem for some time, the board was waiting for repair on the shop shelf without fixing the problem. The problem was solved with this trick. Thank you very much for this tutorial. It was very very good

wow that was a great piece of diagnostic work, a shorting out display causing it to go into a lock mode ,the clues are there , thanks Michael😊

Isn't it a leaked display causing the MCU multiplex to fail to read the keypad buttons?

Well done Michael you are a clever chap who certainly don't give up easily, I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot. A while ago I spent some hours investigating a similar non start Samsung Microwave. Not having the circuit or knowledge of relay operations etc I tackled it by visual inspection, re-making various soldered joints, substituting a start switch and latterly substitution of a couple of relays. At some point it started to work again - but not reliably. On days when it failed I left it unplugged overnight and if it worked the next day I would carry on using it on a daily basis until it failed again. Eventually it fixed itself so I was left wondering what was the cause of the problem and expecting the problem to return. I believe in a previous video you mentioned it might be connected to leakage from the display. So when it was not in use I have been disabling the display by pressing the Eco button. I will check to see if the display has ghost L's but will dig out and fit the diodes.

I wonder if it might be the display is overdriven , I did notice a couple of segments were just a little dimmer than others but not enough to show on camera and this could indicate low emission of the led but time will tell.
@michaelturner4457Ай бұрын
Could be moisture ingress causing the leak? And if it's been standing for a year, any moisture would have evaporated probably.
@scottgilson3247Ай бұрын
Most likely you're right. The newer display probably has better sealant.

I've found that moisture on PCBs in radios and kitchen scales can cause mayhem with buttons and rotary encoders. A good clean around with IPA works wonders.

Nicely done Michael. What lead you to this (correct ) guess ? I know decades of experience (same as me in IT), but was there something in the past? To me this is almost like an early start to the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures :) So Happy Christmas too, just a bit early .

two things , a comment someone made on my other video about the possibility of the display been the cause and the fact I had repaired an instrument cluster for a fiat 500 a few months before where lights where flashing on the dashboard when the car was indicating left and it turned out to be a Leakey LED in the cluster .The LED was lit but passed a current both ways .

Not sure quite how you figured out what the problem was, but nicely done. You could have bent each of the five retrofit diodes into a "Z" of sorts before fitting them, which would make access for soldering a little easier.

He’s a genius that’s why. He’s also done another video on diagnosing clock signals on these.

Yes , got to be an easier way, wouldn't have been a problem if the diode was soldered to the other side of the board .
