    Samsung LN32A450C1D - With partial picture

    As you can see in the picture, I have a Samsung LN32A450C1D that has a partial picture.

    The set doesn't appear to have any power issues. I'll re-cap the power board(Samwha caps) after I get the main issue resolved.

    TCON fuse shows 11.91 on both sides
    Sounds works

    Voltage Regulators are listed below - I not sure how to tell if one of these is bad.

    The part number/datasheet tells you the expected output voltage. If it has a suffix like -33, that means the output voltage should be 3.3V DC +/- 1% (some datasheets specify 2%).

    If there is no suffix, then it is an adjustable regulator and it should be pin 1 + 1.25V for the output of pin 2.

    location -IC1004
    RT9183

    pin 1= -.005
    pin 2= 1.181
    pin 3= 3.319
    IC1004 is suspect. At 1.181, it is 5.52% ((1.25-1.181)/1.25) out of spec as the output should be 1.25V DC.

    By the way, you should never have a negative voltage reading if you are using the proper ground. This implies your multimeter might be out of calibration.

    With your multimeter set to DC V, when you touch the two probes together, it should read 0.000V.

      I'll pull it off and test it using the technique you taught me in a previous post.

      Since this is a fix voltage regulator, I won't need to use any resistors. I'll be connecting 2 AA batteries together and checking the output on PIN2.

        Something doesn't seem right with my testing method or I don't fully understand how I should be testing the regulator.

        2xAA batteries=~3.0V

        PIN1 connected to Negative (GND)
        PIN3 connected to Positive

        Measure
        PIN1 to PIN3=3.057V
        PIN1 to PIN2=1.466V

        Shouldn't PIN2=1.2V per the spec sheet? (RT9183 12PGFAD11W)

          Oops, my bad.

          I didn't see the 2nd line in my initial scan of your results. You are correct it is a fixed 1.2V regulator so 1.181 is a good reading.

            The datasheet lists two types of SOT-223 packages. Depending on which you have, VOUT could be pin 2 or pin 3.

            And yes, the output should be 1.2. If pin 2 is truly 1.466V, then that is a problem.

              It looks like you have the F-Type according to the datasheet from your initial readings.

                Did you measure the voltage regulator on the t-con board? There is one obvious one and maybe a DC-DC converter on the board?

                  Have you unplugged the lvds cable cleaned and reseated it?

                  Try gentle pressure on the tab bonds on the panel.

                    Re: Samsung LN32A450C1D - With partial picture

                    I measured the voltage several times with my testing rig and it was the same each time. I reattached the regulator to the main board and the readings were the same as before it was removed.

                    I gleened a little bit of knowledge from that excercise. I'm still not comfortable with the readings from the test.

                    Here are the measurements from the regulator on the t-con board.

                    I can't seem to find any specs on this one.

                    2=1.218
                    3=3.3.01


                    I took some better pictures of the TCON. I'm not sure about the second part you mentioned. I outlined two parts. The one listed aboved and :

                    24C64WP
                    K807P
                    Which appears to be an EPROM.

                    The cable has been cleaned and reseated and there is no change in the picture.

                    I tore the panel down to where I could get to the tabs. I know now why it was so hard to get that metal trim off around the panel. If I'm not mistaken, that's piece of weather stripping. That means someone has tried to repair this set before. I see no re-work on any of the boards.

                    I carefully removed the weather stripping and applied light pressure on the tabs. The picture did not change when pressure was applied. I am hoping this rules out a tab bonding issue.

                      It looks like a PNP transistor. I don't know if the voltages are good or not, but at least it is not shorted otherwise the voltage readings would be the same.

                        Does anyone else have any input on this set?

                        I'm not sure if I have a bad panel or t-con at this point. I don't appear to have a tab bonding issue, so I'm leaning toward the t-con.

                          If you can get a tcon for cheap (say $20), then it might be worth a try.

                          The front page on my local warmart flyer shows a Seiki 40 inch LCD HDTV (1080p) for $298.

                          I present the above pricing info just to give you an idea how much you should spend trying to fix a 32 inch tv.
