You are beating a dead horse. Change the main board and get on with the rest of your life. The main board controls everthing. Jumping this signal or that one or letting it float up and actvate something is not going to get the processor working. The main board is dead. Bury it.

I have changed 2 of them so far. One completely dead like yours and another just half dead, with an intermittent connection under a flat pak chip.

Sorry to hijack this thread but I have this model, the LN32c540. I ordered a main board off ebay for a 550 series. http://www.ebay.com/itm/110893864063...84.m1497.l2649 but the ribbon cable is larger than the zif connector on the board. Where did I goof up?

Thanks

Samsung TVs have different versions for a given model. You must order the correct version part for the unit you are working on. The version number can be found on the small Model/Serial number tag on the SIDE of the TV. The sticker on the rear may or may not show the version. The version will be something like SQ01, AO03 etc.

If you post the version number, and the FULL model number, I will try to get the proper part number for the board you want.

BN96-16368A is the part number for the board you need. Others will work, but you need to know which ones are suitable, and they usually require reconfiguration in the service menu.

So if I look for the 550 series part would I need to find a CN05 version for it also? I like the idea of the added inputs. I've looked up the BN96-16368A on SJ but its out of stock. Ebay didn't have any listing either.

Re: Samsung LN32C540F2D NO Power No Red Light

Unfortunately, the version numbers for Samsung do not operate that way. There is no CN05 version of the 550.

I work on a LOT of Samsung TVs. Unless you absolutely know what you are doing, I would not substitute boards between models. Some are interchangeable, some are not. The 550 is a 1080P model, the 540 is a 720P. These use different panels, and probably different LVDS cables. Substituting the 550 board for a 540 board could quite possibly result in a smoked panel or main board. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS!!

Understood, I'll look for the correct part. Thanks for your help
