    Samsung 193v 2sec-black issue

    Got this from a client of mine last week, thought it was going to be an easy fix.. guess I was wrong..

    It was made in 2003 so I kinda suspect that after 8 years perhaps the lamps are indeed kaput because when I cracked it open, there were no obvious bad caps.

    But I did check all of the caps with ESR meter. All of the tall skinny ones were indeed bad as usual so they got replaced. I resoldered the pins of the transformer. Put it back together somewhat, turned it on still not working right.

    The filter cap read 1 instead of 0.. is this a possible issue?

    After I did some research here I think I goofed while doing the CCFL test.. I left the 3 other sockets empty and just used a single spare lamp.

    Wanted to rule out everything else before I really tear this thing apart to get at the lamps.

    Additional Info.. I plugged in a pair of spare lamps that are known to be good and I still get the 2second to black issue. I noticed that the lamps didn't come on right away.. took a bit of time for them to light up.. ( maybe 10 seconds if that).. scratching head now..

    Re: Samsung 193v 2sec-black issue

    I have had mixed results testing with just one lamp plugged in ,I have even had monitors where the single lamp would light but it was still causing a sec to black problem.
    The best way to test in my opinion, would be to use at least on good ccfl.

    well I mised the part where you used known good lamps Sorry.

    Whatever I do, I consider it a success, if in the end I am breathing, seeing, feeling and hearing!

      You will need lamps connected to all four connectors or you will get 'two seconds to black'.

        Well I guess I get a Mark Twain on that one.
        What I thought the OP was describing was a way to find a totally failed ccfl.

          Hi Bill.. guess I should have clarified. I installed 2 pairs of lamps so all 4 sockets were connected.. still had the 2 second to black issue.

          What I meant and how it came out were two different things..

            One thing that complicates the process is many monitors use a single secondary to drive two CCFLs. A single CCFL won't light with that design, you will need two.

              Thanks for clarifying that. Did all four CCFLs light up?

                Yes the spare lamps did light up.. although it wasn't right away.. my understanding is that they are supposed to light up immediately. It took them more than a few seconds. Is this normal?

                  Not only is it not normal, it is very unusual. We all know the variable nature of time (five seconds being kissed by Aunt Edna seems a lot longer than 5 seconds being kissed by third cousin Sally). I'd suggest you time the actual delay. I could accept a 1 or 2 second delay; longer indicates a problem.

                      Samsung SyncMaster 740n Phase Control Issue
                      by vincentedel
                      Hello,
                      I'm having an issue with the Samsung 740n's phase control setting. When I use the automatic adjustment, it sets the value to around 54 (with a range of 0-100), and the picture looks clear and sharp. However, after some timeβ€”like after playing a gameβ€”the text starts to look blurry. When I auto-adjust again, it may increase the value to 80, and everything becomes sharp once more. Yet, after a while, whether it's a few hours or a day later, the same blurriness returns, and I have to adjust it again.

                      I'm using the Samsung 740n monitor drivers instead of the default plug-and-play...

                      QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV Issue
                      by Manucsl
                      Hello.

                      My TV is a QE65Q800TATXXC Samsung TV.

                      Issue : When you plug the 220V, voltages are OK on the power board and you can hear the click from the relay, but TV is not starting when power button is pressed. Red led is blinking when you press power button. But no images or sound ( Back-light is off )
                      Then if you disconnect the cable from the main board to the power supply, the TV back-light turns on.
                      Any ideas to check would be very appreciated 😊

                      After reading some posts on this forum, I suspect an eeprom issue so I bought a CH341A to dump...

                      Display issue Samsung TV UA65JS9000W
                      by FourRunner
                      I purchased a used Samsung TV model UA65JS9000W recently knowing it had an issue with the screen. When switched on the picture was bright both sides of the screen but a little darker in the middle of the screen. Thinking this was the back lights (side mounted LCD strips) I replaced these, however the issue is still there. I am now thinking it may be a TCOM issue, but am not sure, any advice on this would be appreciated. Also whilst changing out the back lights I noticed the the thick clear plastic sheet (maybe 1.5 to 2mm thick) below the diffusers there is cracking (up to 75mm) on the sides and...

                      Samsung UE48JU7000 screen issue after backlight replacement
                      by ScHAmPi
                      Hi all,

                      Because of two bright spots and a couple of dark spots I decided to replace the backlights in my Samsung UE48JU7000. See attached photos:


                      I thought all went well, but after full assembly and testing it out it turns out not all is fine. The backlights are completely fine but I have some weird issues on the right half of the screen. Since I didn't really touch the T-CON board (apart from taking out the ribbons of the display and reconnecting them on assembly) it would be weird that the issue is with the T-CON board... But based on the behavior of the service...
