    Samsung Syncmaster 943B problem

    Hello
    I have a problem with a samsung 943B, initially thinking it was a power problem i replaced the power board which is a bn44-00082e, i had a flashing of the ccfl lamps and the monitor would not start, i replaced the power board and the problem is remained, thinking they were the lamps I tested them with a ccfl lamp tester and they are all working, at this point I think it is the main board which is a BN41-01172B, my question is, before making a further purchase there is a way to turn on the lamps without the main board to exclude that the new power board is also broken? Of course without the main board the lamps show no signs of life, so maybe I should short out two of the 12 output pins to turn on the lamps, like the guy on youtube did Grazie

    Yes, you can test the inverter with the main board disconnected.

    My guess would be that pin 8 (O/F) on the power supply board is for the inverter On/Off control pin. Pulling this pin up to 5V (so connect pins 5 or 6 to pin 8) should turn on the inverter (and backlights.) Probably best to use a 100-Ohm series resistor between these two rather than a direct connection, though... just in case.
    Pin 1 (ADJ) should just be for adjusting the backlight brightness, but usually that can be left unconnected for testing.
    I'm not sure what pin 7 (DCR) is for, but you can probably leave that one alone as well.
    So connect pins 8 to 5/6, and see if your backlights turn ON and stay ON. They should stay ON as long as pin 8 is connected to pin 5/6.

    Also, I'm linking your thread here with the power supply, so that people can see the inverter you're dealing with.

      No, this doesn't work, I realized that with the main board connected the last two pins k1 and k2 receive respectively 14, xx volts and 5.1 volts I don't know if it can be useful

        K1 & K2 are from the button board, Key1 Key2 should only have about 3.5 volts not 14v. k1&k2 connect to CN5 where the buttons connect

            ok I rectify, on k1 and k2 I have 1.80 volts, on pin 8 I have only 3.10 volts, if they must be 5.1 I think they are insufficient

              The control voltages from the main board are 0~3.3v

                  Disconnect the main board from the power supply so you don't damage the main board, Then use about a 1kΩ resistor between the +5.1 volts and O/F that should turn on the backlights, if it does not, then connect another 1kΩ resistor between +5.1V and ADJ
                  I think the DCR pin is used on this power supply

                    all clear, except that I did not understand what to do with the dcr pin

                      for the DCR pin, Look at the back of the board where the plug is located, I do not think that the DCR pin is connected to any circuit.

                          Yessss ... they turned on, so the power supply is ok ... now I should figure out what's wrong with the motherboard, assuming it's repairable ...

                              You could disconnect the flat cable between the main board and the panel to see if the power supply and backlights turn on, as there may be a fault with the panel.

                                all the tests done so far have been done just as you advised me, without flat on main or panel

                                  I did some tests on the main, all the voltages are ok, except for pin 8 which theoretically should receive 3.3 volts but only 3.10 arrive, based on the lotas scheme what could I control?

                                    pin8 is o/f which is a control line to turn the power supply on and off 3.1 volts is fine. 0.2 volts is not going to make a difference.

                                      do you say to replace main directly or is there something I could check?

                                        As you can see there is not much to the main board, if the regulators are ok, it may be a firmware issue? but I think the boards are quite cheap to replace.

                                          I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                                          I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                                          The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                                          Samsung SyncMaster 215TW buzzing / lightning in power board socket

                                          This is my first post here. I just fixed my first 2 broken displays by replacing broken capacitors (Samsung SyncMaster 226BW, and Samsung SyncMaster 213T). But I have a third one I'm unable to fix, and am eager to fix as well:

                                          My Samsung SyncMaster 215TW makes a buzzing / hissing sound when turned on.

                                          The sound is louder the brighter the monitor is, e.g. in the "Game" preset is is even louder than in a softer preset.

                                          Opening up the monitor and unplugging the small socket cables that run from the power board to the LCD, I can see a small blue...

                                          Samsung Power Supply Board BN44-00874F
                                          by Nicktronic
                                          Hey everyone,

                                          This power supply board is hard to find but there are repair kits available. This board had a blown fuse, FP801S, blown PFC MOSFET, QP802CS and ceramic cap, CP809. I replaced them with parts I already had and tested the rest of the parts that would've come in the repair kit and they were fine. I powered the board up on the bench expecting, in typical Samsung power supply board fashion, to see all my output voltages but, nothing. 0 volts on CNL801, CNM801 and CNT801. The only thing I have is 170vdc on the filter caps. No standby voltage either.

                                          Anybody...
