I recently got my hands on a model 2493HM. At first the power led would just blink blue and never show anything on the display. After opening the unit, i found a bad cap on the power board. I replaced it, but when i was reassembling the monitor i noticed a rattling sound coming from the logic board. It sounds like a small piece of metal is caught somewhere and is rolling around. I would normally not pay this any mind, but now i get a solid blue led and no display. Any suggestions?

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
1) Replacing the one obviously bloated cap may not be enough. Capacitors die from age, heat, and shoddy build quality. Capacitors DO NOT have to be visibly bloated in order to bad. They can be out of tolerance uF (a 1000uF measures 20uF) and/or have high ESR (ohm). A multimeter will be insufficient to test for ESR. For that you need an ESR tester which costs between $50 and $300.
2) What brand and series did you use for a replacement cap?
3) If you hookup a computer displaying your favourite wallpaper, can you see it by shining a flashlight on the lcd?
4) If you have no display, check your voltage regulators on the logic card.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
I just stripped a capacitor off of another motherboard. I did make sure that it had equal capacitance and it actually was a larger voltage. Im not sure of the brand. I hooked the monitor up to my computer and held a flashlight up to it to no avail. I did not see anything on the screen.Comment

2) Still waiting for answers to questions #3 and #4 in post #2.
3) Forum members here like Panasonic FR, FM, and FC (in that order). Other good quality caps are listed in the FAQ section at

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
2) What is the part number for the yellow circled component?
3) To measure the DC voltage of a voltage regulator, put your multimeter on 20V DC. Plug in all boards and plug in the lcd into the AC outlet.
Put your black probe on a ground screw on the logic board. Put your red probe on each of the individual pins of the circled components. List the DC voltage for each component and pins.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
Well, in trying to test the voltage regulator i got some good sparks flying. Unfortunately how they built this thing it was impossible to fully assemble without the back panel and test the leads. I had to set it up where the logic board and power board were hovering over each other. Needless to say, as soon as i hooked it up i got shocked and i saw some sparks when i was trying to disconnect it. Now, fully assembled, the led wont even light up. Is it completely dead?Comment

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
If you have no LED at all, you probably shorted something out. I wouldn't say it is completely dead, but we will now have to troubleshoot what components are shorted out or blown.
With power off and the lcd unplugged, check the following.
1) Check the two fuses by the AC input. A good use should measure less than 1.0 ohms.
2) There is a bridge rectifier (long black) just below the 2J 474J white capacitor. Number the pins 1, 2, 3, and 4. Set your multimeter on 200 ohms. Measure 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, and 3-4. Any reading under 30 ohms suggests it may be shorted.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
It would also help if you could give us an overall picture of the boards when everything is assembled so we can see how you are testing it using a multimeter. That way, we can suggest test points that are easy to reach for the multimeter probes.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
I should explain the troubleshooting process here.
When the LED is green/blue, but you don't see the computer wallpaper with a flashlight, this implies that something is wrong with the logic board. That is why we are checking the voltage regulators on the logic board.
If the LED is green/blue and you can see an image with the flashlight, that implies something wrong with the inverter board or ccfl.
If you have no LED, that implies that there is something wrong with the power supply and/or the logic card.Last edited by retiredcaps; 02-16-2011, 12:43 AM.--- begin sig file ---

Re: Samsung 2493HM issue
You obviously want to order replacements (maybe 4 or 5 in case it blows again), but you also want to check out the bridge rectifier as well before installing the new fuses.--- begin sig file ---

by vincentedelHello,
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 timeβlike after playing a gameβthe 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...-

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 π

by FourRunnerI 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...1 Photo

by ScHAmPiHi 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...2 Photos - Loading...
