Re: BN44-00516a
Today in reading a different post "Samsung PN64E8000 won't come on" by BlueAutumn, one of the posts (from Nick's Tvs) suggested shorting PS-ON to gnd and VS-ON (I believe) to D5.3V to simulate what I suspect is the turn-on of the TV from the logic board. I connected PS-ON to GND via 100ohms and pulled up VS-ON to D5.3V through 100ohms. I then applied power via my dim bulb tester (100W lightbulb). The bulb flickered some but after a few seconds the bulb went out. I measured VS at 221V and VA at 55V which seems correct.
Currently I am not sure what else to check, if anything, although I am a bit reluctant about putting the board back in the TV and just turning it on. I can probably just connect the logic board first and make sure I dont have an issue but am looking for suggestions as I dont know if originally just the power board was damaged or some other board caused the power board to become damaged in which case just trying to turn the TV on may result in a similar result.
Any suggestions as to how best to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
