Samsung QN50Q60TAFXZA

[bscottjohnston]

I just picked this QN50Q60TAFXZA up for FREE in my neighborhood. According to the last owner it started flaking out on startup. When plugged in it begins to show the QLED screen but it flashes about every 8-10 seconds. Have not had it apart yet. I can't find any threads on this model. It does have some funky horizontal lines in the screen when I caught the power up on my iPhone.

Is there a common problem I should be looking for?

Happy to cruise a specific thread if you guys know what I should be searching for.

There's some pretty simple things to ty, if none of them work, being a QN I wouldn't be surprised if it was a problem on a panel driver/address board, probably bad diode pack or bad resistor/s but simple things should always be tried first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnJNItPbf48

Thanks - unfortunately this thing is a goner. I made a grave mistake when I opened the back of the set and a ribbon cable was damaged causing a vertical line in the screen. I did find some information on the "real" problem but since I shot myself in the foot it's now a nice 50" light panel.

On to the next find - whenever that is...

I see, that is unfortunate, yep have to be real careful, specially around the bottom edge, best not to stick anything in there, easy to ruin those since the edge and ribbons are real close together.

Live and learn - at least it was a "throw away"
