    Samsung Syncmaster 940BX problem - Need help please

    Hi all, great forum and thanks for the chance to join. I started a new thread for this problem as I got no answers tagging on the end of a previous thread - so fingers crossed :-) - I have read with interest the progress of other members in fixing the Samsung 940BX monitor. Before diving into mine and following guidelines already posted I thought I would run my fault past the list members first, in case there is something in particular for me to check that is not already covered.

    My monitor works for two seconds after switch on then goes to a blank screen, with the blue light still on. It seems to be very similar to the problem other members have had. In the two seconds or so that it is on the screen it looks fine and the displayed data is as it is on another screen. Should I just start replacing capacitors as described? Best ones to start with?

    Thanks again!

    73,
    Graham.

    How do the capacitors look? It's worth replacing all the caps if some of them are bulging. On the other hand, if the monitor has nothing but United Chemicon caps, and they all look perfect, changing them is not the best way to start.

    For a number of reasons, both health and personal, I will no longer be active on this board. Any PMs asking for assistance will be ignored.

    Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic.

      Samsung LU32J590UQUXEN Monitor display problem
      by CptChronic
      I have an intermittent display problem with my monitor, when I plug in the HDMI cable to my (or any) laptop, you see the connection screen shrink on the laptop as it usually would before displaying on the monitor but 95% of the time the monitor display stays black.

      Before it cut out all together, tapping the monitor control button a fair few times would make the screen display, and everything work fine.

      But now it never does it. Not sure what's going on, hoping someone can help. I'm capable of stripping the thing down and soldering in new parts if needed, or programming...

      Samsung UN55JU650DF network/streaming problem
      by howardc64
      Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

      This TV runs older Tizen OS (updated to latest version, see pic) and have problems with network (wifi or ethernet) connection. The Tizen UI frequently switch to coax input source while changing content sources. . If no good signal (coax not connected, no prior antenna/cable...

      Samsung Syncmaster 740BF repair
      by soopacrucial
      Hi folks,

      I'm new here and was wondering whether you might be kind enough to give me some advice on troubleshooting the following problem:

      Quite a few years ago now, a couple of years from new, my Samsung Syncmaster 740BF LCD monitor starting playing up by making a buzzing noise and then the display would go blank. I seem to remember the blue power led would also go off when this happened but that I'm not 100% sure of. By pressing the power button I do remember I could at first get it working again but eventually the problem would come back. At the time I had read about...
