    Re: Samsung LN40B650T1F won't power on

    Update. Talked my friend into taking the back off his Samsung LED to check for obvious. He sent me some photos which I have attached. See nothing obvious to me. If I can get a little help, I will loan him a meter if anyone has any ideas. If I get any help, I will arrange to get more pictures of the boards. Symtoms are, works fine for 5-10 minutes, then loses video. Cycling power button brings back to normal for another 5-10 minutes and so on. Please help me get him started. The TV is too big to smuggle into work!

        Ask your friend to check the screen in a dark room and see if it remains glowing or if it goes out.

            Re: Samsung LN40B650T1F won't power on

            Had my friend power up his TV, shut off the lights and wait. TV had not been on yet that day. About 7 minutes and 40 seconds later screen flickered for a second and then went black. He examined screen as tom66 told him to do and reported absolutely no glow or any light whatsoever from the LCD. Audio works and able to change channels from remote, but screen is black. After cycling the power button, picture came on and appeared normal for about 15 seconds and then went black again. Several more tries, failure was observed approximately 15 seconds each try. I have read about using the flashlight to look into a black screen for repairing monitors to check for image. I guess that would apply to LCD TV's also? I told him to try that when he got home and report back.

              My buddy called to update that when the LCD screen goes black, and he looked at the screen with a strong flashlight, he could indeed make out moving images. Please answer, at least this question. I really am trying to learn, but obviously my experience is lacking. I think this is telling us that the backlights are not receiving power or are losing the signal from somewhere telling them to stay on?

                I had this model before: Common things that might cause your problem may be a bad transformer, or a bad ccfl lamp.

                  Re: Samsung LN40B650T1F won't power on

                  While respectfully waiting for some help, I emailed the following to my anxious friend. I don't know much, but I am trying to learn. Please jump in so I am not misleading him!

                  OK, Not getting much direction from the forum. We will go on while waiting for them. This is what I know so far. I am not even thinking about the line at the top at this time. We will worry about that later.
                  -Your Power supply is not dead. Part of it may not be functioning but most of it is. You have Audio (you can hear it) and you have Video (can see with the flashlight).
                  -Your Main board is not dead. Part of it may not be functioning but most of it is. You have Audio, Video, etc.
                  -I believe your LCD screen is fine. Not tab related I don't think.
                  -The problem is your backlights are shutting down. tom66 had us check for glowing I think for T-Con problems, but since you had success with the flashlight test also, maybe T-Con is OK. You have at least 4 (maybe more) CCFL tubes in the LCD Screen which illuminate so you can see the image. The image is there, thus your power and main boards are somewhat functioning possibly even 100%. budm has a test lamp idea I will look into for later.
                  -The CCFL lamps must have voltage to light and must have an input signal to tell them to light. You are losing power to the lamps or something is causing trouble and the main board is shutting the lights down. What could do that?
                  -Glitcher says, you could have a faulty or failing lamp which is causing current draw to rise, a faulty or failing transformer which is causing excessive current draw and shutting the lamp circuit down, you could be losing the signal telling the backlights to stay on or you could be losing the main voltage from the power board, to the portion of the main which drives the lamps.
                  -I really want to help, but I can't do this alone as my understanding of electronics and LCD monitors and TVs is limited so maybe if I post this someone will help us by agreeing or disagreeing with my very basic theories and understanding and direct us.
                  P.S. If you have an IR thermometer, maybe you can use it to see the temperature difference on the transformers indicated in the attached. See if 1 is running much hotter than the others while we wait for additional help and guidance. If we need to measure some voltages to post replies to suggestions, do you have a digital voltmeter? If not I can find one to loan you.

                  Hope you can hang on a little longer before taking it in to the shop.

                    Re: Samsung LN40B650T1F won't power on

                    I read over the thread again, and I think it does point to a failing ccfl lamp. But I would test for all the other possibilities first since its a very delicate task getting to them.

                    The model I had would turn on for a minute or a couple of seconds and then flicker and go off. I did read somewhere that one of the transformers on this psu would run just a little hotter than the rest. Here's a photo of what I found after I opened up the panel (wasn't easy).

                      At this point I believe a volt meter would be a good idea.

                        Thanks Glitcher and tom66. I will get him a volt meter and/or kidnap his TV, whichever he feels more comfortable with and reply when ready. So from the photo, the LCD screen has 14 backlights or lamps? And the reddish one I guess is not right? Thanks again!

                          My buddy Cal now has a meter to use and surprised as I am, he is ready to dig in. I think he just got bit by the same bug that bit me when I found this site. So if you guys are still willing, we are standing by for instructions! Thanks for spending the time to help us learn. I know this will be a bit challenging for us, but our lack of knowledge should be offset by our enthusiasm. He will keep the TV at his house for troubleshooting and the boards will come to me for component removal/replacement, etc. Thanks again for your knowledge and willingness to help us.

                            OK, see pic attached.
                            • Set voltmeter to highest DC range, usually 500, 600 or 1000V.
                            • Note DC is marked with a solid line and a dashed line. Do not confuse this with the AC mark (a squiggle like this: ~)
                            • Make sure red probe is in VOLT/OHM jack, black probe in COM.
                            • TV should be turned ON and showing picture.
                            • On each of the two exposed terminals of the highlighted device, test the voltage.
                            • I am expecting about 390V with it working. Note HIGH VOLTAGE so be very careful not to touch the terminals, or any part of the power board while in operation or if plugged in.
                            • See if voltage drops out when the backlight cuts out.

                              Sounds exactly like a bad ccfl bulb. They will turn on initially and if te tv senses a break in connection on a bulb then it will shut the backlight off. I had the same issue with another lcd samsung and if you take the lcd screen out and the diffuser sheets and power the tv on right when the backlight turns on you will see what bulb is not fireing.

                                And thanks audiofreak19. I will keep your test in mind if/when we get to that point.

                                      Misleading, because "LED" is not a type of screen.

                                        Thanks for the enlightenment. I came here to learn, not to be insulted. So while you are so good with letters and abbreviations, you probably know what FU stands for.

                                          LED TV is Samsung's misleading term for LED-backlit LCD. Please note this is different from CCFL backlit but only in the backlight. They both have LCD screens and produce near identical picture quality (LED screens have slightly improved colour rendition, and sometimes higher brightness, at the expense of poor contrast.)

                                          I doubt he (RJARRRPCGP) meant any disrespect.

                                            by Tynan Dill
                                            I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                            Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                            I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                            The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                            With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                            Hi everyone,

                                            I'm working on an Acer Nitro 5 unit with the following specs:

                                            The laptop initially presented graphic issues and driver failure (Code 43) for the GPU.

                                            After preventive maintenance (cleaning, thermal paste, etc.), it powered on normally. We disassembled it again to inspect the GPU, reassembled...

                                            Hi and thanks in advance for any input you might provide!
                                            I have a Sceptre U550CV-UMRD8POTV83BB 4K LED (this is a dumb tv) that I bought new in August 2021, so It's just completed 3 years.

                                            Panasonic switching power supply daughter board has two 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors which I do not keep in stock
                                            by sam_sam_sam
                                            I did not have any 27uf @ 50 volt capacitors but one nice thing is that it has enough room for two capacitors in parallel a 22uf and a 4.7uf @ 50 volts 22 plus 4.7 equals 26.7uf which so very close to 27uf I will show some pictures of it sometime tomorrow

                                            This is one of the shit est boards I seen in a very long time and it was the daughter board the traces just lifting off the board I had to use the capacitor leads to repair the the traces and the main board is not any better because I had to repair several traces for the daughter board to the main board
