    Re: Samsung LN32A550 Backlight Issue

    Is it that cheap for the whole inverter board? Ebay?

        Well the new inverter board fixed the issue. I'll have to test the old board a bit more to see why it was failing. Just thought I would update my situation. Thanks for everyone's help!

          That is good news for the price of the repair, you can do resistance reading comparison first on all the transformers, MOSFET's.

            Actually just yesterday I was fiddling around on the inverter board and found a fuse I think I missed the first go around of testing. The fuse is quite possibly broke because I can't get a resistance reading across it. I'm not sure where I will find a replacement for it. It's one of the tiny 6.3amp fuses on the lower end of the board (most likely why only the bottom 4 lamps were not working at all). That would be funny if replacing it fixed the issue.

              Is it black in color with number like 15 or 20 printed on top?

                  Do you mean the link to the seller? I got my board from e-bay. It came out of a used TV that had gone bad. Sorry for this posting delay. I quit getting notifications on this thread...

                    Samsung Series 9 - BIOS issue
                    by Kjell
                    After installing Linux, I can no longer enter the BIOS of my Samsung Series 9 (NP900X3C) laptop. When pressing [F2] during boot I simply get a black screen. Same thing when pressing [F10] and choosing "Setup" from the "App Menu" tab. Apparently this is a relatively common issue with Samsung laptops of that generation, but unfortunately i haven't been able to resolve the issue (yet).

                    Things i've tried so far; reinstalled Windows 10, checked for redundant boot entries, tried to factory reset using the emergency keyhole, attempted to clear the NVRAM by physically...

                    Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
                    by x_orange90_x
                    I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

                    I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

                    Samsung DM32D – Red LED blinks 5 times, won’t start (possible mainboard issue)
                    by Nairolf
                    Hello,

                    I have a Samsung DM32D display.
                    When I try to power it on, the red LED blinks 5 times and nothing happens—the unit won’t start.

                    Here’s what I have tried so far:
                    1. Disconnected the cable between the mainboard and the power supply → the backlight turns on.
                    2. Disconnected the main T-CON ribbon cable → same issue as before, the LED still blinks 5 times.
                    3. Disconnected one of the two T-CON ribbons to the panel (tested each one separately) → same issue, the LED blinks 5 times.

                    From these tests, I suspect the problem might be on the mainboard. Could anyone...

                    Samsung UE48H6410 replaced Mainboard but backlights doesnt go on
                    by max789
                    Hello, I have a problem with my Samsung UE48H6410SSXZG with the main board BN41-02156A and the power board BN44-00709A. Everything seemed like this, the TV could no longer be switched on, the standby LED always flashed 5x2 times. Backlight was off and no sound from TV. Also made the flashlight test and there was no picture.

                    I made the following tests:
                    1. Disconnected the main board from Power Board = backlight works.
                    2. Connected the main board and disconnected the T-Con = backlights does not work.

                    So I ordered a main board from Ebay also BN41-02156A but from...
