Thanks for the opinion that it is a bad T-Con board because of the bad Gama IC, but what leads you to that conclusion based on the test point data? Just curious.

Already gave you that diagnoses 8 posts ago but don't forget to thank diff-boy.

Diah,

I do not understand your observation from the photo I provided of the Service Menu settings.

You state "some one played and edit 7 Options Value."

Are you indicating there is an incorrect setting on one of Service Menu settings?

Could you please clarify? Thanks.

the white color bold option such White balance / W/B Movie EPA Standard .... etc.. you can confirm them they changed too at log on the right side down on your SM page under EDID SUCCESS and the option listed by code like 0511 2111 ..... etc

OP, what ever you do in that service menu, make sure to write down the numbers before making any changes.

because there are no standard definition of words and code used by SM on all brands. its difficult and risky too to play at SM. user can change only some function if being blocked from brand company such PVR time shift. smart 3D, or DTS etc. other values of certain Options could let the set never wake up again after restart.

i advice you just search under Option like advanced or expert any of Reset Option first. to delete profile setting. and reload driver to factory state. any option you see that unclear to you just upload here photo of it.. may other member can understand it and help. to me i am hater of Samsung SM.

Also not as difficult as some make it, nothing is likely to magically change in service menu all by itself, if the history of tv is unknown then who knows what's been done to it, anyway here's that setting simply explained, just follow instructions AND do as Bud said and make note/write down setting before messing with it. Maybe you should watch it 5 times before starting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-aXKCTiU6I

A big thanks to everyone who contributed thoughts on my solorization issue!

I am especially grate full for those of you that helped me understand the relationship of the Gama test points readings and what reading make for a good T-con board and what reading make for a bad T-con board.

Talking of replacing boards - I always repair and replace AS15 / AS19 chips because my theory is at least you know its 100% working with no compatibility issues.

for those that cant replace the chips there are services on ebay for TCON repair here in the UK so imagine other countries have people offering similar services.
