    Bricked TV menu LN-T4032H

    I have a Samsung model LN-T4032H LCD TV that developed an issue then later was hit by lightning that I'm guessing entered through HDMI connector on the main board. It was dead.
    I put it in a closet and bought another TV.
    It sat for a couple of years. Since then I've retired and was looking for something to do. So I brought it out and opened her up.
    The power supply had two swollen 1000ufd caps. There were about a half dozen of them so I replaced them all. Plugged it up and joy I now had a power light. I had to replace the batteries in the remote (one had leaked so I had to clean up the corrosion). Hit the remote and heard a click and the light flashed a few times and opened. No Joy.
    It had to be the main board. Samsung wanted right at $200 for one. I looked on Ebay saw one and ordered it. 5 days later the seller cancelled the order. Found another and that seller too cancelled the order.
    Looked on Amazon and found one. Ordered that one and installed it. Turned it on and went through the setup.
    Great picture! No sound. No options available in the sound menu. Now I know why the board was so cheap. The sound menu has been bricked.
    Do any of you know how to get the menu options back?
    I can hit the sound button and the scale button will go left and right. The mute button will show the mute symbol on screen. Just no sound.
    I've used the mute-1-8-2-power-reset procedure with no success.
    ??????
    I'm hoping one of you have seen something like this and has a cure.

        Tried two earphones that I know work.
        Connector for speakers/earphone plugged in properly. Wiggled everything on connector.

        No joy.
        All options on the sound menu are "grayed" out.
        I'm thinking it is in some kind of silent mode for an outside sound system.

          I downloaded the firmware files to a thumb drive and went through a procedure to install them but upgrade was unsuccessful.
          Still no sound options in the menu.

          I'm going to borrow a sound system and see if I can get sound of the RCA connectors on the back.

          I'll let you know later if there is sound there.

            So it is grayed out on ALL modes of inputs?
            Can we see the screen shot of the sound menu?

                I have a picture of the sound menu selections but for some reason my computer all of a sudden won't recognize my phone.

                Here is what I see in the sound menu.

                1. Mode : standard (greyed out)

                2. Equalizer > (greyed out)

                3. SRS Surroundsound XT (greyed out)

                4. Multitrack Options (This one is active but I only see a "Preferred Language" with selections of "English" "Spanish" and "French")

                5. Auto Volume (This one is also active with option of "Off" and "on".

                6. Internal Mute: off (greyed out)

                7. Sound Select: Main (greyed out)

                8. Reset (greyed out)

                The "cursor" will only move to the two options not greyed out.
                In the mean time I'll have to dig the camera out and charge it before I can take a picture.
                Hope this helps

                  I have been between the sound, setup and input menus a half dozen times and I can't find that option.

                    Just found camera charging cord so photos may be tomorrow.
                    I just checked the sound menu on

                    input: AV2 Only one option available there and that's Auto Volume.

                    Tried HDMI-1 Same thing. Only one option and its the same as AV2.

                    At least with TV I have two choices.

                    Someone bricked it bad.

                    I'm looking for another Samsung p/n BN94-01294M

                    Do you think I ought to try the Russian dude's un-brick procedure?
