Hi all
I was just given a Samsung TV with the issue. I read various threads and videos and attempted the ribbon tape method to gain an image, but no luck.
Symptom:
No picture no sound.
When I plug in the power cord, Backlight LED turns on for a half second and then turns off. The red LED next to the power button located center bottom flashes 2 or 3 times. When the power button is pressed after, it does the same thing.
No sound at all.
What I tried:
1. I tried unplugging the left or right ribbon cable to the panel, if I unplug EITHER cable, the LED backlight stays on and gains sound(smart hub sound when turned on) TV now stays on. If I plug both, I get the same symptom above.
2. If I unplug the power cable from the power board to the mainboard (the mainboard gets no power), the LED backlight stays on. No sound.
3. If I unplug EITHER the left or right panel film ribbon cable(third pic, brown cable), the power LED will STAY ON. If I press the hub button I get the smart TV sound. but no image whatsoever.
4. I tried the tape method. simply put as long as I keep the 2nd pin from the right side from either the left or the right cable(doesn't matter both), all ribbon cables are plugged in, the backlight stays on and I get the hub sound. But still no picture. I tried covering different combinations of pins prob 10 attempts, but I got no image at all.
I ran out of ideas and had to post here to ask for advise to you guys. Please help!
