Samsung TV Main board was bad. Here's how I figured it out. Model # UN32EH5300FXZA.

www.tvrepairinf... The television I repaired in this video is a Samsung UN32EH5300FXZA. I had mis-stated the model number in this video so please take note. This TV came in my shop dead. My first guess was bad LEDs since I see this so often, but it turned out to be a bad main board. One common characteristic of a defective main board is that if the TV does happen to turn on at all, and you press the power off button often times the TV doesn't respond and remains on. One other thing that surprised me about this particular model was that unplugging the main board allowed the back lights to come on. Normally the power supply doesn't turn on unless it gets a 5 volt turn on voltage from the main board, but on this model unplugging the main board did enable the back lights to come on.

[@VentureWelding]

Honestly it sounds more like a power board issue. Why else would both mains work suddenly unless the culprit being a intermittent issue with power board..? Plus consider your issue with standby voltage.

[@jeremymay3626]

Isnt all you would have to do is unplug main board and see if voltage goes back to 5v?

[@KpxUrz5745]

Thanks for the video. I wish there was an excellent definitive book on modern tv repair. I've looked and found nothing so far! If they can design these boards, why can't they produce repair manuals? I realize the tv's are fairly inexpensive now, but I would prefer to fix things when 99% of it still works.

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

It couldn't hurt to check the grounding screws, but that wouldn't account for the overheating IC on the main board. The reason for that is still a mystery since it started working with the old main board.

I'm in the dying field of after market TV repair and happened to pick up on what you said; "You KNOW it's the main board - but replaced all three"? But the power supply was low output on all legs. I Didn't hear you say that you unplugged the power supply cable to the main board to isolate it from the power supply (divide and conquer technique).

You're leaving a lot to the imagination of someone who stumbles upon this video though. 51% thumb up (for the effort).

Hi there, I have a Samsung UN55D8000. The screen is dim, but still view-able. However when I entered 3D Mode, the Screen works perfectly. But when going back to 2d the screen goes dim again, but still view-able. Based on the following research, I believe I have a bad main board. Also the cable connection is also bent and damaged on the main board. 1) T-CON Board - Is good if you can see the Menu when pressing the Settings Button 2) Backlight Test - Entering into 3D Mode the Backlight turns on and the dim appearence goes away completely. Which tells me the Backlight is fully fucntional. This sounds like a Bad "Main Board"??? Please help. Thank you.

[@Nipsicles]

Main board is probably. Trace back to the power supply and confirm your getting proper voltages to the main board. You very well could have a short messing with the led driver when the demand is failing to activate the driver. Also check your Drain and Source on all your MOSFETS and confirm no shorts.

Check the cable from the supply unit to the main board. My 55 inch Samsung burnt out 2 of the ribbons. Replaced the entire ribbon cable and fixed the problem. Don’t recommend it though as it just covers up the initial problem instead of solving it

Me too. There was an official service update about this fault. The act of unplugging and replugging the cable probably cleaned it up enough to get the old board working temporarily.

I have a Samsung 40" TV that started having some kind of noise and green screen once in a while. After some time, the problem started getting worse. After reading some info on internet, I decided to change some ICs and tantalum capacitors on the main board. Now TV does not turn on, but I see the classical blinking red LED forever, and the TV does not start. I took some measurements on the connector between mainboard and power supply, and they are more on low side (ex: instead of 5.3V, I get 4.99V; instead of 13V, I set 12.5V). I checked the main capacitors (dissoldered them and measured with LCR meter), and they are good. Would this little voltage difference be an issue or it within the accepted tolerance? Also, when I disconnected the main board from the power supply, I did not see the backlight turning on. Which board appears to be faulty in your opinion?

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

You didn't mention your original symptom, but perhaps you could attach an oscilloscope to the signal outputs from the main board going to the T-con board and see what kind changes to the waveform occur when you press the menu button on the TV. to see if there are any change at all when the scene changes on your display. It might give you a clue that the T-CON is not getting a signal from the main board.; I've done similar tests on both the input and output side of the T-CON without disconnecting any of the cables by carefully testing some fo the outputs on the T-COn board. Sorry I can't be of more help here, but you also might want to look into TV case histories from Mikes TV tips to see what other technicians have found on this problem, or just take a gamble on buying a new TCON board. I often research TV case histories which I buy from Mikes TV tips to see what other technicians have found for this symptom.

@@GrantsPassTVRepair sorry the screen is black but you can see the backlight glowing when you go near it. and the sounds is working fine even the remote, when i press the home button you can hear the tone. what I've done is remove half the ribbons from the tcon board and see if half the screen is working, then the other half and none of it worked. so i tried removing the cable from the tcon that goes through the main board without disconnecting the supply from the tcon. and it shows display from the screen that looks like it was on test mode showing different colors brightness and contrast.

My Samsung TV went out during a close lighting strike and refuses to turn back on; no lights nothing even though I had it connected to a surge protector but didn't have the antenna coax connected to the surge which I suspect is where the surge went through.

Excellent video! I am having almost the exact same issues with my Panasonic TC-39AS530U. TV turns on, screen flickers 3 times (I can see the LED lights flickering in the back), then I get a blank screen with 1 LED flicker (error code 1 I assume) then just a slowly blinking red LED. There is no sound and I can't turn it off with the remote. I have to press and hold the power button on the side of the unit or unplug it to turn it off. I have tested my power supply board. ALL 3 test points (standby, LED driver, and main board) maintain voltage when it goes from power on to blinking light. However, the pins on the connector for the main board and driver board go from 16V and 24V respectively down to 0 when the light starts to blink. There are 3 test points on the main board, 5.3V, 12V, and 15V. The 5.3V (standby) maintains voltage when it goes from power on to blinking light, the other two do not, they go to 0. Would that, along with voltages being maintained on the power supply board, indicate that this main board is bad? I really hope that is the case as I do not want to get into replacing LED strips. Thanks and keep up the great work! P.S. I have put in new power supply and T-con boards and the problem continues.

Hi, very informative video. Question: when you explain about the logic board clue being at fault, and that a way to know this is bcuz it doesn't recognize you pressing the power off button,, can you say which button? The remote control button or the Tv's on/off button? Because on my Samsung UN55J620DAF, which just suffered some sort of melt down, turns on with remote or Tv button, but Only turns off with remote, not the Tv button. The red standby light flashes 4x and stops when I press to turn on. I am currently checking it bcuz a few days ago, as we watched Tv, we began to hear crackling at the rear of Tv and it went dim blue, then black. It turned off with remote, but I disconnected everything off the wall outlet as precaution, bcuz I also smelled burnt wire. Watching pertaining videos, I checked fuse, its good. I inspected all 3 boards and only at the power supply board did I see like melted wire plastic. I could not see anything unusual on the main green board, it has a red lit port. The T-con board seemed ok as well, it has blue lights when I power on. Odd thing is, she turns on with power button and remote, but will only turn off with remote, and the red standby light blinks 4 times and stops. I tested all LEDs thru the corresponding wire leads and many did not light. I tested the port pins from where the LED connector goes, and it had No current going out. I did unplugged cable connector from main or logic board and did get the four 12.65v results in those leads, plus the 4.50 power on voltage of other side. One thing is for certain, I am going to replace All the LED strips with new. And I am prepared to replace the power supply board as well. However, I am not sure about the green logic/main board. What say ye..? I'd appreciate any input. (incidentally, this Tv is 7yrs old, was working flawlessly)

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

I find your questions very difficult to understand, If your TV is able to turn on and off using your TVs remote control it does not sound like you have any problems wich need to be addressed except for the possibility that the power button on the TV itself is not responding. In that case I suspect the power button on the TV may be defective, but if your TV works good using the remote control then just use your remote control and the problem is solved right?

If I try to turn it back on, it will not. however, I am able to get it to turn back on if I unplug it from the wall outlet and leave it unplugged for like 2+ hours.

Hello, i have a situation where lightning struck my samsung that uses bn44-00715a power supply. When I plugged it in the backlight came on automatically. I was checking voltages then plugged in the main board and it toasted the ic206 chip. I'm wandering if there is anyway to tell if the led panel is fried before I purchase power supply and main board? Thanks. The standby voltage is always 13vdc. I know I should have stopped and changed the power supply first but I screwed up. Now the backlight doesn't come on like it was although I have dc voltage going to it. I'm not sure what the voltages should be.

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

One never knows how bad the damage is when Lightning strikes a TV, But I would think your panel might have survived since it isn't the first in line to get zapped. I'd be suspect of the main board and power supply.

Grants Pass TV Repair Thanks for the reply. My concern was now I plug the power supply in, the backlight doesn't come on anymore. I have dc voltage going to the ribbon though. The model number is un46h7150afxza (samsung). I'm sure the power supply has issues because I unplugged everything other than the led ribbon and it lit up(until I fooled with it). Do you think it's worth spending $250 on power supply and main board?

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

Since the power supply is generally the first circuit board to take a hit from lightning, I would suspect it may have a problem, and the other boards could be okay, but that's just a guess. Sometimes a lightning strike through the AC cord is so strong, it may have effected other boards as well.

My tv works fine with no problem but it have a single issue, it performs some unnecessary functions with other devices remote like, set up box, other tv remots, AC remote, just take an example, whenever i change my channel with set up box remote, volume of tv increasing simultaneously, when i try switch to channel 4 with set up box remote then simultaneously tv switch off, when i press signal button from from set up box, input dialog box open(tv, Av, hdmi, usb etc option.) Can u tell me, what is wrong with my tv?

Im guessing the main boards cpu solder balls needed reflowing. If intermittent probs occur bake the board in an oven at 240 for 11 min. Cover plastic connectors with foil.

Hi, I am currently diagnosing the issue with my Samsung TV. The light will blink red, screen not turn on, and you heard a clicking sound, which I discovered was the power board once I took the back cover off the TV. I immediately saw a small burn (about 1/2 inch diameter) where two DSC 2.5D-15 Thermistors were. I assume this means I will have to replace the board, but I am just wondering, what could have caused this in the first place and will it happen again if I replace the unit? Thanks!

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

Sorry, but with dozens of different models on the market. I'm unable to make an educated guess as to what caused your thermistors to go bad.

[@hermannschmidt9788]

With the Samsungs Series C and later you just have to pull the plug to the main board to start the power supply fully, including the backlight. If that works ok, it's the main's fault. Pretty clever, actually. Samsung has the opposit signal level (0V, low) for power supply activation compared to other brands.

I had this issue. And get ready for a headache if i am right. Tvs purchased before 2009 were transitioning from ccfl (Cold cathode fluorescent lights) to LED (most tvs circa 2010). Much like flourecent tubes in your basic office building these tubes dont last forever and when they go bad they flicker/short and blow out. Now for 20 bucks you can fix the problem if you are handy and dont mind a headache. You will have to strip your tv down to the ccfl lighting. Remove the bulbs, preferably all of them. Wire LED strips in parallel and run it to a 12 v supply off the power supply. Minor things to worry about, all your caps on the power supply are good (not bulging) and that the lights turn on with power button pressed. You will be unable to dim your lighting but it will fix your issue. There are lots of youtube vids showing installing led light strips in led tv

I have red light stand by and the tv wont turn on so what your saying is the main green logic board is bad? Or main power supply board is bad?

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

I can't tell you which one, but if I had the TV in front of me I'd be checking to see if the power supply is getting an enable voltage from the main board. The enable voltage tells the power supply to turn on. The enable voltage terminal on the power supply might be called PS on, On, or power on, and it's often 5 volts.

[@ThinkDigitalRepair]

What's a good place to get diagnosing help? I have a tv that I can't find schematics for

[@kenpappas9520]

If your standby voltage is NOT 5v, then by all means you have a power supply problem since it's the PS that outputs the 5v. I would suspect the Main board IF you were not getting the 12v to turn on. So I am confused???

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

Since the 5 volt stand by power only measured about 1 volt i assumed it was a power supply problem at first, but I didn't realize the main board had a short to ground problem causing the stand by power to be shorted to ground. I should have disconnected the main board from the power supply to see if my 5 volts stand by power returned, but it's so rare to see a main bord with a short to ground on the stand by power line I didn't think to try this at first. I hope that makes more sense.

Check your capacitors are not blown up/short. On your power supply. Also your diodes should have huge resistance values in 1 direction. Any big resistors should also be checked for shorting.

[@kyleeaton2717]

Grants Pass TV Repair How about symptoms happening over the years of using the tv? The first thing that stopped working was the I.R censor for the remote, that's hooked up to the main board. Then some hdmi ports stopped working, that's hooked up to the board. Lastly, audio coming through hdmi would be fine for an hour or so and then it would sound like a distorted echo, unplug the hdmi and plug it back in and it would work normally again. And the vizio symbol still lights up and shuts off when I turn the tv on and off. I don't have a voltage checker so I'm going with probability here. Too bad I can't find the cbpfrd1ka1 main board for sale anywhere on the internet.

Yes the main board does sound like a good suspect. Nevertheless I still like to take a few voltage measurements on it, as well as the other boards to look for additional clues. Due to the lower cost on new TVs often times they just aren't worth the effort.

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

I don't remember on this one, but generally speaking if your stand by light doesn't come on, you have a power supply problem, or one of your other boards has a short which is dragging your stand by power down. I suggest you disconnect the other boards from the power supply, and then measure all the output voltages on the power supply to see if your stand by power has returned.

I suspect you are taking voltage measurements form the wrong ground point. Even if the back light doesn't work, the fact that you can see the picture when you do the flashlight test tells me you most likely do have stand by power, or you would not see a picture when doing the flashlight test, Only measuring 30 volts going to your LED back lights also sounds suspicious.
