The Dreaded Clicking Sound And No Power On Samsung pn59d530a3fxza

[Mike Callaway]

About a week ago I picked up a Samsung 59 inch plasma that someone was throwing away. The model number is pn59d530a3fxza. When I attempt to power it on the red indicator blinks and it makes clicking noises. I know that Samsung had an issue several years ago with bad capacitors causing this problem. Please bear with me, I have very little experience troubleshooting at the component level. I did not find any bulging or leaking capacitors but it appears that one of the transformers is damaged. My problem is that I can't find any information with what I believe to be the correct part number. The power supply board is BN44-00445c PB6F-WVL. The board is stamped TX801S next to the damaged transformer and the transformer itself is labeled PB6F - VM. There are two other numbers (SC-03B and SC-110914CK) as well but those are also on other components. Can someone help me identify the part and possibly tell me where I can get a replacement? I have found a replacement board online but I'd rather spend a few bucks and hope it works instead of dropping $150 on a TV I know nothing about.

That is the transformer for the stndby power supply, so what DCV do you have on each pin of the CN801 connector? Make sure to give the pin number and pin names after each reading.

I may have the smps you need..I can checkk Saturday I am on the road..If its the right board you can have it for $50 plus freight.

Budm, I just moved and haven't been able to find my multimeter. As soon as I do I'll post the results. LJintexas, that sounds reasonable. Thanks!

Good afternoon, sorry for jumping into this thread but I think I have the same issue or a similar one. I have a PN59D530A3FXZA. Y302. And it no longer gets the power light, I think it's the PCB on it, and I've heard that it's usually just the capacitors, so I wasn't sure if someone here knew the fix as I can't seem to find the board for sale anywhere. Model for the board is BN44-00445C I believe.

Rodeo9ine can you post pics? The capacitors should be bulging or leaking if they're bad. On ebay the BN44-0045C boards don't last long. I did find them on another site but if ljintexas has one I'm going to grab it from him.

I'll get it stripped down later this week as I'm headed out the door for a business trip till Thursday, thanks for the followup!

I will verify model number of board I have today.

Thanks LJintexas!

BN44-00445A is what I have..it has space to check A, B, or C. A is checked.

Does anyone know what the difference is or if it would work?

Sorry it took so long but here is the board photo, the capacitors that I thought would be blown seem fine...

maybe worth checking/resoldering all the devices bolted on to the heat sinks some times these get dry jointed and crack at the soldering.

The tv gets the red power light, clickes when it turns on, then will stay on for about 3 minutes, then shut off and lose the red power light.

Re: The Dreaded Clicking Sound And No Power On Samsung pn59d530a3fxza

I bought a power supply board off eBay for $40 that was being sold as possibly working but untested. When it didn't fix the problem I gave up and sold the TV for $50 on craigslist.

Before replacing the SMPS.
Unplug all boards except the main board.
Verify 5V standby
Turn TV "on" so that relays click
As soon as it is turned on verify Vs and Va (~200V and ~55V)
Then verify the 15V or 13V, whichever is present
If any of these are missing the SMPS is at fault
If all are present, even if they disappear after a few seconds, some other board is at fault
It is very rare for the power supply to fail on a Samsung plasma TV set. It is not a common issue.

Re: The Dreaded Clicking Sound And No Power On Samsung pn59d530a3fxza

hello
does anyone have a schematic for the bn44-00445a board? two blown capacitors CP817, cp818 and resistor rp820. I needed values to replace these parts. Any help is appreciated.

Re: The Dreaded Clicking Sound And No Power On Samsung pn59d530a3fxza

Can you still read any printing on the caps? They are the same value, the resistors RP820 and RP825.
They are R/C snubber network for the PFC MOSFET and the PFC Diode.
