Hello, sorry i am new here so i hope i got this in the right thread etc.
I've had my 205bw since sometime in 2006 always been good until the logic board went on it recently. I thoght it was gonna be the psu at first but after checking the caps i was baffled. I purchased another 205bw (so now i got two!) and i changed the psu's no change, swapped the logic boards and sorted.
It's all good and well solving the problem at hand but i am having a real hard time getting a replacement logic board because obviously i got a screen here that's perfect but without this part it's useless. Samsung never replied to me about locating a replacement logic board and i only found one place online (shopjimmy) who had the part but no loger have any stock for it and told me they don't know if they can get another.
I do not think i can really fix the logic board as i don't know exactly whats wrong with it. With the faulty board in a monitor the screen does come on but it's only just possible to see, the whole screen is black and you can just make out a faint greyness of the desktop background. When i try to use the osd which is controlled on the logic board the menu's that come up are all stuffed just the osd box comes up with no text. After i attempt to use the osd it seems to crash the monitor as in the buttons eg. front panel power will not turn off and i have to hit the switch on the underside of the monitor.
I don't know if it's worth me putting a photo up of the logic board itself because there is no sign of damage at all.
The only idea i have had so far is this :
206bw logic board
Ok 3 of the connections on this screen are identical. The big connection goes to the screen for the picture.
The power input is the second largest connection and is the same.
Then on the other side on it's own is the osd connection for the screens controls which are the same button configuration as the 205bw.
Only worry i got is the second smallest connection next to and on the same side as the power input ? It looks like the osd connection for the front panel controls but a little bigger. What could it be for ? Any ideas people ?
Regards, Kenny.

I got 3 IC EEPROM's for the memory, dvi and nvram from rapid. Got them swapped in and no luck still. I think it is the main chip on the board, the scaler... as i cannot come to any other conclusion. I have ordered the 206BW logic board in a hope i can get that to work in my 205BW. If i have any luck i will post up my findings.
