Re: Samsung LA40B650T1MXRD - T-con? Very red people

Ok. Excuse the noobish lingo, as I mentioned earlier am complete novice.

So I removed the back off the TV and pulled the connecting cables out and put them back in. No signs of oxidation or dust or anything visibly in or around the connectors. The ones from the t-con to the display I didn't remove as they looked more fiddly and flimsy and I didn't want to break them. I did give them a bit of a push in to make sure they were sitting in properly and hadn't wriggled loose.

Plugged the TV back in and...

Set was performing really well till a lighning storm (according to the wife who watches much more TV than I do). Not sure if coincidental or just her trying to join the dots.

Initially I went into the service menu and was fiddling with the channels but nothing...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Last resort to try and fix my tv before biting the bullet and having to throw it away. Such a waste when I can't find anyone else to fix it locally and the best option is to buy a new one. Disappointing world we live in. But I was glad to see these forums have some answers. Here's hoping I can get some help.
