Samsung PN64E533 powers on but no picture, easy fix. Plasma tv repair

[@chads3541]

The board looked a little different in my model, but this video saved me a couple hundred bucks for swapping the whole board! Awesome detailed info on a simple fix.

[@AM-gj3pb]

The TV warranty dude couldnt fix it, so with your help, I did. Cost me less than $1. Thanks heaps.

[@matthewreynolds7916]

Hey, it worked--thank you BigDog! Our Samsung 60" Plasma TV picture would sometimes turn on usually on the 2nd try, unless the TV was warm, then we'd have to wait 30 minutes. Then after a few years of that, it stopped altogether, so I tried this repair. Two things to watch out for that got me a little--the screws by the speakers (4) were fine thread, the rest were coarse thread--had to undo all the screws to find the right ones. Also, I must not have reconnected the ribbon cable well to the Y-main, as I had a horizontal line across the screen after repair. Cleaned the connectors and reattached and it is back to normal. THANKS!

[@chrislacey3936]

Bigdog, you’re the man! This fixed my Samsung PN64F8500 as well, and saved me a lot of $$$. Thank you!

[@jonathanherman4444]

I've had the 60" version sitting in my basement for almost two years now. I followed the steps you showed, replaced the capacitors, and everything is working again. Thanks for the help!

[@fredaltemus9832]

You are the man. I followed your instructions and my Samsung seems to be working again. Thanks so much. Fred

[@bretthansen4773]

just did this to my 55 inch samsung plasma from 2013-- replaced the exact same caps that he showed, in exactly the same way- FIxed! Thanks.

[@timczaruk8636]

That was my problem too. I replaced the capacitors and it works great. Thank you!!

Great video I've been trying to find a video for my exact tv and this was the closest. I have the 60 inch just ordered a new y main. I'll try and fix this one and get some of my money back

[@Gfunkbus76]

Thanks for the video, will be doing the repair soon myself. Unfortunately, there is panel damage on mine, vertical purple lines in one area, but hoping its not too distracting lol. Cheers!

[@saarike]

Excellent video! Thanks!

[@bigdog8882]

No problem. Thank U

[@Mbehr24]

Great info! I have this very problem on my Samsung PN64D8000 (64-Inch 1080p 600Hz 3D Plasma 8000 Series Smart TV) ... do you know if this model has this same issue? the boards look a little different on my model so i am unsure if i should try this fix myself. appreciate the feedback!

[@hammiranda]

I'm having the same issue with a PN64D8000, was working fine then 5 minutes later screen went dark. Now it remains black whenever the tv is on. Y-main must've went bad. Thanks for this video dogg 👍

[@mohamad6870]

Hi, thank you for the vedio. If i have both legs of the blue capacitors beeping with the meter and so all of the blue ones in the board is mean it is shorted board

[@ralphgomez6804]

Bdog, thank you so much. This is my problem. Liked ur Video

[@bigdog8882]

No problem. Appreciate U watchin!

[@jpluera]

Hey bigdog ..Thanks for this video...I have this exact model...But it seems im only getting 203 volts on that VS circuit...whereas you said it should be 218...I replaced the caps and still getting intermittent power...I will probably order new caps as i used some i had on hand...maybe that will solve the problem?

[@acdii]

Is this the same for a PN64D550C? Ours just started doing funky things, screen blanked out, same with audio, then audio returned, but screen blank. Would not turn off, LED on the face would not illuminate either, and was drawing power. It is plugged into a smart strip that turns everything off when the set it turned off, and everything was still powered on. I unplugged from the back, which turned off the strip and heard a relay in the set click. Waited a few minutes, plugged it back in, turned it on, and it all started working again, then after a few minutes, did the same thing as before. Would be great if this is all it is that causes it.

[@jlwmrblack]

Very nice video as always,but what I would like to know.What happen to the Vizio E701 power supply.Did changing the controller chip work.

[@theygaveawaymyid]

I recently tried this fix on my Samsung PN60E500 series (model number S60FH-YB02). It worked great! No more wondering whether the TV would come on or not. Note that the three capacitors were not all lined up like on the board shown in the video. They were all near the chip, but one was separate from the other two. Make sure to check which side is ground.

[@hamfitness863]

Hey bigdogg, good afternoon, need your expertice advice once again. I have this Toshiba LED that turns on for one second then the backlights go out and I can still a picture using a flashlight. I thought maybe a faulty led but I tested them and they all turn on fine. So I thought maybe video board, but didnt fix the issue either. Could it the LED driver board?

[@hawaii6282]

Great Tips...

[@brianzegles2257]

Great video! If I tell you my model and problem could you help me identify the problem?

[@rhinesrealty]

When I test the VS at the power board text point I get around 6 volts at the most. I get 0 volts for VA. Before testing, there was a spark at my power board because the board touched the metal pannel behind it. I bought a replace meant Y and X board and still no picture or VS and VA volts from power board. Do I need another power supply?

[@marianhopko4708]

Great tip, working.

[@marianhopko4708]

Anyway, how did you find these caps need to be replaced?

[@jamestishner]

Where would you suggest buying this board, but the orange one for the 60"? This is exactly my problem.

[@ralphgomez6804]

Wow, this exsactly my problem, thank you Bdog

[@shanes9546]

i have this pn64e and it wont turn on before it use to turn on then it would turn off. touched up solder joints and changed caps on y sustain with the same ceramic capacitors i only soldered the bottom do they need to be soldered on top as i still have no power thanks

[@bigdog8882]

Yes top layer also.

[@shanes9546]

thanks. i just put solder on the top side of the caps as well and touched up the solder joints on the power supply powered on after a few times of hitting the button then died and wint do anything green light was blinking on control board and everything stopped when it went out

[@hamfitness863]

Sup bigdogg, love your work. I have a question for you. I have a Samsung LED SmartTV with no backlight. I tested the strip and they all turn on, no faulty led, but for some reason the power supply board is not sending power to the backlight. I can see words on the screen with a flashlight so I know its on. Could it be a faulty power supply board or faulty main board? I dont think its the Tcon because even when I leave the Tcon unplugged the backlight still on turn on. Thanks

[@bigdog8882]

Make sure that you're gettin the Backlight-On command from the Mainboard to the PS. It should be labeled "LED, BK ON, LD ON, etc" If it doesnt change to around 3.3v-4.5V, then its the Main. But most likely its the Power supply board in most Cases if your not gettin any Voltage (80v-135v) on the Led+ plugs going into the Panel.

[@hamfitness863]

@@bigdog8882 I just bought a new power supply board, hopefully that fixes the issue. Thanks for the prompt reply bigdogg as always. You da man 👍

[@dembatraore6282]

Hi Bigdog... I am having the same exact problem with my Samsung Plasma PN60F5500AF. The flashing red light and can hear sounds buy the screen is all black. This is going to be my own project for the winter. Any recommendations on how to find out what's going is welcome!

[@danschneider2309]

I have a 2007 42" Samsung Plasma. I'm having the same problem, no picture just sound. Until I let it warm up then turn it off and back on. Can you do it on the 2007 Model? Thanks

[@ZaheerKhan-jt6ve]

Nice vedio , sir i have an issue with a 28" Emerald Pro USA tv that has a thin bla ck horizontal line forming at the center of screen and then the picture freeze (stick) but there is sound still after about 35 seconds after tv turned on then it turned into grenish blue vertical bars it only got 2 board , the power and main board in one and a long thin board at the bottom hook up to the screen and the lvds cable connects them both .Sir can you enligthens me what could be the problem.

[@theofourie8457]

Hi Bigdog. I have same problem in my 64 inch plasma only thing when i remove ribon from y-sustain to logik board tv ceeping clicking. When i refit it gos on but no pic. Any idea please.

[@hansawr]

Hello @bigdog9992, thanks for the video, I have a question. I have a Samsung plasma TV that shows the red led in the corner but it does nothing else, when I opened it I see that when I disconnect the power cable that goes to the X and Y boards and try to turn it on, I hear the samsung tune at the beginning . But when I plug it back in you can't hear that sound when turning on the device. Would that mean that either Y or X board are not working properly?

[@bigdog8882]

Yeah easy, just unplug 1 at a time to see which one. If U know how to use a meter, then there's probably a short on the Vs line.

[@hove131]

How did you check those bad capacitors to tell they were bad?

[@halarmstrong]

I saw another video identifying the same 3 blue capacitors. Somewhere in the thread it was stated that (1) the capacitors often test good (in circuit) with an ESR meter and (2) often test good when removed from the board and tested. Nevertheless, they often fail under load conditions. Given the low cost for 3 capacitors, it best just to replace as a low cost bet with a potential big payoff.

[@jasonperkins9540]

Hey Bigdog9992! I’m having a problem with a pn51e440a2f. Powers up, sings, no picture. Voltage goes up on the vs circuits on both boards to 218ish the rapidly drops to about 10v. I unplugged the main like you said. No change. I’m suspecting capacitor issue. Have you ran into his? Thank you for any advice you might be able to give.

[@bigdog8882]

Unplugg the ribbon connector on the bottom of Y-main (connector coming from small digital board) and leave other big plug on top plugged in. Then recheck the same way.

[@jasonperkins9540]

bigdog8882 I did that. I also disconnected the top connector on each board separately to isolate each board. Even with both boards disconnected from each other I have a drain off. I have the 208 and 58v from power board to the x board. At x board voltage still drops. Issue on power board?

[@bigdog8882]

@@jasonperkins9540 could be, just check the "Vs ON" pin coming from mainboard to PS. Make sure that comes up and stays. If so, just change the PS board.

[@jasonperkins9540]

I also do not have 5v at top connections when voltage drops out.
